Why is it important?
- OPEN BIM supports a transparent, open workflow, allowing project members to participate regardless of the software tools they use.
- OPEN BIM creates a common language for widely referenced processes, allowing industry and government to procure projects with transparent commercial engagement, comparable service evaluation and assured data quality.
- OPEN BIM provides enduring project data for use throughout the asset life--cycle, avoiding multiple input of the same data and consequential errors.
- Small and large (platform) software vendors can participate and compete on system independent, 'best of breed' solutions.
- OPEN BIM energizes the online product supply side with more exact user demand searches and delivers the product data directly into the BIM.
