Every BIM quality metric starts with a real project decision

In 2025, professionals around the world used Solibri to turn model quality into measurable impact – long before construction began.

Behind that impact are teams, workflows, and everyday project decisions. Now we want to hear your story – and the impact you and your team helped create.

At the end of 2025, we shared a global look back at BIM quality. Across projects worldwide, teams used Solibri to check models at scale, review 53 billion components, and resolve issues long before they reached the construction site.

That work helped prevent rework, reduce coordination friction, and create confidence in model data. On their own, these are impressive numbers. Their real value lies in what they prevented.

Every issue caught early is a coordination problem not raised on site. Every unvalidated component is a potential clash, clearance, or data issue unsolved before it becomes rework. Every hour spent validating models upstream protects days—or weeks—of downstream effort.

At a global scale, this collective focus on quality helped:

  • Reduce costly rework before construction
  • Limit schedule delays caused by late design conflicts
  • Support safer, more predictable, and more sustainable project delivery

Meaning behind the numbers

When you look at a “Year in BIM Quality” metrics, it’s easy to focus on scale: counts, percentages, trends. In practice, those numbers represent very concrete outcomes on real projects.

Rework remains one of the largest cost drivers in construction. Hidden coordination issues, misaligned models, and unclear responsibilities often surface late—when fixes are most expensive. The same applies to communication. Misunderstandings between disciplines, unclear model data, or inconsistent validation rarely appear as individual cost items. But when accumulated across projects, they represent billions in hidden costs for the industry.

What Solibri users did differently in 2025 was address these risks where they are cheapest to resolve: in the model.

  • Issues were identified while they were still digital, not physical
  • Coordination conversations happened earlier, with shared context
  • Workflows became more repeatable, automated, and predictable

At scale, those decisions add up to significant savings in time, cost, and risk. On project level, they change how teams work every day.

Customer stories

Where quality turns into savings

Behind the global metrics are projects where BIM quality translated into tangible results. Across customer stories, the same patterns appear again and again:

  • Rework reduced by catching issues early
  • Hidden costs avoided through better alignment and communication
  • Time saved via clearer workflows and automated checks
  • Confidence gained in model data before decisions are locked in

Why stories matter and how participation works

Every Solibri project contributes to the industry-wide impact reflected in the 2025 numbers – but each project contributes in its own way. These improvements don't always show up as a single line item. But across projects, regions, and disciplines, they add up to meaningful impact for the industry as a whole.

In 2025, BIM teams around the world showed what happens when quality becomes part of everyday work—not just a final check.

Together, those daily decisions created measurable impact across the industry. In 2026, we're continuing that conversation by capturing the stories behind those numbers. If Solibri supports your team in protecting time, cost, or confidence through model quality, we'd value your perspective.
