Module 5 - Points to Ponder

What are the principal advantages of using a single building information model of the existing conditions as the foundation for modeling proposed additions or renovations?

Using a single BIM for existing conditions as the foundation for modeling renovations offers precision, design efficiency, cost savings, better communication, sustainability support, data integration, change management, facility management, and regulatory compliance in a streamlined, unified approach.

What sort of complexities are introduced when you construct a building complex in phases?

Constructing a building complex in phases introduces complexities such as coordination challenges, communication hurdles, cost management, scheduling complexity, and logistics and site access issues. Effective project management, clear communication, and careful planning are essential to navigate these complexities successfully.
