BIM Wizard - Section 1: Evaluating Features of BIM

This section is used to evaluate the relative important of features offered by BIM solutions.

For each criterion in each set, please indicate the degree to which it is important to you and your firm by rating it on a 5 point scale, where 5 indicates "extremely important" and 1 indicates "relatively less important". Please be as judicious as possible in using the top ratings, reserving it for only those aspects that are critical to you.
