NEW YORK — The benefits of building information modeling (BIM) and other technology advancements that allow the exchange of information on design and construction projects, including improving labor productivity and reducing costs for construction companies, are just the beginning of what can be achieved, according to a new study released by Dodge Data & Analytics in partnership with Bentley Systems.
The findings are published in a new report, “SmartMarket Brief: BIM Advancements No. 1,” the first of a series that will examine how BIM and information mobility are transforming the construction industry, based on respondents from the largest architecture, engineering, and contracting companies in the U.S. The report is available to download here. For the first time for a SmartMarket study, the findings can also be accessed on a microsite at SmartMarketBrief.com, which allows easy mobile access to the data and offers the opportunity to go deeper into the findings.
