1. BUILDING MODELING VS. BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING
One of the main problems for BIM adoption is that it is usually centred on Building modelling, instead of Building Information Modelling. The goal of Building modelling is to deliver a 3D model to comply with whomever is forcing this into the construction process. The goal of BIM is to keep the information about every detail in the design and building process available with the project. This common distortion about what is BIM promotes that the actual engineer’s workload is multiplied instead of divided. It is a big request to ask an engineer to adopt a new workflow that might take him months to learn and that will probably multiply his tasks.

2. GENERAL TOOLS VS. SPECIALISED TOOLS
That brings us to the second challenge. When BIM is understood only as Building modelling, BIM tools are created for the modeler. The focus is not to empower the specialist who creates the data, but to empower the modeler who will upload that data. modelling itself becomes a very specialized task and that is a narrow bottleneck for BIM adoption. If we understand that BIM should be focused on the people who create and deliver the information, then the tools used by these specialists should be focused on their own tasks. And the tools themselves should be simple and should make their work simpler. BIM tools, instead of multiplying their tasks, should increase their productivity, making it easy for each engineer to deliver and correct their contribution during the building process. At the same time, these tools must make the 3D model itself easier and faster to build.

3. MULTIPLE WORKFLOWS VS. SEAMLESS WORKFLOW
When we talk about Real BIM adoption, the big change to be obtained is on the engineers’ actual workflow. In what we’ve mentioned as a distorted Building modelling workflow, each task is done separately and then sent to a single modeler. But on a Real BIM should be done in an Open BIM workflow, where all the involved specialists collaborate. This workflow should be open for all actors to collaborate in the Building Design and for each one of them to use the tools they want. Such a workflow avoids clashes and constant reworking, reduces projects delays to a minimum, improves building quality, increases profits, and mitigate risks. An Open BIM workflow keeps all disciplines In-Sync and On-Track. Using manual processes to keep disciplines in-sync and on-track leaves a lot of room for human error. A Common Data Environment, like BIM Server Center, enables users to easily track and record markups and issues with real-time feedback, allowing teams to understand their project’s status better. Teams can improve and maintain accountability and follow through on issues that pop up in design and coordination. To increase the productivity and obtain the benefits promised by the adoption of the BIM system it is paramount that engineers can collaborate with different tools and embrace the complexity of the building design world. CYPE is committed to promoting an Open BIM workflow, regardless of the tools an engineer decides to use. We are one of the founding members of Building SMART, an international organization which aims to improve the exchange of information between software applications used in the construction industry. And we pride ourselves for promoting this pragmatic and effective approach to construction design all over the world.

4. USEFUL FOR MODELERS VS. USEFUL FOR ENGINEERS
The final challenge that we can identify in multiple countries is that as BIM tools are focused on the modeler, often engineers do not obtain from these tools the necessary documents they need to deliver. Real BIM tools should provide full reports, including the equations used, detailed drawings as well as budgets and more. These “deliverables” must be useful, very complete and adapted to the local regulations and uses. When the BIM tools are not specialized and focused on the engineer's actual needs for his task, these deliverables are one of the missing points. Engineers are usually under pressure to add tools over tools just to obtain the necessary outputs they need to deliver. That makes the working process labour intensive, time consuming, expensive, and just plainly inefficient. On CYPE we are always focused on the results and the deliverables engineers need to present for each project. Our goal is to make the building design process very simple and efficient. And this is a key point for that.
