Five benefits of BIM for contractors

Published by Autodesk

Building information modelling (BIM) is the A+ student in the construction world. It has revolutionised the industry, boosting accuracy and efficiency, and drastically reducing rework.

Although the concept has been around since the 1970s1, BIM now offers more relevant, valuable benefits than ever before, helping construction teams stay connected to work harder and smarter.

Architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals are experiencing unprecedented disruption and change as their ways of working evolve. That means digital technologies, like BIM, are fast becoming indispensable. With this in mind, those who embrace digital tools and adapt their work processes will stay competitive and continue to grow.

Unlock a multitude of benefits

The global BIM market is booming. In fact, the sector was valued at almost US$8 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$15 billion by 2028.

That fast-paced growth is no surprise. In an industry where pressures on timelines and budgets continue to mount, BIM can potentially cut project work time in half3. Meanwhile, firms saving time and costs with BIM haven’t just maintained their quality: over 70% of AEC firms say the tool has improved project quality.

Because it’s accessible in the cloud, BIM gives all team members access to invaluable data within each model, giving you peace of mind that everyone is aligned.

Go green and cut costs

The construction industry generates around 40% of the world’s carbon emissions5, but digital tools can help firms cut their carbon footprint by:

■ reducing waste

■ saving energy

■ cutting the time people need to travel to and from a site
