BIM for structural engineering has typically been hampered by various issues. The lack of an integrated yet flexible design solution for the entire project team leads to inefficient working methods and manual errors. Combined with the trend towards larger projects, greater detail and freeform shapes, it is clear that structural engineering workflows need to adapt to meet all these requirements.

Digital tools and processes play a vital role in enabling a smooth transition from building construction to operation, says David Philp, digital impact director at Construction Innovation Hub.
