As BIM maturity increases, Level 3 BIM will become the accepted way of working, which will be supported by cross-platform, cross-manufacturer, cloud-based working via IFC formats. And as BIM becomes more widely adopted, its use will spread to other areas such as estimating, quantity surveying, CNC design and production, and facilities management, which are currently in the early stages of development and use.
