What Problems Is It Meant To Solve?
The National BIM Standards will contribute to solving problems associated with ineffective exchange of facility information.Currently, building projects are much more expensive than necessary because they take too long and they allow and/or in some cases create too many errors. Even after projects are completed, management of facilities throughout their life is overly complicated, and can’t effectively take advantage of economies that would be available if information was readily available and easily exchanged. Concepts and designs for new facilities repeat mistakes made previously, or at least don’t make effective use of information from similar operations and assets already in use.
