This document provides an alternative view of the development of Building Information Management/Modelling (BIM) over time. It describes that early BIM development followed traditional, drawing-based methods and struggled to gain acceptance. As BIM failed to establish a full ecosystem, the construction industry's ability to manage project information declined. By the time BIM began to mature, the industry had shifted focus from quality to deals and risk levels had risen sharply. The document suggests that true BIM maturity is still dropping, meaning project risks continue to increase for all involved in architecture, engineering, and construction.
