8 Common Misconceptions About Bim

BIM
1. That productivity suffers during the transition to BIM!

  • A strong execution plan can help to increase accountability and productivity
  • Experience a 50% productivity gain in the long run
  • Close to 20% of users experience productivity gains of over 100%

2. That BIM applications are hard to learn!

  • Built specifically as a tool for conceptualizing and designing buildings and infrastructure
  • Unlike CAD, design and engineer in 3D from the start
  • More quickly explore multiple design alternatives
  • Visualize and simulate projects before they become real

3. That owners and contractors benefit most from BIM!

  • Everyone benefits
  • Designers can focus on high-value design, understand more about the design earlier through analysis and visualization
  • Clients get better use of resources on the project and a more predictable outcome
  • Contractors get higher-quality, more complete construction documents, making for a smoother, more predictable project delivery

4. BIM disrupts established workflows!

  • A BIM process helps standardize communication and define roles and responsibilities
  • Coordinated, consistent data in the intelligent model keeps all stakeholders on the same page no matter where or when they are working

5. BIM increases risk!

  • BIM helps reduce construction-documentation errors
  • Visualize even the most complex design challenges virtually to reduce conflicts and RFIs
  • Accurately communicate design intent to clients

6. BIM adoption affects productivity

  • cause some productivity losses during the initial implementation phase
  • BIM adoption does not incur any long-term productivity losses
  • Maximize return on investment (ROI)

7. BIM is expensive 

  • BIM technology is very expensive
  • BIM adoption is higher than the traditional construction process
  • BIM implementation include cost of buying hardware and software

8. BIM benefits the owner only

  • BIM implementation does not benefit engineers, contractors, designer
  • Helps all team members derive several benefits
  • Getting an income hike
