According to NBS, BIM is a process for creating and managing information on a construction project throughout its life cycle. As part of this process, a coordinated digital description of every aspect of the built asset is developed, using a set of appropriate technology. This digital description likely includes a combination of information-rich 3D models and associated structured data such as product, execution and handover information.

A lot of firms in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction sector approach BIM implementation as a necessity.

- A necessity to abide by government policies, if there are policies in place.

- A necessity to look good to clients and win new projects.

- A necessity to look good to the other stakeholders in the industry, etc.

- But how about the necessity to "remove tobacco products from their stores" for good, as is the case with leading firms in sister industries? 

- How expensive is BIM?

- What is the Price of not embracing BIM by a firm?

- What is the Opportunity Cost of BIM?
