Even with BIM becoming more prevalent, it’s not often that the same 3D model is used throughout a project — from estimating to the field. For decades, 2D was the industry standard and even with more projects moving to 3D, we still see a fair amount of re-work in shifting between 2D drawings and 3D models. When this happens, we lose the ability to visualize and the resulting re-work is time-consuming and opens up the potential for errors which, in essence, defeats the purpose of BIM.
Using BIM can help better communicate the scope of a project. BIM models can help different members of the project team and crew understand what the job, even before they look at the plans.
