When we think of Building Information Modeling, we think of a well thought out process of connecting the designer, contractor, and owner together. We must consider the role for the designer, contractor, and even the owner. Some of the services might be Construction Documentation, Virtual Mockups, Schedules, Clash Detection, and more. When determining how to integrate BIM in your next project, ask these questions:
- What is the Owner expecting when they ask for “BIM” on a project?
- What software is the project expected to be delivered in?
- What is the BIM being used for?
- Who is relying on the BIM, for what, and when?
Asking the right questions early on will ensure your project is headed in the right direction.
