Critical Success Factors – Designing in BIM
• Proper prior planning
• Getting everyone involved with Design process to buy in
• Common understanding and belief in desired outcomes
• Early engagement of supply chain designers does work
• Robust processes
• Right tools for the job
• But understand that BIM is not a set of tools
• It is about using tools collaboratively to exchange information
• Learning from mistakes and sharing the learning
• Many of benefits of BIM depend on accurate 3D modelling
• This is not easy and should not be undervalued
