My mother has been a solid supporter of my BIM journey over the last 3 decades. She has no idea what the ‘BIM’ acronym stands for exactly, but is closely associating it with all my professional ups and downs. I ‘drew’ the first axo chair in AutoCAD 25 years ago and showed it to her. I taught how to BIM globally 10 years ago.
