The BIM model is now an integral project deliverable as savvy contractors cost, schedule, detect clashes and execute relying on the model rather than a myriad of drawing revision and change requests. Downstream, owner operators rely on the same model for Facilities Management and on-going initiatives to reduce cost and the environmental impact of their buildings.
