Business Benefits of BIM at York University

As a new paradigm in the AEC and O & M has shifted from a two dimensional world to a multi-dimensional environment, owners need to now evaluate why they should consider BIM for their business. As owners embark on more complex projects they need to determine how BIM can help with their capital projects, major renewal and ultimately operations and maintenance. Optimization of the information management process and coordination between design, engineering and systems providers is paramount at the beginning of a project. Materials, energy and lighting systems to name of few can be evaluated earlier for optimal performance while accurate cost estimating for better decision-making and budgeting up-front through more integrated and accurate documentation can result in fewer change orders, the result can be better maintenance. BIM helps provide scenarios and schedules for maintenance and scalability of a building so that optimal performance can be maintained for the life cycle of the facility.
