Why BIM saves money on Nigerian sites

Clashes found in a model cost almost nothing. Clashes found on site cost weeks.

Every project has clashes: a duct that meets a beam, a pipe that crosses a door. The question is only where you find them.

A coordinated BIM model lets the architect, engineers and contractor see the same building before anything is ordered. Problems are fixed on screen, not with a hammer.

On the projects we coordinate, most clashes are resolved before tender, which means fewer variations and a programme that holds.
