Building information modeling (BIM) is essential because it can help architects, engineers, and construction professionals plan, design, construct and manage buildings and other physical structures more accurately.
Through BIM software, team members can create a virtual model of a building that includes all relevant data about its components. This data can then help with everything from designing the building to installing plumbing and electrical systems to ensuring that the finished product meets safety requirements. In addition, BIM can assist with tracking costs and managing construction projects.
