Taking the Plunge: When is the Best Time to Switch to BIM?

Why Wait?

With all of the well-documented benefits of using BIM for design, coordination and construction, it make sense to switch to BIM sooner rather than later. Rather than inefficiently switching between multiple applications for 3D modeling, drafting, energy analysis, etc., most of these functions can be handled in one BIM application. While getting up to speed on a new tool will require an investment of time, that investment will pay off quickly and handsomely in increased work efficiency and less duplicated effort. Likewise, this will translate into a financial gain that will quickly outpace the initial costs of BIM. One doesn’t need to wait for a big project or for a client to mandate the use of BIM, either. Small firms working on small projects can also very easily start profiting from the use of BIM. With all of these advantages, why wait? Make the switch to BIM today!
