This document discusses how integrating 3D building information modeling (BIM) design with cost and schedule management can improve project efficiency and productivity. It explains that linking BIM, project scope, estimates, costs and schedules together in one environment allows seeing the visual project design and understanding how design changes instantly affect costs, schedule and earned value. The document promotes a project controls management service that can break down barriers to integrating BIM with cost and scheduling, creating better project control and saving time and costs. This service includes planning, scheduling, cost estimating, forecasting, change management and developing various project plans and procedures.
