This document discusses what clients want from manufacturers regarding building information modeling (BIM). It notes that the UK government aims to reduce project costs by 20% through strategies like BIM, early contractor involvement, and improved client leadership. BIM can help drive down whole-life cycle costs by 30% and deliver projects 50% faster by facilitating collaboration and data sharing between stakeholders. Clients want a BIM-capable supply chain that can work with them through all stages from project inception to facility management. If implemented properly, BIM provides a means to achieve better time, cost, and quality outcomes across a building's lifespan.
