Why is BIM Essential for Modern Construction Projects?
Budget overruns and project delays are frequent in construction, but Building Information Modeling (BIM) is helping reduce these issues. As architects and engineers increasingly use BIM to improve planning and discover products, manufacturers must keep up by offering accessible, BIM-ready product data. BIMobject makes it easy for your products to be incorporated directly into their digital workflows.

Have you ever heard about construction projects wrestling with budget overruns and project delays?
Take the Berlin airport, for example. It was more than €7 billion above budget and over a decade late, finally opening in 2020. And that is the norm.
Eight out of ten projects in the past 50 years have experienced similar issues.
Construction complexity is also continuously on the rise because of environmental regulations, material availability or the lack of skilled workforce.
And the path ahead is not looking any better if we continue to stick to the legacy planning methods that we're used to.
To address these challenges, the construction industry had a powerful method at hand: Building Information Modeling, or as we call it, BIM.
BIM is the most transformative and foundational digital workflow innovation in the AEC industry.
It works by creating a digital version of the building before it's being translated into real life.
The more accurate information architects, designers and engineers are utilizing in the digital models, the smoother construction projects will align with initial expectations.
BIM adoption has come a long way, with more than 50% of AEC professionals in North America and Europe utilizing this approach.
And it's not just a trend; it's a necessity.
As a consequence, building product manufacturers must realize that product discovery patterns are also changing.
Architects now go online, search for BIM objects, and then download manufacturer-specific things from a pool of different brands available at bimobject.com.
With each download, architects are enriching their model with manufacturer-specific product data.
Such as the weight, the color, EPD values, or the place of origin.
Providing ready-to-use, easy-to-access BIM objects at the critical time when architects are searching for their building blocks is essential for building product manufacturers to be considered in the construction projects of today and in the future.
