Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology is the most promising development in the AEC industry. With BIM Modeling, an accurate model of the building is developed which is intelligent and interoperable.
It helps architects, engineers, and contractors to visualize what is to be built in a simulated environment to identify any potential design errors.
Nearly half of the contractors (45%) use BIM on less than 15% of projects, and barely a quarter (23%) used it on more than 60% of projects, while architects were the largest users (43% used it on more than 60% of their projects).
Eighty-two percent of BIM users reported a significant increase in productivity due to using BIM. The use of BIM in construction will significantly increase in the near future because of the amazing advantages of BIM technology for the AEC industry.
