5. MARKET TENDENCIES ● Finance: BNP (Gross Domestic Product) increased 3,1% the fourth quarter 2013 compared to 2012. ● The growth rate is very slow in the housing area. ● Infrastructure projects are expected to keep delivering during coming years. ● The infrastructure projects encourage a lot of international actors to seek out the Swedish and Nordic market, which increases the competing situation and thus the increasing pricing pressure. ● The pricing pressure on the market continues to be tough. The costumers exploit the market situation, and member companies who have spare capacity offer very low hourly fees.

6. PRACTICE TENDENCIES ● The architectural practices report increased orders intake during autumn 2013. The orders in January 2014 were the best since September 2011. ● The average charageability stayed unchanged at 77,1% during the third tertial 2013 compared to the second tertial. ● The profitability during 2013 stayed the same compared to 2012. ● The operating margin for the participants in the survey was 8,4 % during 2013. It will probably increase a bit during 2014. ● The architectural practices signal quite a big need for recruitement. ● The industry consulting firms and the engineering consultants report an increased orders intake. ● There is an ongoing structural change in our companies, towards multidiscipline and larger.

7. BIM SITUATION TODAY ● A lot of Swedish companies work at a simple level with 3D and project examining. ● As for standardization we have two Swedish government initiatives: - BIM in Trafikverket. By 2015 all projects will be implemented as BIM projects. Management and sustainability are in focus. - Five government organisations are establishing a joint BIM strategy. 2013-14 : - Specialfastigheter - Akademiska hus - Riksdagsförvaltningen - Fortifikationsverket - Fastighetsverket. Focus: Methods, strategies, processes, intelligence. ● There is always a requirement for an open format. Fi2 XML gives a free flow between different systems.

8. BIM SUMMARY ● Companies are now regarding BIM as a strategic tool, part of their business model. Just five years ago ”specialists” worked with BIM. Now (still at a simple level) all planners at most companies work BIM oriented. ● There is not a requirements based development from the government. ● A pragmatic and win-win situation makes the development of more advanced BIM projects accelerate. ● The rapid and encouraging development of BIM applications is a driver. ● EU programs show BIM as an area of interest, which encourages interest from the companies. ● Strategic Innovation Area – 10 year agenda. Vinnova. In november 2013 IQS submitted a united agenda to start a new strategic innovation area (SIO) - Smart Built Environment – Processes and information management in construction and facility management.
