If you are, or have been involved with BIM in any sort of form, move past the cheesy headline of this post and think: are you truly confident that this ‘BIM’ thing is working? After all, there almost never are two projects available with exactly the same set of base conditions, done in parallel, one with and one without BIM.

Do you have trouble keeping up with the BIM jargon? Either because it is technology driven or due to it chronically suffering from the shortage of real news, BIM seems to get a boost of new terminology regularly. For example: ‘software agnostic’. Would a cross platform BIM count as a software agnostic BIM?

Some refer to these risks as "known-unknowns" because the estimator is aware of them, and based on past experience, can even estimate their probable costs. The estimated costs of the known-unknowns is referred to by cost estimators as cost contingency. RSMeans refers to this as, "Price the quantities."
