What is BIM and How Is It Changing the World of CRE?   Building information modeling has the potential to revolutionize commercial real estate construction. The construction industry has been slow to evolve, especially in the realm of commercial real estate (CRE). In many ways, the construction process is not dissimilar from how it was when the first skyscrapers were built. However, as technology begins to change various parts of the industry, especially how all stakeholders communicate, building information modeling (BIM) is playing a larger role. What is BIM?
