The information is shown in construction documents. It is observed that approximately 70 to 80 construction drawings versus 1,000 shop drawings are required in the case of documenting the steel frame for 1,000-ton building (1,000 tons of steel).

Unlike blueprints and CAD, a BIM is intelligent, stores data, and features geometry, allowing for a collaborative experience. In this case, you can use the plan vs actual data comparison tool to track your performance and power your team. When planning for any phase or task, involving all the key parties and stakeholders is vital.

“The first step of the plan was to demonstrate the value of BIM with an apples-to-apples project analysis, comparing a just-finished renovation using CAD with a second one using BIM.” Kowalske says paying the architect/engineer to develop the BIM documents typically results in savings for the owner.” Your thoughts?
