Trimble / Avoid the Hidden Dangers of Inaccurate & Incomplete Project Information / 03
From new construction projects to renovations, you need to be aware of the
dangers you may encounter to prepare for what's ahead. Whether you're a
general contractor or a specialty subcontractor, you'll want to steer clear of
these risks.
New Construction
When embarking on a new construction project, you need accurate and complete data about site
conditions. This data is critical to the design process since the models that will be used to guide
construction are ultimately only as good as the data they're built upon.
Your ability to produce constructible models helps you successfully plan, coordinate, schedule, and
budget the work required. Without them, you're more likely to experience miscommunications,
delays, and other risks along the way. You're also at greater risk of design clashes, which if not
caught early in the process, can lead to costly rework, RFIs, and change orders.
Be Aware of Potential Dangers
That Lie Ahead
When you lack complete and accurate project data to create constructible
models, you may be at risk of threats to your schedule and budget like:
Inaccurate or incomplete designs
Greater potential for clashes
Increased rework, RFIs, and change orders

what are constructible models?
Constructible models contain the data and accuracy needed for actual construction. When your
models are constructible, you can increase efficiency and productivity by:
• Planning with more predictability
• Streamlining workflows
• Improving collaboration
• Taking greater advantage of prefabrication, off-site fabrication, and other time and
cost-saving measures
