Building Information Modeling, I think it’s safe to say, is one of the biggest developments in the construction space in the last 50 years. It gives building projects a central repository of information that helps keep projects running on time, to budget, and reduces the risk of costly errors such as clashing, among others.
While BIM adoption is growing, the U.S. doesn’t have a nationwide mandate for the use of BIM like other countries. BIM adoption got an added boost in 2020 due in part to the coronavirus pandemic as well as being a foundational technology that many other construction technologies are dependent on according to JLL’s State of Construction Tech: 2020.
