When It's Time to Get More ROI From 3D Models, Bring Them to the Field
Abstract
Fixing mistakes, looking for project data, managing conflict resolution, and more - these avoidable issues account for $177.5 billion in labor costs per year in the US alone. Experiencing the true value of BIM is realized when 3D models are leveraged throughout the construction workflow - offering accessible data, project visualization, actionable insights, and quality assurance to everyone on the project. Any successful build is reliant on a clear understanding of project data or else the field team is susceptible to miscommunication and misunderstanding deriving from outdated designs.

Tied into ERP systems, stakeholders can link to any object to view progress, browse status history down to specific dates, and share real-time project data with clients.

The successful GC's best kept secret: BIM models in the fieldOffering new efficiencies for data interpretation, project visualization, layout, and QA, BIM in the field promotes cross-discipline collaboration and offers the project transparency necessary to get the job done right the first time.
