The benefits of building information modeling for investors, owners, and operators

The way a building is designed and constructed directly impacts the costs to operate and maintain that building over its entire life cycle. Therefore, real estate investors and building owners have a big financial and operational stake in how these processes are done. In that respect, building information modeling is something you need to know […]
