BIM is the current industry standard but will encounter folks/contractors at different stages BIM meme • J-curve: Takes time to see benefits across an organization • Contractor reluctance to SI standards different from company flow for A/Es • Out of comfort zone, habit changes = extra time = extra cost • They have software, young hires in last 5-8 years that’s all they know how to do • Where it may be going and why • Future software
BIM is the whole process Building Information Modeling, aka BIM: • It’s a process, not a technology or software. • A digital representation of both the physical and functional characteristics of a facility.
