BIM for Owners

BIM has advantages throughout the life cycle of a project
but for Owners there are multiple long-range benefits to
be gained. Financial savings from a total project cost
perspective is likely the most attractive benefit for owners.
Where do these savings come from? Many places!

Using BIM allows owners to look into the future and see
what will actually be delivered in the form of a 3D
model; the result is less change orders during construction,
usually caused by clashes in building systems.

Better design quality; buildings perform better through
systems coordination and engineering analysis, allowing
longer term operational efficiency.
Scheduling (4D) and costing (5D) during the construction
process are fully integrated within a BIM model, helping
owners to make sound decisions based on multi-faceted,
accurate real-time information.
Schedule compression created through the use of digitally
assisted and off site fabrication helps create huge
interest savings; BIM helps owners save money by
delivering projects earlier. If a new opportunity for a project
arises in the construction process, 3D modeling can help
assess the merit of such a proposal. At the end of a
project the owner has a comprehensive digital model of
the building systems and components, which will aide in
the handover process and or facility management.

In short, owners will gain tremendous efficiency and as a
result improved profits.
