2012

NOVAPOINT ANVÄNDARTRÄFF 2014 │Göteborg 23-24 oktober

Disciplines were collaborating

but sequentially

Building combined 3D model =

very time consuming and

already out-of-date once

produced

Project’s info still in multiple

files and formats

Why BIM?

Data loss & risk of

exchanging wrong
