BIM has evolved with pros and cons, providing a single digital visualization of project models for all stakeholders over a project life cycle, focusing on the 3D model for structure, electrical and mechanical system, with based scheduling 4D model, a 5D model based cost estimation, 6D sustainability and 7D facility management.

Advantages
Its efficiency in cost management, project planning, robust data enrichment and data collection, accelerates project completion through information sharing among stakeholders for early decision-making, integrates energy analysis, and provides an effective collaboration platform for stakeholders through the cloud, eliminating clashes between the designer and contractor industry,

Disadvantages
lack of standardization, skilled personnel and interoperability including contractual and legal risk.

What is your opinion towards BIM's capability in future to provide a systematic tool for project management from the initiation stage through planning, execution and monitoring to the closure stages?

What is the rate of global adoption of BIM implementation in project management visa vie your company?

What is the rate of BIM skilled labour development globally and in your organization as well?

If you have more please share...

There are several tools and implementations for BIM in construction today. BIM is enshrined in several national laws and regulations e.g. for Singapore, Germany, Russia or UK. While BIM was invented in UK 40 years ago, today Russia is deemed to be leading with BIM usage.

And BIM is also standardized by ISO: https://www.iso.org/standard/75403.html

It is a concept that envisions a digital twin, for better planning, simulation, building, testing, maintaining and decommissioning physical objects.

As such, knowledge about BIM will become relevant for any project manager in a digitalized world. It is not just another tool.
