MODEL BEHAVIOUR When Building Information Management entered the construction industry it was heralded as the lead of the digital revolution. Douglas Masterson investigates progress and how BIM is changing the AI industry.
A
s part of a series of webinars being prepared for the IAI throughout lockdown, one of the topics I chose to look at was Building Information Management or ‘BIM’. I had last presented a seminar on this to our membership in 2015 and I thought it worthwhile to look at what has changed in the hardware industry over the past five years. What I found did surprise me, I noted that there has indeed been change, both in attitudes as well as what is available in respect of BIM in our industry. This article will detail what BIM is as well as outlining how things have moved on in the past five years in our industry.
