I have not seen anything recent.... GS has all kinds of percentage numbers on their website, but they are not very well documented with where they came from.

.... except that they do not give you any basis in reality for where those numbers come from... They just seem to assume that you are automatically 40% more efficient.

I think Rakela wanted something a little more concrete.

is it worth contacting lachmi khemlani at AECBytes to see if any of her research has thrown anything up along those lines?

Please let us know how you get on Rakela. I'd also be interested to know just how many people are using ArchiCAD or BIM in general.

Cheers,

I recently found an article that may be related, although it is about one year old. It also has some figures in it:
