Group D Advantages of Revit/BIM

The main advantages of using BIM/Revit Currently are:

1. Clash detection. This allows for multiple functions of the building to be seen together before construction to detect any physical construction issues before they occur. 
2. Simulation capabilities. The model is capable of running analysis of building operations and sustainability studies during the design phase. 
3. Factors in cost and time in a project
4. Edit parameters in instances
5. Excludes repetitive downfalls of CAD software when drafting
6. Multiple engineering disciplines coming together in one drawing, data complied in single place
7. the ability to place building on a map to view current site surroundings
8. Model can detect construction feasibility before the ground is broken
9. BIM360 allows for open sharing of models, not tied to a specific computer terminal. Saves all iterations of models, to allow for backup of work.
