When you see a Building Information Model (BIM), it’s easy to think of it as just a fancy 3D picture of a building. But the real power isn’t in the picture; it’s in the information. A foundational concept of BIM is that it is not the 3D model. The 3D model you see is just one visual report that the computer generates by reading a smart database. This database is the single source of truth. The 3D view, 2D floor plans, sections, and cost schedules are all just different interpretations of that same central data. In this database, the computer …

Ever wonder how massive projects like highways, hospitals, or even universities actually happen? It’s all thanks to a process called procurement. In essence, it’s the strategic framework public and private organizations use to acquire a complex project like roads, airports and buildings. No single company has all the skills for such large projects. So, the client’s main strategy is to create a special team, often called a “Temporary Multi-Organization” (TMO). The client carefully selects different specialized companies—like architects for design, engineers for technical solutions, and contractors for the actual building work. These separate organizations come together to form a single, …
