The State of BIM in the Construction Industry

Building information modeling (BIM) has helped design and construction teams tremendously in the last 20 years. BIM helps enhance preconstruction project visualization, identifies class detection, and improves cost estimates, and more. As each year passes, more uses are being found for BIM. Overall, BIM is a communication tool.
Here is the current state of BIM in the construction industry:
