SEPTEMBER 2021CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6The term construction is often interpreted as manual labor and heavy machinery operating at large sites. What people fail to notice is the technological underpinning that goes into completing a construction project efficiently. From architects to designers to engineers, construction companies need to ensure efficient coordination between all stakeholders at every stage to facilitate seamless operations. However, contractors often find inaccuracies in construction drawings a little too late. A minor lack of coordination can lead to loss of both time and money. Thanks to Building Information Modeling (BIM), contractors can visualize the whole project before construction. It allows teams to detect any possible issues while still on paper, ensuring strong interconnectivity and coordination among all workers.Over the last few years, technology has had an immense impact on the construction industry. The increase of diversity across the sector and the encouragement of construction technology by a new generation of tech-savvy workers have allowed sites to become a connected ecosystem with people from various backgrounds. Software like 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and Revit have revolutionized how construction companies operate and manage their assignments. With platforms like Slack, Google Docs, Trello, Asana, and Stack Overflow, today's business is more collaborative, connected, and shared than ever before. Infusing BIM with accessible communication, planning, and modeling tools helps companies instill simplicity throughout the building and construction ecosystem and better unify the construction industry through collaboration.As businesses enter a post-pandemic world, collaboration will be the key focus for BIM service providers. With better communication and collaboration, fewer change orders would be necessary, and those necessary would be managed expeditiously, both upstream and down. As construction businesses prepare themselves for the future of BIM, it becomes imperative to weigh the options and identify the right BIM service provider to enable seamless collaboration across projects.In this edition of Construction Business Review, we bring you the story of some of the most successful BIM service providers. This edition also combines thought leadership articles from subject-matter experts and exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs. We hope this edition will provide you with the right assistance in choosing the best BIM service provider based on your requirements.Let us know your thoughts!Robert MathewsManaging Editoreditor@constructionbusinessreview.comFacilitating Seamless Collaboration through BIMEDITORIALCopyright © 2021 ValleyMedia, Inc.
