Arguments for BIM

In this section, you will hear arguments for and against BIM adoption. After watching the videos and discussing your views you will be asked to vote in a poll indicating your views on mandatory BIM adoption.

In this video Simon Graham and Nada Milivojevic are joined by Hadeel Saadon, a BIM Manager for Coventry University Estates and Facility Management.

To summarise, some reasons for BIM adoption are:

• Enabling construction workers to utilise the available data to coordinate their work.

• Improving coordination in the building sector and therefore reducing delays, costs and extended construction periods.

• Helping construction professionals share the information of a project effectively.
