What do LEED and BIM have in common?
Both LEED and BIM achieve maximum benefit for the owner when the design and construction team is formed before pencil ever hits paper on the design. This approach is known as integrated design and is rapidly replacing the old design-bid-build model of project procurement. It is based on the knowledge that a project’s cost-saving opportunities occur early in the design process and that, as the project progresses, changes become costlier.
