BIM adoption
                        BIM is about linking data together efficiently and meaningfully in a central location so as to subsequently facilitate high levels of collaboration between project participants. BIM implementation has great potential and this is necessarily scalable, to meet the needs and budget of the client. However, in order to be successful BIM deployment for a particular project must be clearly tailored to the client’s needs, and these relayed to all project team members, so that their rights and responsibilities are equally clearly understood.


              Internationally BIM adoption is on the rise. A number of value propositions justify its use, and this may be accrued at the level of the firm or project. The use of BIM can enhance the attractiveness of individual firms, through improved service delivery and productivity, consequently improving their marketability, potentially resulting in repeat business. It is argued that early engagement with BIM hastens the point at which maximal benefit will accrue. At the project level BIM can provide greater value during design development, document development and construction/fabrication stages. During construction BIM has the potential to add value to the client through improved information flows, better project control and reduced conflicts.
