BIM and the libraries

(1/4) > >>

jonesy:
The company I work for are conducting some research regarding the use of BIM object libraries, could any of you please provide response to the following questions?

1.       Where do you source your BIM objects?
2.       What materials and products do these sources of BIM models focus on?
3.       What attribute information do you find useful when selecting products?
4.       Do you find that missing attribute information hinders your work?
5.       Would you find measures such as recycled content useful when selecting products?
6.       How closely linked are the use of products in models, to the item purchased and installed in the finished building?
7.       What are your general views regarding the future of BIM?
 
The answers to these questions will help the bosses here decide whether using BIM more will be more beneficial. 
 
Many thanks for your time.

Yes.

Personally; I'm nore than a little skeptical when it comes to BIM.
In the end, more materials will have some recycled content in them.
Does knowing this help maintain the building or lower construction or operating cost?
Probably not. 
Building a building well to begin with requiress higher cost in both materials and workmanship.
There simply is no way to build a quality long lasting structure cheaply.
Consider something like Stonehenge; I seriously doubt that thing was cheaply made.
