In 2014 experts had predicted a surge in the adoption of BIM. We can already experience this change and increased demand for Point cloud to BIM as built structures, and extraction of complete building information modeling benefits by implementing it across the lifecycle for new construction.

MEP Firms, ready to adopt BIM, can faster and easily fabricate the building elements directly in BIM model.

Legacy drawings often cause design conflicts due to a lack of visualization and interdisciplinary clashes. Adopting BIM allows architects and architectural firms to identify design clashes in the pre-construction stage, reduce rework and increase productivity. With a 360-degree visualization, architects can create virtual tours and win quick client approvals. BIM for architects provides improved collaboration, quick creation of multiple design prototypes, and better scheduling and cost estimates to architects and architectural firms.

Rail construction projects such as the Doha Metro in Qatar, and the North West Rail Link in New South Wales, Australia, are examples of collaboration between infrastructure companies and governments, using BIM to drive the design and construction, and in the process, optimizing the designs to withstand the challenges of the future, and save on time and costs involved in wastage due to rework, especially on projects of such scale.
