BIM coordination beat my old field layout method... found out why
I used to think my tape measure and string lines were just as good as any model, but after a clash detection demo at a job site in Austin last week, I saw 43 duct and pipe conflicts in a 60-foot corridor that we never would've caught. The contractor showed me how the software flags problems before anyone sets foot on site, and honestly the amount of rework we'd have faced would've killed our schedule. Has anyone else switched to full BIM coordination after being stubborn about old-school layout?
