• Design prototype (space arrangements, assemblies, materials)
• Allows model checkers to assist with quality control
• Analysis (space, lighting, energy, structural)
• Drawing production quality (flexible, exploits automation, better coordinated)
• Design exploration/interrogation (data rich visual models)
• Engineering accuracy (measurement, context)
• The data embodied within the building information model is rich and reliable which can be used for early tasks such as schematic space planning and master scheduling

Benefits of Owner

• Owners can create savings (5%-10%) on projects through the implementation of BIM and save total projects cost. BIM can save additional expenses in construction cost as well as operation costs.
• Visualizing helps the owner's groups see what they will be getting resulting in dealing with less change orders (building systems clash detection) during construction
• Get better design quality, better performing building (systems coordination, engineering analysis)
• Scheduling (4D) and costing (5D) are fully integrated with BIM model which will help owners for constructing more sound decisions based on multiple, accurate real-time information
• Schedule compression (digital assisted fabrication, offsite fab)

• Efficient handover (data exchange for operations/maintenance)

Benefits of Structural Designers

• Structural detailing drawings will be produced more quickly with BIM
• Through the process of BIM and integrated project delivery, structural designers can keep away from costly clashes to examine beams, pipes, HVAC and electrical systems before the commencement of the construction.
• BIM will help to optimize parameters of the structural model at par with the design rules
• More purified engineering design can be made on sound theory minimizing rough calculations.
• Integrated modeling, analysis and design can be achieved without splitting up the tasks
• BIM models can be exchanged easily among the architectural designer and HVAC designer which creates better cooperation.
• More attention to cost factors by studying alternative solutions on one model
• Better and optimized constructions can be get by the combination with CAE solutions.
• the designer will notice building footings placed by structural engineers to help maintain the structural integrity of the building

Benefits of Contractors

• Contractors can create accurate construction schedules and arrange necessary materials.
• Review construction plans and sequences
• Study yard operation and site logistics
• Prefabrication & assembly of materials in a controlled, factory environment which results higher quality at a lower cost.
• BIM offers a good cost estimation(quantity takeoff) throughout bidding and procurement
• Plan errors are set up once building the models which leads to smaller number of errors and omissions necessitating rectifications by the contractor – saving costs and resources
• BIM improves coordination in construction sequencing
• Effective marketing presentation of construction approaches
• BIM can check possible conflicts that may arise during building construction
• Enable GPS driven machine control equipment
• BIM allows for more “what if” scenarios, such as construction sequencing options, shuffling of human resources, fine-tuning cost factors, etc.
• BIM assists clients and end-users in realizing and visualizing the end product
• Shop drawing reduction (model to fabrication)
• Digital fabrication (steel, HVAC ducts, piping)
• Fewer callbacks and lower warranty costs

Benefits of Cost Engineers

• Cost engineers can utilizing more accurate quantities from a building information modeling source. They use the model’s visual feedback to determine whether you included everything in your cost plan.
• BIM facilitate informed decisions with regards to time and costs and the impact of each on a projects bottom line With VDC BIM offer the promise of substantial cost and time savings on developing projects
• BIM estimate the cost of the project throughout its development, and even estimate the cost of operating and maintaining the finished project over its lifetime.

Benefits to the Electrical Designer

• BIM provides power summary calculation and terminal level spatial drawing (from the sub distribution switchboard to the socket or the lights).
• With BIM Electrical designers can visualize the electrical switchboard in the technical room: footprint and door swing checking.
• BIM automatically incorporate electrical installation heating impact in HVAC sizing,
• performing the best trade-off between all the building elements (structural, electrical, mechanical) to save energy
• BIM automatically calculate the recyclability of the whole building including electrical part
• BIM can get better coordination of electrical systems and prevent conflicts with other systems similar to plumbing, structural elements and mechanical systems

Benefits to the Mechanical Designer

• BIM facilitates mechanical engineers with indefinite liberty to discover more design options, create better knowledgeable design decisions, and calculate costs and performance.
• Design and construction documents are mechanically synchronized, get rid of errors and omissions which results in creating better engineered buildings on time and on budget
• BIM generates true 3D prototypes of mechanical systems virtually and offers important business-critical benefits for mechanical engineering
• To make possible the rapid design and modeling of complex air handling and plumbing systems the widest variety of components, materials, and cross section are created and modified parametrically; dimension-driven
• BIM automates the sloping of entire piping systems
• BIM has the ability to design rapidly and model the most complex systems
• With BIM Mechanical designers can create accurate and coordinated 2D drawings from 3D models
• BIM facilitates Mechanical engineers for achieving significant time savings in the construction drawings phase
