The examples presented made it clear that the label &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/bim\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"14333\">BIM<\/a>&#8221; alone is no guarantee of success, and that a significant proportion of projects fail precisely because participants assume that everyone understands the same thing by it. <\/p>\n\n<p>One recurring theme of the presentation was that <strong>practice regularly overrides preliminary plans<\/strong> \u2013 Csaba Livj\u00e1k illustrated this with Mike Tyson&#8217;s oft-quoted phrase: &#8220;<em>Everyone has a plan&#8230; until they get punched in the face.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good intentions, differing interests<\/h3>\n\n<p>The analysis presented also highlighted why BIM projects, often launched with good intentions, frequently fail. Company managers, project managers, and engineering teams <strong>understandably have different focuses<\/strong>, which can easily lead to conflict without coordination and conscious integration. <\/p>\n\n<p>In this context, the Dunning\u2013Kruger effect was also mentioned: when participants overestimate their own BIM maturity, while the complexity of the project would require much greater awareness and experience.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The role of the BIM integrator<\/h3>\n\n<p>One of the key messages of the presentation was to clarify the role of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/buildext.com\/en\/bim-system-integrator\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"17057\">BIM integrator<\/a><\/strong>.
