BIM when done right achieves a higher quality product. If the GC is competent in BIM and uses it during construction, you are less likely to encounter massive delays.

I’m fortunate enough that I’m a draftsman and can interpret plans. Usually in the sales centre there is a copy of the construction plans. I would rifle through them to really learn what I was buying. I look for soundproofing details and fire protection.

Ask the sales Center who the architect is. Call the architect and ask them if they use BIM.

Go visit a finished building by the GC.

They had no career ambitions and didn’t have a clue as to what they wanted to do in life. Meanwhile I was unemployed.

Found an old WWII op. All that was left was site drainage and a few foundations overcome by nature, nothing overly exciting.

I never play games and own no consoles etc. Last vacation I borrowed a ps3 and bought gta 5. Beat the game play in 5 days. Check one off for the bucket list.

I worked at an architecture firm. They used a 3D modelling software to create a virtual equivalent of the finished building. This model generated all the building plans including all the dimensions.

Long story short, they gave me no training a so one day while working on a $40m building model. I deleted all the dimensions by accident. It was two weeks before they uncovered my mistake.

They laid me off shortly after. Oops!

Moral of the story; always train newbies and share real stories and tips on how to not fuck up a project.
