5. How mature is our industry?
Half of people are aware of the levels of BIM maturity
This may be related to a growing scepticism
about available information. Only around a
quarter of people (27%) agree that ‘I trust
what I hear about BIM’. Further, when we
asked about how confident they are in their
knowledge and skills in BIM, more people told
us they were ‘not confident’ than ‘confident’.
There’s still work to be done.

6. Attitudes towards BIM: perception vs. reality

7. The government’s view
“the ’what’ and the ‘why’ of BIM have largely been relegated and replaced with the ‘how’.”
"BIM is a 21st Century campfire - it gathers people together."
“Whilst the enabling technologies and our data sets are a big part of BIM, it has been that level of engagement and open (at times radical) collaboration that has been the big win.”
David Philp, Cabinet Office

11. 3… Issue information the way its always be done
3D Virtual Design

12. 4… BIM is just 3D 4D Time (Phasing/Sequencing)
5D Cost (Measuring/Estimating)
6D Life Cycle (Building Owner / FM)
And the list goes on...

19. How confident are you in your BIMability?
“It will be the cultural and
behavioural changes that many will find most difficult...
and yet I believe these will prove to be the most important if we are to be successful.”
Nigel Clark, Hilson Moran

20. Where you are in the change process?
