2. Benefits of BIM
• Better visualisation of the design, providing earlier, more
accurate and more easily understood designs;
• Provides better quality design, which is integrated and
optimised;
ti i d
• Improves communication and collaboration across multiple
design disciplines;
•R d
Reduces risk th
i k through d t ti of clashes and errors ;
h detection f l h d
• Reduces rework resulting in reduced abortive material and
time, thus reducing cost;
•R d
Reduces errors and omissions i construction d
d i i in t ti documents;
t
• Reduces cycle time of specific workflows;

3. Benefits of BIM
• Brings forward clash detection within the design cycle,
thereby introducing cost efficiencies to the project –
earlier/faster design decisions/problem resolution;
• P id greater certainty th t th d i i f ll coordinated
Provides t t i t that the design is fully di t d
and design documentation is consistent;
• Improved project process outcomes, such as fewer RFIs and
site coordination problems;
• Better multi-party communication and understanding from
3D visualisation;
• Reduced construction cost through reduced changes during
construction;
t ti
• Fewer claims/litigation/disputes/conflicts;
