This will help the city easily plan utilities and infrastructure upgrades compared to the 2D drawings. On the other hand, Nagpur Metro Rail project adopted 5D BIM technology to successfully complete the project. BIM is a growing phase in the world of architecture and planning. According to a survey, the global BIM market size will reach $4210 million by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 16.2 percent. Despite benefits akin to optimized project performance, increased productivity, enhanced communication and coordination, cost saving and many more, BIM is witnessing a slow acceptance in India due to the high cost of software, long training period and majorly due to the fact that these software are designed for the western world, that does not fit the India perspective. The country also struggles with lack of information and awareness about BIM, but with companies developing India-centric BIM products and their effort to train the workforce here, the industry will pick pace soon. When India has huge investments to make in upping its infrastructure, it is time we realize the benefits BIM brings to the table and move beyond implementing it at the design level only. Helping the AEC industry go beyond this and reap the utmost benefit of customized BIM solutions is our current issue of siliconindia Magazine's `10 Most Promising BIM Services Providers ­ 2019', featuring some of the best BIM services and solutions providers, who not just provide solutions, but rigorously train customers to enable them leverage its entire feature of their offerings.
