Infrastructure Report: Building information modeling

Building information modeling, or BIM, is sharply reducing the design time, construction costs and budget overruns on infrastructure projects — as well as construction projects in general. It also brings a higher degree of precision to design and construction. Future iterations of BIM will bring even more benefits to civil engineering and construction. For more on this topic we turn to Terry Bennett, the senior industry strategist for civil infrastructure at Autodesk. (07/2016)
