BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. The drive to achieve the lowest cost reflects a “first cost mentality” that is counterproductive to the longer term impacts of a built structure from both economic and environments perspectives.

Contractors are forced to shave their profits to razor-thin margins and gamble on their ability to compensate with change orders and claims on the back end. As we build a BIM database of the built environment JOC will have to absorb and leverage that, and new technology systems will emerge to do just that.
