BIM is transforming our industry and we find ourselves each having to invent the transformation one office at a time. This is not a SMART way to work. While we can collectively help each company make a successful move to BIM there are some significant collective efforts that need to be accomplished at an industry level. Items such as coordination of manufacturers information to be pulled into a model, coordinated and comprehensive education, standards, foundational technology and best business process practices, to name a few are needed. These things cannot be accomplished by one office, one company, association, or industry segment. Accomplishing these things is the basic purpose of the Alliance. Join now to allow these industry changes to occur. Invest in your future. Let us make a strong statement together that we, as practitioners, are in charge of our future.
Some of the projects that we will soon be posting on the web that you will be able to get involved with include:
AIA Contracts for BIM
