What are the risks of BIM?
These risks associated with BIM can, predominantly, be broken into two categories: firstly, risks caused by human error and poor communication; and secondly, risks associated with the BIM set up. There are the inherent problems associated with using complex systems on construction projects.
What is the advantages and disadvantages of BIM?
Minimal rework on site: BIM facilitates visibility of potential problem areas and allows errors to be corrected through model ‘clash detection’ before they are physically committed. This reduces the need for costly site rework and revision resulting in both labour and material savings.
What does project management entails by using BIM in the project management practice?
BIM can be used by project managers to improve communication, coordination, and collaboration on projects. In their roles as “integrators”, they can ultimately drive the use of a Common Data Environment and BIM Collaboration Format to increase operational efficiencies of project teams.

What is a BIM Execution Plan?
A BIM execution plan is a comprehensive document that helps the project team identify and execute the role BIM plays in the various phases of construction management. Properly built BEPs help keep teams on track by focusing on the important details, not necessarily micro-details, saving teams hours of time.
What are the benefits of BIM in construction?
Here are the 10 greatest benefits of BIM in construction:
- Improve Onsite Collaboration and Communication.
- Model-Based Cost Estimation.
- Visualize Projects in Preconstruction.
- Better Coordination and Clash Detection.
- Mitigate Risk and Reduce Cost.
- Improved Scheduling/Sequencing.
- Increase Productivity with Prefabrication.
Why are we doing BIM?
BIM is used for creating and managing data during the design, construction, and operations process. Using BIM gives you greater visibility, better decision-making, more sustainable options, and cost-savings on AEC projects.
