BIM provides architects the opportunity to pioneer new delivery processes, opening possibilities for resolving long standing issues mired in the past. On the Museum, we radically altered our approach to maintaining the design intent through digital prototyping, enhanced contract documents to a hybrid of 2D and 3D for a superior level of trade scope isolation and quantity take-offs. Results include lower construction costs in addition to the integration of design and construction into one process complete with an integral feedback loop.
