Creating a BIM model for your company is not a simple task. It takes a team of professionals to ensure that the project is created in standard formate with all terms and conditions by refreing all supporting documents and work is completed smoothly. Because either serves as the face of your brand or business, it is critical that you get them right by hiring the right experts to work on them.

There are two approaches you can take: build an in-house development team or hire dedicated resources as an external team.

An in-house development team is simply a group of BIM Team members who work full-time for your company.

A dedicated resource (or resources, as the case may be) is a team of professional engineers who work as full-time BIM Team employees on your project.

Consider it like hiring a freelancer, but instead of just one person, it's a team of experts who will oversee the development of your BIM Project.

The 'dedicated' part comes in because, generally, those BIM team members will not work on any other client's project during the course of your project.

Their entire attention, effort, and time will be devoted to your project.

As a result, you will always have access to these resources for any requirements your project may require.

Which should you pick?

An in-house team is only appropriate when you have a large number of large, intensive projects and a large budget.

Dedicated resources are ideal when you only have a few projects that need to be developed in-house and don't have a large (but not necessarily limited) budget.

Hiring dedicated resources is thought to be the better option because it reduces costs and allows for a faster turnaround time.

How? Let’s take a look:

Reduced costs:

Research suggests that when you hire dedicated External BIM team, you can save as much as 40% on your project costs.
This is because an in-house development team means that they are your full-time employees with regular salaries and perks.
A dedicated BIM Team, on the other hand, will work pretty much as a freelancer, in that, you have to only pay for their services.
As we said above, development requires people with different types of expertise.
To hire experts in different fields as full-time employees, you should have the kind of work volume that will justify such an investment.
It also takes much more effort to recruit such a team.
When you hire dedicated BIM team as external resources, you will get a mix of experts that you need, all in one place.
You only need to pay for the work done by the team as a whole and will be assigned resources on the basis of your needs.
Another important factor that contributes to reducing costs when you hire dedicated BIM Team as an external resource is that you don’t have to pay to buy additional hardware or software or provide any training for development purposes, as they will already be available with the development agency or firm for your dedicated resources to use.
Fast turnaround time:
When you hire dedicated BIM team as your external resource, they will be able to divide the project into smaller tasks and have multiple teams working on the same project.
Work can also be done simultaneously on both your project, with specialized experts working on the front end and back end at the same time.
This is how deployment times are speed up when you hire dedicated external BIM team developers.
The project manager will keep you informed with regular updates and you can also expect iterations in a timely manner.
As time and money are always important considerations for any business, the dedicated resource model is often preferred.
It gives you the control and reliability that you would get from having an in-house team but with lower expenses and quicker results.
