[5] KEY TAKEAWAYS | OUTCOMES & NEXT STEPS
LESSON LEARNED
• Ensure stakeholders understand the
value of BIM and digital environments
from the start
• Early planning of tasks and phase-specific
requirements is essential
• Providing shared resources and dashboards
accelerates workflows and monitoring
• Standardize processes wherever possible
without overcomplicating
BENEFITS ACHIEVED
• Time savings in production and consistency in
documentation
• Early detection of errors and support in
generating quality deliverables
• Improved communication between agents,
reducing issues
• Fast access to up-to-date information and
delivery of a valuable digital asset for
operations
FUTURE CHALLENGES
• Avoid BIM being perceived as merely a set
of deliverables
• Keep models up-to-date and periodically
coordinated despite software limitations
• Prevent information loss between native
and OpenBIM models
• Maintain detailed and up-to-date
construction schedules aligned with ongoing
works
Only through careful coordination can multiple projects coexist in harmony within the same
space and time, turning complexity into opportunity…
