Who benefits from Building Information Modeling?
When building information modeling is used effectively, architects can make use of a project's digital design data to provide new services and gain new sources of income.Owners are increasingly demanding digital models, and paying for them.
Architects can also offer new and expanded services—such as move management, energy analysis, digitally integrated cost estimating, and renovation phase planning—for additional fees.
Contractors are then able to more accurately estimate costs and quantities are linked back to the single database.
Consultants are able to tap into the BIM model for tasks like energy calculations, heating studies, and the completel building life cycle.

GSA and BIM for the Design Professional: The Virtual Courtroom and "BIM on Steroids"
GSA has piloted the replacement of a plywood courtroom mockup using 3D technology to evaluate the three functional requirements of a courtroom: sitelines, accoustics, and lighting/interior finishes. The new technology allows you to see the sitelines and hear how the testimony will sound. Also discover how to significantly reduce process time, and improve your scenario planning and outcomes. Manage more efficiently with BIM!
