Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the transition of the building industry to 3D information modeling to enhance design quality and performance. However, many organizations face challenges in achieving the expected return on investment (ROI) due to technical limitations and workflow restrictions imposed by existing software tools.
Barriers to Information Modeling ROI
  • Inefficient collaboration and unreliable deliverables increase the risk of miscommunication.
  • High costs arise from hardware requirements and long-term training.
  • Design environments are restrictive, limiting project scale and complexity.
  • Errors increase due to manual data re-entry and lack of data integration.
  • Disjointed workflows hinder collaboration among geographically distributed teams.
