The Great BIM Salary Debate May 2022

To coincide with the quarterly release of our BIM Salary Guide, we hosted a live debate, with industry experts (see below), to discuss what the future holds for BIM salaries and how recruiters are reacting to the current supply and demand challenges.

THE EXPERTS:

CHAIR: Chris Crookes – MANAGING DIRECTOR: BIMBOX

Nick Leach – HEAD OF DIGITAL CONSTRUCTION: SIR ROBERT MCALPINE

KEY POINTS DISCUSSED:

Increase in demand for BIM outstripping supply of skills
Lack of clarity around BIM pathways and appeal as a career
Importance of construction experience over software knowledge
Pressures on time and resource for mentoring
Sources of training and barriers to accessing these
Efforts to retain good employees through development and progression not salary competition

In case you missed us live, here is the full recording. We hope you find it informative and useful.
