This document discusses Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its potential to disrupt the construction industry. It provides an overview of BIM, including how it enables collaboration through a 3D model-based approach, its maturity levels around the world, and its perceived benefits such as improved coordination, reduced costs and errors. However, it also notes ongoing challenges to BIM adoption like procurement methods, skills availability and regulatory frameworks. The presentation concludes by inviting questions from the audience.

The Power of Visual Story-telling
He was challenged to use data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to help people realize how
much of their time was available to do what ever they wanted, their free time beyond “the
basics” of life.

Building Information Modelling (BIM)
What BIM isn’t:
It’s not just 3D CAD
It’s not just a new technology application
It’s not next generation, it here and now!
“Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a
collaborative way of working, underpinned by digital
technologies. These technologies allow for more
efficient methods of designing, delivering, and
maintaining physical built assets throughout their
entire lifecycle.”
