In fact, research by Stanford University found that clash detection done in BIM saves up to 10% of contract value and results in a 7% reduction in total project time compared to traditional model coordination workflows. Despite this, those who are adopting coordination technologies are still managing processes in the same way today as they did a decade ago, before the cloud transformed how teams work.

It’s an uphill battle: Figuring out what field resources you have available, what projects to put them on and how they will get there on time. Most contractors have an inefficient spreadsheet, whiteboard or paper-based solution, handling their most important asset in a fallible way.
