Forget crappy maths puzzles on LinkedIn or Facebook, the real challenge is how to make BIM work for you. I hope some of the posts on this blog help.

BIM & Infrastructure
There is quite a lot of interest in ‘BIM for Infrastructure’ at the moment. However, much infrastructure design is quite different to ‘traditional’ BIM. This post examines the use of BIM in infrastructure.
BIM: Another construction headache ?
Construction has become an increasingly bureaucratic and slow moving business. This is coupled with a deep conservatism and a distrust of technology. Many view BIM as just another headache that did not exist even 10 years ago. This post examines this perception.

BIM Analytics: next revolution in Design & Construction ?
Beyond questionable benefits such as clash detection and vague purposes such as’nD’, analytics of BIM data could revolutionise the way we design & construct. This post examines the possible development of this aspect of BIM.
