Engineers can measure the value of trade-offs between the building elements (structural, electrical, mechanical), while also minimizing the conflicts between these elements resulting in energy savings. Engineering documents are mechanically synchronized, getting rid of errors and omissions, which results in better-engineered buildings delivered on time and on budget. 3D modeling speeds up the design stage, while still offering considerable advantages in accuracy and complexity. These models have the ability to easily design and manage complex air handling, electrical and plumbing systems, the widest variety of components and materials with an added ability to provide cross sectional diagrams, which are created and modified parametrically. 3D models can also be used to easily generate accurate and coordinated 2D versions.

BIM collaborates flawlessly across disciplinary borders in shared multi-disciplinary models. In short, Engineers benefit from using BIM through efficient processes, improved collaboration, more informed decisions, accelerated understanding of the building elements and improved data quality and data efficiency.
