The BIM advantage
Saves Time
During design, there is increased opportunity for design iterations, as information is exchanged between disciplines quickly. Project documentation requires less time wasted on grunt work. Professionals can spend less time documenting decisions and more time making them. Everyone can avoid redundant effort. And construction can better support fast-tracking, tightly managed schedules, and the shared risks and rewards of design/build.

Improves the quality of work.
Improved coordination between documents, between disciplines, and across the entire team reduces errors and omissions. With coordinated documents and well-captured design intent, the enhanced design process makes for a far more informed design environment.
Quality can also be found in the pursuit and realization of higher design objectives - sophisticated building forms, innovative use of materials or assemblies, sustainable 'green' design, better performing buildings, and more.

Enhance profitability
and competitiveness.
Lower the bottom line: Effectively applied
man-hours, efficient deliverables, lower error and omission remediation costs can


all dramatically impact profitability. Moreover, the increased predictability of managed costs can be realized in lower contingencies. Many BIM practitioners can even point to lower insurance premiums as result of reduced project claims. Raise the top line: With a faster delivery of service, more competitive quality of work, and tighter bidding for design and construction services, BIM enables more profitable practice.


	BIM v/s CAD BIM Models and manages not just graphics, but also information - information that allows the automatic generation of drawings and reports, design analysis, schedule simulation, facilities management, and more - ultimately enabling the building team to make better-informed decisions. BIM supports an integrated multi-disciplinary environment so that people, tools, and tasks can effectively share this information throughout the building lifecycle, thus eliminating data redundancy, the need to re-enter data, data loss, miscommunication, and translation errors
