	Interaction among all stakeholders and integration of information throughout the project life cycle is fundamental to achieve a successful project. Building information modelling (BIM) is a method of [[Communication in Project Management]] enabling continuous information flow to translate the owner’s value preposition into a successful project. The interaction is more flexible and shared transparently between the different users. More specific the article will go through how BIM enables the execution of the construction phase.

			==Conclusion==

			The construction site is a very dynamic place to be. New processes and tools such as BIM and Revit are making big strides in how the process occurs for the first conceptual thought and continuing through the lifespan of the building. It is important to remember that BIM does not solve all construction coordination issues; however, people, collaborative teamwork and the advantages of BIM help us create an open and transparent process for team members to design and build successful projects.

			BIM and informations flows in general are evolving subjects. Changes are happening every day, making BIM more and more useful. At this point BIM is the most effective information flow, and will develop a lot over the next years.

Limitations

	==Limitations==		==Limitations==
			A big limitation to BIM is during the implementation, concerning competence and initial cost of software. But as this article is more concerning the construction phase, the implementation is considered done. As BIM have a high range of operation systems requirements, it has an extensive initiative cost. For large firm the later saving are so large that it is no issue. For smaller form this might be a large decision. <ref name="Winch"> </ref>. However BIM require a great degree of standardization within national borders and international. Internationally efforts of standards for information exchange take place through IAI / IFC, buildingSmart, but it still causes problems to some extent. Many of the problems occur when projects are crossing borders, as it is missing a international standardisation. <ref name="Winch"> </ref>.

Many~~ of ~~the problems occur when projects are crossing borders~~, ~~there~~ is ~~not a international standardisation yet. <ref name="Winch"> </ref>~~.		A large limitation is relates to the level of BIM experience and expertise of the different participant and stakeholders. Having gaps in the experience level of the different BIM users, will create issues in the effective communications between the project participants and stakeholders. Also in managing to make the models in the best and most efficient way require some experience, that will take some time and resources to achieve. The construction industry is to a large extent based on a certain way of doing everything, motivation of learning new things is therefore fundamental for using BIM.

Some BIM models, such as AutoDESK Revit, have issues concerning interoperability; the tension between proprietary and open systems inherent in CAD is being reconstituted in BIM. Interfaces with other information systems in construction – notably geographical information systems (GIS) and enterprise resource management systems (ERMS) remain rudimentary.<ref name="Winch"> </ref>.

	The Construction Manager and field supervisor will work with the design team to make sure that the design intent is followed, and they will run their own Clash Detections on all models. There are several programs to execute the clash detection, but some common programs are Solibri and Vico. With monitoring and workflow tools, identified problems can be reported and tracked through resolution. Construction can be simulated to make sure everything is being built on time by using methods of [[4D-Planning in Construction Management]]. It's essential for the viability and success of any construction project to control that the real construction cost adjust to the planned budget. BIM technology allows this control from the beginning to the end, facilitating automatic quantity reports and valuation in any phase of execution works. It also allows a more precise valuation of costs for construction processes, which can be studied and programmed in a real-time 3D environment. Sigma offers a cost estimate for both materials and the work that need to be done with every component.
