THINGS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING YOUR BIM PARTNER
1.Check the BIM company’s experience
With so many companies presenting themselves as leading BIM service providers, it is necessary to check their credentials. It is equally important that the outsourcing company’s project execution methodology is aligned to yours.
2.Reference check: Past and current clients are a good source of references.
Check the facts and raise the question of work quality, and how knowledgeable and how responsive the provider is.
3.Don’t confuse “low hourly rate” with your real cost, it’s not always the best deal.
A legit company will always quote a price commensurate with the effort. Beware when companies offer lower costs because it may also means lack expertise or professional skill required to create BIM models
4.Accessibility is critical: Stay away from undedicated BIM workers
Without a proper work environment and without the latest equipment, software or technology, it may be difficult to work on BIM complex projects.
5.A partner with several BIM resources.
Adopting automation and keeping up to date with the latest technology is ideal to gain a competitive edge in the market, make sure your partner has the resources.
