Building information modeling is no more the wonder word that the construction industry raved about. Today BIM has become vernacular of professionals working on building design and construction projects for large buildings and complex structures. The question that construction firms are asking is not about whether to implement BIM or not, now it is all about how it will be executed.

Up until two weeks back, only very digitally savvy people were heard using the term Augmented Reality - AR. Pokemon Go has turned the tables drastically bringing in immense awareness about AR. the truth is that many contractors and architects are experimenting with AR as a visualization tool, which means the technology is already being used in the built environment as part of the architectural and structural design process.

Let's see how Building Information Modeling - BIM and laser scanning technology are optimized by building construction professionals to streamline renovation, retrofit and refurbishment projects.

With developments in technology which support BIM workflows better than before, there are examples of ground-breaking projects in construction and infrastructure which have optimized energy use using efficient and reliable energy analyses using real building data - the most remarkable in recent times is the Shanghai Tower.
