While Architects grab Revit, the complexities feel insurmountable, especially for smaller contractors in the electrical and mechanical trades. Augmented Reality, Laser Scanning, Immersive Environments and Digital Fabrication all are an extension of BIM. An investment of 6-18 months and $80-100,000 is not uncommon to hear.
