WEEKLY REPORT

The stuff I found most interesting for the BIM career centric this week.

Our first review of 2019’s Digital Construction Week from Lloyd Connors highlights how using the right procedures that already exist can eliminate dodgy data. All being well more contributors will be adding their views on DCW2019 over the next few days. If you would like to add anything noteworthy for the career centric, please get in touch.

Mr. Smith’s ‘not a blog’ on Monday was another eye opener.  I thought/hoped we were past the days of selling the need for INFORMATION models.  BEWARE dinosaurs, if you (ever) look up you will see a big dot in the sky!  I welcome responses from anyone who has successfully solved this problem without resorting to violence.  They will be good to share and help those in search of a babel fish.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page on his post to add a comment – or email mike@dbe.careers

Ever wondered what a geospatial specialist does and how it impacts on your BIM world?  This fascinating insight from Louise Irvine at Atkins has opened my eyes to an exciting career if you want to maximise the usefulness of data in the digital built environment.
