It is becoming increasingly apparent that Building Information Modelling is the future, as Government state that BIM will be adopted in all public construction projects by 2016.

The Government's Chief Construction adviser Paul Morrell recently stated in the AJ that 'any practice that can't operate in this environment will quickly feel as disconnected as one without email.'

However, many practitioners find BIM a frightening prospect, and consider the move from CAD to BIM similar to the transition to CAD from the drawing board.

This seminar explains that the process change associated with adopting BIM is actually more of a paradigm shift, and gives an overview of how the process change is affecting the way building projects are run and managed from conception through to post-occupancy management.
