I talked previously about the irony of CAD managers (preventing ‘Flatcad grow up and move on’) being put in charge to herald in the ‘new’ (BIM) approach; There is another paradox the industry can claim: Buildings get documented by building documenters. I’ll tell you about A3 based ‘picture book documenting’ tomorrow.

In 2018, Eoin Nield joined as the company’s first BIM Manager, with the remit of supporting the transition from traditional CAD design to integrated delivery methods. “My People would carry around huge rolls of drawings, which would be stored in site offices. Document controllers are not required to chase up actions.”.

Consider this: you are a confident consultant (architect, engineer) prepared to stand up publicly and say: “No, we do no BIM in our office and are proud of it! We produce documentation for our buildings ‘the good old way’ and use CAD where absolutely necessary and only to mimic the traditional processes.
