BIM opportunities

A variety of speakers – covering architectural practitioners, advisers, designers, academics, contractors (in UK and USA) and engineers, etc – answer a range of questions on BIM to explain the practical benefits of BIM and the future realities. This is a really useful intervention for those yet to take up on BIM as it points out the cost benefits and time-saving in clear details. For those interested in developing their extant use of BIM it explores the future technological potential.

Learning points:

An explanation of BIM
The commercial merits of BIM; its time-saving and collaborative benefits
Whether BIM software development is stable or is still in the developmental stage
How appropriate BIM is for retrofit
The future for BIM
Concerns about security of information flows.
