Properly qualifying a trade partner’s BIM team is one of the most critical steps in ensuring the success of a construction project. For general contractors, this process goes beyond simply finding a service provider—it’s about safeguarding the project timeline, budget, and quality. When a BIM provider is not adequately vetted, the risks can quickly snowball into issues that are challenging, if not impossible, to unwind later.

In the fast-evolving world of Building Information Modeling (BIM), efficiency and accuracy are paramount. Yet, one practice that should rarely be entertained is reusing an engineer's model for coordination and producing shop drawings. While it might appear to save time or resources, this approach introduces significant risks that can compromise the constructability and success of your project.
