In recent years, the function of general contractors are simplified to larger extent, goes all the credit to Building Information Modelling . Most of the tasks done by general contractors and Sub-contractors have its perfect solution/aids in BIM provided some leading service provider for instance, Autodesk Navisworks, Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD and Autodesk Building Design Suite (BDS) to name the few. 3D, 4D and 5D BIM are useful for general contractors. At 3D BIM, the clear and accurate visual 3 dimensional images simplified the work and avoid the reworking which happens due to clash detection. Contrary to that, 4D Building Information Modeling deals with on-site construction activities leads to keep the contractors updated about the day to day action of practical work while the 5D Building Information Modeling (probably the most beneficial) manages the financial aspect of construction project to avoid the unnecessary wastage of money.
