They manage a project as if it is a drafted production and then attempt to BIM it up upon turning the model over to the contractor. It's a ramification of that panic moment we described earlier. If the firm is transitioning to Revit, retro-BIMming takes the form of mixing 2D drafting with 3D modeling in an ineffective manner so that 3D coordination happens only during preconstruction. It's a failsafe way to blow budgets and lose money on a project.
