BIM INSIGHTS : SEPTEMBER 2020

This month: Market update and an update on the BIM Experts Directory

 

MARKET UPDATE

In summary, thanks to infrastructure investment as part of the Government recovery strategy there is some optimism with infrastructure focussed clients. However, the same cannot be said for the private sector. You can read more detail in Turner & Townsend’s latest UK Market Intelligence report

Although this uncertainty will affect recruitment across the construction industry, with new projects requiring better BIM, it will have less impact on digital construction specialists – where supply is below demand.

 

SUPPLY, DEMAND + SALARY : SEPTEMBER UPDATE

SUPPLY
Unfortunately, as expected the number of redundancies have increased in August as furlough funding winds down. The impact continues to be greatest with senior level and/or central overhead funded roles. However, project-funded BIM specialists have, to a large extent, been protected and we are already seeing a shortage. Expect this to increase if demand increases in September.

DEMAND
The summer holiday season always cools the recruitment market in August, however, this year, despite the pandemic, we have seen an unexpected increase in demand for project funded BIM Coordinators and Managers. We expect demand to increase over the next 3 months – particularly with clients winning public sector real estate and infrastructure work.

SALARY
Underlining how tight budgets are, despite the increase in demand and the lack of supply, salaries for these new project funded roles have not increased. Instead, recruiters have been looking for candidates with less experience to keep within budget. Therefore average salaries have remained the same or even reduced where experienced candidates have accepted lower salaries.

Average salaries in other areas, where there has been minimal demand, remain unaltered.

You can find our full salary guides here. These were updated in July. The next update is in October you can subscribe here to receive this automatically.

To predict what might happen with salaries over the next 6 months, we have created this useful BIM salary heat map

 

 

BIM EXPERTS DIRECTORY UPDATE

The shop window to help clients find proven, freelance, BIM experts.

If predictions are correct and we see some confidence return in September, clients will be using the Directory to increase BIM capability and minimise risk.

I am determined to help anyone enthusiastic about their career in digital construction make the most of it. For 20 years I specialised in architectural recruitment before nailing my colours to the BIM mast in 2008. Hopefully, I have made a 'positive' difference to a few people's careers in that time. What I have learned over the years is that too much of the genuine talent is squandered. There is not enough information out there to help. It's out there but not shared. So, my solution is to find it and share it in this free knowledge 'hub' for anyone working in the Digital Built Environment - or thinking about joining us. If it doesn't deliver what you want - let me know!
