Did you know that traditional building methods are used quite a bit in today’s architecture industry, despite their time consuming tactics and over-budget tendencies? The best way to avoid both of these issues is to use this type of modeling for all stages of construction, beginning to end.
Fortunately, usage in the United States has increased 43 percent in the last seven years. Seven years ago, only 28 percent of architects were using a BIM service. Now, over 70 percent are! It’s expected that this percentage will grow more quickly now, considering the gaining popularity of the software. Not to mention, all the benefits architects will gain from using it!
To fully grasp the realization of how using a BIM service can help prevent over-budgeting, take a look at Stanford University Center for Integrated Facilities Engineering’s percentages. These numbers are based on their observations of 32 projects using BIM:
- A savings of up to 10% of the contract value through clash detection.
- Cost estimation accuracy within 3%.
- Up to 40% elimination of unbudgeted change.
- Up to 7% reduction in project time.
- Up to 80% reduction in time taken to generate a cost estimate.
