BIM for Owners


  • Increase building performance through BIM-based energy and lighting design and analysis to improve overall building performance

  • Reduce the financial risk associated with the project using the BIM model to obtain earlier and more reliable cost estimates and improved collaboration of the project team

  • Shorten project schedule from approval to completion by using building models to coordinate and prefabricate design with reduced field labor time

  • Obtain reliable and accurate cost estimates through automatic quantity takeoff from the building model, providing feedback earlier in a project when decisions will have the greatest impact

  • Assure program compliance through ongoing analysis of the building model against owner and local code requirements

  • Optimize facility management and maintenance by exporting relevant as-built building and equipment information to start the systems that will be used over the lifecycle of the facility
