This proposition has driven our BIM adoption and implementation journey for the past two decades. Our journey has shown us the importance of data and information management and how a model-centric way of working can improve how we design, construct, and manage a built asset. This data includes: BIM and 3D models.

Discrepancies in construction delivery methods and contracts lead to the failure of BIM, or many/most facility renovation, repair projects. The business strategy leading to the integration of previously disparate competencies, business processes, technologies, and teams is the primary goal of a BIM execution plan.

For BIM to succeed will require a fundamental changes in how the AEC industry (architecture, engineering, construction) industry does business. In the interim, BIM will be relegated to 3d visualization and an organic growth output of 2D CAD, vs. the process of efficiently managing the built environment supported by digital technology.

Wall Floor Interaction and Linked Models. When we have architecture and structure in separate Revit models we end up with somewhat clumsy graphics in wall sections. This is more pronounced if the structural slab is in the structure model only. The issue is the same when interior walls are linked into a shell model.
