In fact, the oil and gas industry has been modeling its projects for thirty years, not starting construction until the model is complete, and all potential design conflicts resolved. In the building sector, BIM is largely confined to the design-build arena. Why Design-Build? So why doesn’t everybody do it?

“I hate accuracy in CAD!” Over the recent times, often guided by PI insurers, design consultants have developed an almost pathological fear of dimensioning. In CAD/BIM world, dimensioning became an after-thought – if the CAD file was accurate, a somewhat automated afterthought.

A good modeller will have plenty of opportunities to model, but rule number one is, that the ‘drawings’ are priority, what consultancies get paid for. CAD drawings never become universally accepted contractual documents and the risk/liability issues of that ‘language’ are significantly less difficult than what making models ‘real’ would be.
