I agree with you that in the schematic and planning phases individual products are rarely known entities and hence property values associated with actual products are of limited use. However, once products are clearly defined and/or known, the link between BIM and specification becomes clearly important.

Without these there is no smart way the exchange informations or calculate costs. Product Properties are not useful in planing, as you are dealing with general requirements instead of defined products. In Europe it is even forbidden to name certain products. BIM is like the Jeopardy game show, but I don’t know what the answer (propertyvalue) is or should be, I can’t create the suitable question (quantity take off). That’s the challenge, not what software or file format (AutoDesk marketing) to use.
