Improve Your BIM Library With UNIFI’s Content Audit

BIM has become an essential part of the AECO industry over the last several years; so much so that many even consider it is one of the greatest technological advancements in the industry today. A foundational component of BIM is the content that comprises 3D models. BIM content includes everything from the assets that make up the appearance of the building to the technical aspects beneath the surface of your design. Top-quality BIM content has accurate data, is easy to use, is compact in size, and ultimately increases the velocity of any project delivery. Overall, the list of benefits of solid BIM content are endless and foundational to any quality BIM project.
