How BIM Advances Cost-Saving Planning and Prefabrication: NBBJ Designers Show How Two Projects Benefitted in Budget, Quality, And Schedule from Targeted Application of BIM (FEATURE) (Building Information Modeling‪)‬

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an evolutionary leap for the design and construction industry. More than 20 years ago, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) was touted to have the potential impact that we now foresee with BIM, but the profession adopted that early technology primarily as a replacement for drafting tools. BIM is transforming how we work, how we communicate, and how we construct. Two recent projects by the Columbus, Ohio, office of the international design firm NBBJ demonstrate BIM's potential to save time, cut costs, reduce construction waste, and design better buildings.
