Over the past two decades, BIM has gone from a nascent idea to an industry-defining method and technology. We always seemed to be at the \u201ctipping point\u201d with BIM adoption\u2014but that\u2019s completely changed now. We definitively know BIM is the industry standard. It\u2019s transforming AEC into a data-driven industry. Accelerating Digital Transformation Through BIM SmartMarket Report<\/em>\u2014a new global study by Dodge Data & Analytics conducted in partnership with Autodesk\u2014provides a thorough overview of how architects, engineers, and contractors are deploying BIM and leveraging data. <\/p>\n

Read the report findings here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the report, 60% of architects and 51% of MEP and structural engineers currently use BIM on at least 50% of projects. That number is forecasted to skyrocket to 89% and 80% respectively within the next 2-3 years. The biggest, recent mover to BIM is civil engineering. About 70% of engineers have adopted BIM since 2016. This particularly significant jump by civil engineers in the most recent period reflects the rapidly growing use of BIM for infrastructure work. <\/p>\n

High-intensity BIM for the win<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s one core reason why<\/em> there is a surge of BIM adoption. Firms are increasingly realizing that a digital transformation yields major business benefits, like improved client satisfaction and design quality; risk reduction; reduced errors and rework; and meaningful sustainability and operational efficiency benefits. But it\u2019s more than just adoption. The more you use BIM, the more you reap. The study found a company’s BIM intensity (i.e., the percentage of their projects where they use BIM) correlates directly to the progress of their digital transformation and the degree to which they report enjoying benefits from BIM investment and ROI. The study also suggests that BIM is a critical part of the digital transformation journey. Nearly half (47%) of high-intensity BIM users are approaching the goal of digital transformation, compared with just 26% of BIM users generally. <\/p>\n

Popularity of common data environments <\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the most-cited benefits of BIM is the collaboration opportunities through a common data environment (CDE) and taking advantage of the cloud. According to the report, a large majority of BIM users use a CDE to exchange data with their project teams. And contractors are reporting the greatest value from its use. The results are telling: \"\" <\/p>\n

More BIM, less risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mitigating risk is always a top priority across design and construction teams. According to the study, more than three-quarters of designers report a medium-very high degree of benefits across six risk reduction benefits: \"\" At the same time, BIM intensity correlates directly with achieving high\/very high levels of risk reduction benefits for design firms. \u201cHigh BIM intensity has the biggest impact on improving the ability to manage complexity, reduce errors and rework, and improve the ability to meet customer and design requirements,\u201d Dodge Data & Analytics writes. \u201cEven medium levels of BIM intensity correlate with experiencing increased stakeholder buy-in and ensured business continuity at a high\/very high level.\u201d <\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For me, this new data is exciting because we see how rapidly digital transformation is taking place now. BIM has always been about data. But seeing the true success and potential of BIM has been reliant on getting everyone on-board and using it daily. Now that\u2019s happening, from the architect, to the engineer, to the contractor. As an industry, we can\u2019t stop now. We\u2019re at the beginning of a new era for BIM. In a special interview for the report, Phil Bernstein, associate dean and professor adjunct at Yale University, noted, \u201cIt\u2019s my hope that as the industry faces its next set of existential challenges\u2014climate change, social inequity, labor shortages, broken supply chains\u2014it will deploy tools like BIM, and eventually AI, in the service of optimizing the entire delivery process.\u201d As the AEC industry continues to embrace BIM, even more avenues of digital transformation will open as we discover compelling solutions to solve the largest challenges we face. I encourage you to check out the full report and see the data for yourself<\/a> to learn more about how BIM is driving digital transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
