Pants on Fire
The chances of being caught out on a lack of BIM knowledge have risen significantly
BlogsStop! Carry on…
I’m a self confessed twitter addict, but since the New Year, I must admit that I have been a little quiet (by my standards anyway).

Say Cheese...
I was copied in on a report last week. It came from a ‘lessons learnt’ workshop that was held on a large project we have been working on for over 3 years

BlogsEvery little helps...
I’ve been absent from my post for a few weeks because I was foolish enough to take a holiday, and the ensuing backlog of meetings and emails has taken its toll.

You say tomato, I say tomato...
I was asked to speak at a conference last week, and as the invite extended to the full day, I decided to sit in the morning session ahead of my slot to see what it was all about.

I’ve now had this conversation three times in the last week, so in typical fashion, I thought I’d share it with you all.

Want that one...
OK, so I took a holiday. Sorry it’s been so long, but I actually had to stop writing this blog and get on with some work. Everything’s fine now though, back to normal.

Now build me some bim…
I spent some time last week back in my role as a bim coordinator, part of which involves helping to advise a major contractor on its national 4D implementation strategy.

Standard Patter
Before I went away on my holiday, I was invited to participate in the upcoming revision of the AEC (UK) Bim Standard for Revit.
BlogsTo me, to you…
I’ve been busy this week, writing a guest blog for the NBS and something that I discussed in that post came up again today, so I thought I’d expand on my point here.

On your marks…
I have no doubt that BIM is now coming to our shores - my question is how quickly BIMwash will follow, if it isn’t already here…
