But even beyond BIM, the cloud in the construction industry enables a shared team room as an online workspace – also via mobile devices – for correspondence, documentation and archiving, making project work much easier. Transactions are documented in blocks in a decentralized database, which is mirrored on several computers.

That may be OK-ish with a traditional stick-built production home, where construction documents are commonly open to a certain amount of interpretation and making changes in the field isn’t uncommon.

That being said, someday we will know, and someday our contract documents will reflect the legalities of BIM. At this stage delivering HVAC and electrical content in model form for interference detection is a real bonus and a valid expectation.
