Bullied by BIM? Fight back! Go paperfree!

DebunkTheBIM

Despite BIM having been around for 3+ decades, it is by no means embraced by the global AEC. Most of the industry is uneasy about the BIM thing, yet there is rarely meaningful discussion about it.

BIM is dead, please do not resuscitate!

DebunkTheBIM

If there are similar rules for establishing viable crops of BIM around the global AEC industry, they’re better be longer than 30 years. Even a decade or so ago, I could see that BIM was nothing like an emerging success story. May I call them BIM-doom-deniers?

DebunkTheBIM

Sometimes, I find that the most useless word, when discussing BIM implementation strategies, is the word ‘useful’. People tend to over use it to justify ‘playing with BIM’. A small percentage of people on projects do activities that can be loosely called BIM and loosely qualified as ‘useful’. And the sky is blue.
