As someone that had weathered one or two of those storms in my professional lifetime, where some blizzards I escaped only by a narrow margin, as well a BIM enthusiast – I take a special interest in observing how well various BIM initiatives do, when the dial of the industry heads South, as it seems to be doing now, again.

How much does it cost to be a platinum sponsor for the next HK Institute of Building BIM Conference? Can’t do real BIM? BIMES are in Dubai, let’s move back to Hong Kong; (that is, move the story back) How did Mr Derek So, the self-crowned BIM expert and director of Gammon, justify this platinum sponsor expense to his board ?

Recently, on a well-attended BIM group’s discussion site, I re-floated my view that the UK Government has little idea on what BIM really is, or should be like.

Giving credence to these claims is that almost all businesses – a full 96% – reported that previous digitisation efforts had boosted their business.

Should a client have the right to choose one over the other without wanting to pay for a full blown BIM?

This statement and accompanying question originates from my observation that the majority of authors writing/talking on BIM these days spend very little time/effort in presenting robust evidence on the results of BIM , rather, they tend to jump into the ‘thick of it’, focusing on the ‘how-s’ and ‘what-with-s’. No, BIM: works.

Project delivery methods must therefore be a component of BIM, a fact many/most 3D visualization software vendors appear to have ignored.
