Although the range and scope of construction technology extend far into the future, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one of the few solutions that have been genuinely at the forefront of the industry's digitization since its inception. A transformative resource, BIM services bring a total transformation to any construction project by assisting it in moving from the mere design phase to virtual reality.
Before the pandemic, only around half of all construction companies used BIM. But post the pandemic, as it became difficult to recruit trained workers, leading to increased rework and stretching of the budgets of numerous construction companies, BIM became the game-changer by helping the AEC industry move beyond these challenges. Today, engineers, architects, and project managers leverage BIM as construction-specific software to develop and design sophisticated buildings. According to Alliance Market Research, the use of BIM Modeling Services in the United States is predicted to expand by 21.6 percent each year from 2016 to 2022.
Even though BIM has already made its mark in the construction industry with several features, more is on the way. Here are some BIM trends and updates to keep track of for 2022 and beyond.
