Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be a valuable tool in the hands of anyone who works in construction. As we saw above, BIM stands for Building Information Modeling. CAD drawings are used during Level 0, but there is no sharing of the generated information models. What BIM Actually Is.

Your construction budget is one of the most important things to get right in any project. Poor budgeting leads to inaccurate estimates and error-prone forecasts, which can result in unfavorable project outcomes. The lack of proper budgeting practices can also lead to communication breakdowns and misalignment.
