	In the UK the Government Construction Strategy published in May 2011, states that the '...Government will require fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016'. This represents a minimum requirement for Level 2 BIM on centrally-procured public projects.

−	BIM allows buildings to be designed collaboratively and tested virtually, before they are built and operated for real. This should reduce the problems that are encountered in construction and occupation. It should also give the entire project team access to better, more comprehensive and more co-ordinated information, reducing significantly the need for ~~RFI's~~ (requests for information) and the duplication of information. BIM also automates low value activities (such as producing or revising production information) allowing expensive staff to focus on higher value activities.	+	BIM allows buildings to be designed collaboratively and tested virtually, before they are built and operated for real.
