For an increasing number of them, this transition entails moving from two-dimensional (2D) drawings to three-dimensional (3D) digital modeling. As such, builders can greatly reduce the typical communication challenges they face coordinating projects among clients, engineers, architects, contractors, site crews, and other stakeholders.

Structural engineers can use schematic connectors to define requirements. Detailers can use them to produce shop drawings. This feature improves level of details for reinforcement modeling and documentation. Rebar connectors interact with the rebar that they connect to, facilitating change management.

Even experience in extensive design in academic context can provide only limited perspective in engineering decision making. Most lessons in engineering decision making come from the cases of histories of failures of structures, which itself are the results of a bad judgement, thus making us understand the pitfalls in conceptual design.

A designer’s primary interest is for example the spatial structure, a structural engineer’s primary interest is the load bearing structure, while an energy engineer is interested in climate zones. The first documented use of the term BIM can be dated back to 1992 (van Nederveen & Tolman).
