In the construction industry, “information overload” can be a significant problem to overcome. With a mass of information available to people up and down the workflow – from manpower to inventory to deliverables to even weather – impacting the project, a key bit of information can be overlooked or lost in a flood of data flowing back and forth among the job site, the specialty contractors, the general contractor, the office, the architect, and the engineers.
This makes it all the more critical to not only get access to information, but get access to the information you need when working on a project. The goal of a successful building information modeling (BIM) platform like Revit is to not just get you access to all the information available; it’s to get you the information you need to know when you need to know it and in a form that’s useful to you.
