Building information modeling (BIM) is set to change all that, its revolutionary goal since the 1970s when it was first proposed. In the last 30 years since the construction industry has widely agreed upon this approach, BIM has gone from a novel concept to a project essential. . REGISTER NOW. BIM in Real Life .
