BIM Advantages for General Contractors

Thanks to our cloud-based BIM & VDC expertise, building firms providing general contracting services can effectively cooperate with other trades and the customer. That allows for identifying and addressing issues in real-time, which also helps avoid expensive errors and reduce rework.

Since modern digital technologies have become necessary, not just “nice to have” options, more and more general contractors require BIM coordination during all stages of construction. That only proves the importance of BIM in the GC’s workflow. Ultimately, 3D coordination provides general building contractors with the ability to:

Visualize the entire project appropriately

Estimate project costs accurately

Improve change order management

Boost labor efficiency

Enhance facility management
