| In a 2009 publication entitled “The Business Value of BIM,” McGraw-Hill Construction reported that “almost half of the industry is now using BIM.” Logically then, at that time anyway, more than half the AEC industry was not using BIM.
This begs a number of questions: If building information modeling (BIM) is such a game changer for the AEC industry, as its advocates claim it is, why aren’t more firms using it? Why isn’t everyone using it? Simply put, why is the “BIM Revolution” taking so long to win? These questions are at the heart of PSMJ’s AEC Issue Brief: Resolving the Building Information Modeling Dilemma. Yes, BIM is revolutionizing the industry, and will continue to do so, at least until something even more revolutionary comes along. And someday soon, every AEC firm will need to have at least a reasonable understanding of BIM, if not a proven ability to work within the BIM process.
PSMJ’s AEC Issue Brief: Resolving the BIM Dilemma examines the challenges currently faced by BIM users, and poses suggestions and solutions that could help resolve the issues currently delaying and derailing the industry’s acceptance of BIM. PSMJ’s AEC Issue Brief: Resolving the BIM Dilemma offers readers a unique forum from which to view their firm’s relationship with BIM. Through exhaustive research, probing interviews and candid anecdotes from across the industry, this Issue Brief provides a foundation that management and technology leaders can use as a guide for critical decision-making and strategic planning as BIM grows in prominence.
AEC firms must become educated about BIM or get schooled by their competition. PSMJ’s AEC Issue Brief: Building Information Modeling is a short, easy-to-understand and affordable place to start. Available now. Order your copy today!
