BIM capabilities allow contractors to contribute technical input into bidding processes by advising on BIM requirements and providing information to complete procurement documents. This information becomes an asset for obtaining projects and allows clients better returns. However, realizing benefits takes time as every new technology requires a maturity period. Contributions also include work sequencing, programming, eliminating waste, and capturing data at stages to aid in operations and maintenance manuals. Key challenges include social issues of commitment to the process, technical issues of required information and system compatibility, legal issues of access rights and standards, and involving the supply chain based on cost versus competency.
