The AEC sector is a notoriously complex, chaotic and inefficient one with a myriad of participants so it is understandable there is both a lot of optimism and angst out there. Since we have been involved in this field for some time – through daily implementation with clients, regular involvement in various discussions exposing a multitude of views and generally keeping abreast of developments at local and international levels – we thought it time to contribute a little more openly by providing our independent critical take on BIM and related topics.
As there is clearly far too much to discuss in a single post we think the following talking points can act as a framework for clarity of further discussion:
BIM .. is a process
Process Implications .. exist if the industry is going to really benefit
Technology .. is becoming increasingly critical to the delivery process
Legal Issues .. are uncertain and an obstacle to process change
so until next time ..
