In this high tech world we live in, just about everything is digitized. So it should come as no shock that even the construction of buildings is taking on a high tech digitalization before groundbreaking ever begins!
Building information modeling, or BIM, is the process of taking the idea of a building and basically building it within a software program first. From the ground up. This helps the decision makers tackle any issues and work out any kinks long before they are faced with them.
The use of BIM in the architectural and construction industries is on the rise! A tool like this can help save companies from having to solve some of those unexpected problems when they are in the middle of construction deadlines.
Here are some great resources to get more information about BIM.
