A big advantage to using BIM models is the ability to work closer with the owner on design. With the owner involved in design, the amount of errors will be greatly reduced, and in turn will reduce design time and costs.
Using BIM models allows various contributors to the building design to work off of one model. Being able to see where different parts of a building are placed, such as structural members, allows others to either work around their placements or work with designer to come to a solution that everyone is happy with.
Using BIM models also allow the designer to run analyses during various stages of design. This is a huge advantage because it allows the designer to see how certain aspects of the building affect cost, energy consumption, etc.
Response to Kevin Saldivar: I agree that using BIM models will be great for owners because they can be more directly involved in the design process, which will help them develop a building exactly to their liking for a cheaper price tag.
Response to Anthony Yao: I think that the most beneficial aspect of BIM models is the ability to run various analyses in during different stages of design. However, this currently is difficult since a lot of BIM software files do not work well with other softwares. I feel like this is just a result of BIM being relatively new and will be resolved in the future.
