Technical & Non-Technical Skills required to build a successful career in BIM Technology

The adoption of BIM in the AEC sector
The true adoption and value of BIM was initiated a decade ago in Finland, the US & UK
Looking at the potential value that BIM has to offer, other countries in Europe, and the Middle East followed in the same footsteps.

But, there were potential challenges in the adoption of BIM
▪ AEC companies and professionals could not understand the actual process
▪ The inability of enterprises, owners, and stakeholders to change building mindset
▪ Inability to understand long-term benefits
▪ Skill-set inadequacy
▪ Inadequate investment to adopt the BIM process through its process and technology
▪ Collaboration issues between various departments or trades

Today’s BIM Scenario
▪ In today’s AEC scenario, project stakeholders require precise deliverables, efficient buildings, and modern building processes
▪ BIM is much more than 3D visualization, it is a holistic process to create and manage a building project from design to sustainability, facility management, and more
▪ It uses the philosophy of measure twice and builds once
▪ BIM makes the entire design-build process collaboration easier between various stakeholders viz. Architects, Engineers, Contractors, and Building Owners
▪ Every company or owner adopts BIM at various levels, viz. BIM level 1, BIM level 2, or BIM level 3

BIM shows promising results for owners & stakeholders
▪ On a global level, more than 70% of AEC professionals like Architects, Engineers, GC’s, and building owners use BIM for their projects

▪ As per statistics by McGraw-Hill Construction, the projected growth of the BIM market by 2022 would be $7.6 billion

▪ BIM makes it easy for stakeholders to run complex workflows efficiently thereby reducing project time, waste, construction waste, and expanding possibilities

▪ This increases project Return-on-Investment (ROI) at every level of the project lifecycle
