BIM Information Management
Did you know that the global construction industry suffers a mammoth loss of $1.2 trillion every year due to low productivity? And one of the key factors to this low productivity is poor information management. Another similar study by Construction Industry Institute proved that rework accounts for 30-40% of all construction costs, a significant portion of which is caused by information mismanagement or bad BIM execution plans.
This is where DDC Solutions steps in. With our bespoke information management service, we take charge of managing, maintaining, and sharing project information seamlessly throughout the entire project life cycle, all while adhering to the latest industry standards, including ISO 19650.
