BIM vs Conventional

[Rakela Raul]

where can i find a study (with hard numbers) that shows the advantages,
money wise from using AC or any BIM software.

thx in advance to all

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.

yes, im working on it....but i need as much info as i can get..

im sure somebody already did this..and this is not a 'company thing' much more global than that

[TomWaltz]

.... 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,
