THE BENEFITS OF BIM
The transition to BIM offers the ability to streamline workflows across all disciplines of a project . Infrastructure takes a phased approach , involving multiple stakeholders ; requiring design , engineering and construction teams to coordinate . The complex nature of roads , highways and rail infrastructure design can benefit from BIM , which can meet the need for information sharing to avoid the bottlenecks of a paper-based or 2D digital approach . Jones maintains that , as an infrastructure contractor , the cost of not digitally upskilling with BIM would be catastrophic for business : “ It ’ s rare to receive a tender today that doesn ’ t ask for digital requirements in some form .”
