Collaborative Construction Contracts Drive BIM, not Technology

BIM, the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technologies, holds promise, yet remains elusive to many. BIM is not 3D visualization, nor a single vendor’s software product. Figure 1 LEAN [1] Asset Life-cycle Management. Figure 2 BIG DATA – Facility Life-cycle Management.
