Pros

Create 3D models using BIM to improve project visualisation and provide clients and stakeholders a better understanding of the design. By offering a centralised platform for information exchange, BIM makes it easier for multiple project stakeholders, such as architects, engineers, contractors, and clients, to collaborate. Enhanced Efficiency: By lowering mistakes, conflicts, and rework, BIM may expedite the design and construction process, resulting in increased efficiency and cost savings. BIM software aids in the early detection and resolution of conflicts or clashes between various building systems, including structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. Quantification and Cost Estimation: BIM models may help with precise quantity takeoffs and cost estimates, assisting with project budgeting and procurement procedures. BIM tools may be used to assess and improve a building's performance, including energy use, carbon footprint, and other factors.

Kontras

BIM tools and procedures may be complicated, and mastering their use sometimes involves a steep learning curve. BIM modelling depends significantly on certain software and technology, which may need constant upgrades as well as expenditures for resources and training. It can be difficult to manage vast volumes of data inside BIM models; this calls for efficient organisation and maintenance procedures. It may be difficult and time-consuming to integrate BIM models with other tools and systems utilised by various project stakeholders. Although BIM has made tremendous progress in the construction sector, its complete adoption may still be restricted in some projects and locations, which may have an influence on job possibilities.

Pros

Job and a paycheck but in a house of cards.

Kontras

Wow, be careful! Atkins North America was acquired when Atkins in London bought a notorious US engineering based in Florida, PBS&J (Post, Buckley, Shuh and Jernigan). I didn't do enough research when hired and found out too late I was working for a company that has been prosecuted multiple times for serious illegalities, and some of the executives who participated but escaped prosecution are still there! PBS&J has been indicted for bribing government officials, illegal campaign contributions, and was a private company put on the chopping blocks to sell for being so poorly managed when several of the employees embezzled millions upon millions of dollars. As recent as 2016 the company was struggling financially because of legal costs and fines to the extent the focus became finishing out existing contracts rather than procuring new ones...an indicator they do not want new business and are likely to chop off the US engineering wing and spin those employees out to another company. Do your research before accepting a job there, the good old boy network that didn't previously get caught or prosecuted in the illegalities is still working there, and they haven't changed much in being secretive about what they are doing!! Get everything in writing as they are all about the bait and switch.
