Challenges to BIM Adoption - B1M University Class 3

The focus that BIM places on delivering accurate attribute data and structured information in particular demanded a different approach: “BIM is a whole different level of information, a different mindset and a different structure as well. We had to adapt to that accordingly” explains Jordan. AluK decided ear
