Think of this as a super-detailed 3D digital twin of a building that lets architects ‘test drive’ their design before it’s built—seeing how it will look, how daylight moves through it, and how much energy it will use, all on screen.
Reduces design rework and costly construction changes by letting architects and engineers visualize buildings in 3D, simulate performance (especially energy use and daylight), and coordinate disciplines early in the design process instead of discovering problems on-site.
Integration of BIM into the full architectural workflow (from concept to documentation), proprietary project templates and content libraries, and accumulated firm-specific know-how on standards, families, and simulation best practices make the approach hard to replicate quickly.

Model size and complexity of BIM files can cause performance issues on large projects (rendering time, file coordination, and compute needed for energy simulations).
Early Majority
Uses Building Information Modeling not just for 3D drawing, but as a central data model to drive visualization, clash detection, and energy/performance simulations, enabling decisions based on measurable outcomes rather than just aesthetics.
