BIM Handover Failures: Why 95% of Construction Data Never Reaches Operations
Handover is supposed to be the moment a project comes together. Instead, industry research finds that up to 95% of construction data never reaches operations. Architects lose visibility into how their design intent was executed.
Contractors work from specs that no longer reflect the latest changes. Facility managers inherit buildings with incomplete, outdated, or missing documentation.
The root cause is almost never a shortage of information. It is the inability to keep that information current, connected, and accessible to everyone who needs it.
Here is a closer look at why BIM coordination breaks down at handover and what the best project teams do to prevent it.
