Transformation Stages in Construction
CAD
• Paper centric
• 2D models or 3D only for
convenience
• Data lost between the phases
• Inefficient processes
• Low technology investments
• Still legal requirements
BIM
• Growing performance pressure
• Growing quality requirements
• Accumulated information used
by many stakeholders
• Forerunners gain competitive
edge
• New players challenging the
traditional ones
Collaborative
BrIM
•Sharing digital information
•Managing projects with data
•Automated manual routines
(sensors, robotics)
•Transparency increases trust
•Improved project deliveries
