The presentation will also focus on challenges and misconceptions about eBIM, as very detailed models can be difficult to use and expensive to produce. We conclude with recommendations to the industry around integrating various data sources rather than promoting one. Case studies from historical buildings and railway stations will be used to support the eBIM concepts.
