We started to begin the transition earlier this year, but found that the systems just have not developed to the point yet where its worth changing the way we do everything here at the office. The other issue with BIM is that everyone working on a project must know much more about construction. Architectural interns will be able to do much less, initially, and general purpose CAD draftspersons will be a thing of the past. It will still be a few more years before the full benefits will obvious to all. We are watching BIM closely as well.

Though it is likely going to take years for the shift to completely take hold, I believe BIM will facilitate a collaborative approach that helps clients get the best of both DB and Design-Bid-Build. I love it when technology facilitates collaboration. I’m excited about the shifts that BIM (Building Information Modeling) is creating in terms of changing the traditional project delivery methods.
