Bridging Gaps and Building Careers: Inside the Women in BIM Mentor Scheme

Elouise Robinson and Alastair Brook connected through the Women in BIM (WIB) Mentor Scheme. By nurturing connections and creating opportunities for support, the scheme transcends conventional mentorship models.

Square Peg Round Hole: The Problem with BIM to Maximo

BIM effectively creates a single source of truth about a project which can be accessed by all stakeholders across the lifecycle of the asset, facilitating more efficient coordination and collaboration.

The Why: What is the Value of BIM to Maximo?

When BIM is integrated into IBM Maximo, it puts information-rich 3D models directly into the hands of operational technicians ̶ enabling them to visualize tasks involved with ongoing asset management.

The Problem with Digital Engineering for Asset Owners

While the use of Digital Engineering is rapidly growing across the construction industry, misaligned and disparate teams often take a siloed approach to digital engineering standards ̶ with each focused exclusively on their own area of specialization.

Unlocking Efficiency and Accuracy: The Power of 3D Rebar Modelling in Construction Projects

The use of 3D rebar modelling offers significant advantages for complex construction projects, including increased accuracy, improved visualisation, better collaboration, and reduced waste.

Facing the Challenges of the Construction Modelling Industry Western Australia

Western Australia’s economy is heavily dependent on mining projects, the primary driver of demand for construction modelling services in the state. But the industry is facing significant skills shortages, an undersupply of rental accommodation, and a lagging system of bringing young workers into the industry.

How a Digital Twin Is Delivered

Digital twins harness live data to monitor and optimize assets, providing real-time insights into performance and activity, but to effectively adopt a digital twin, the first step is understanding its purpose, its value, and how it is created.

5 Ways BIM Can Help Contractors and Sub-Contractors

BIM offers a wealth of benefits to contractors and subcontractors. By providing access to real-time project information, it can help them optimize all tasks, from budget allocations, material procurement, site planning, quality control, and site safety.

How to Interpret Digital Delivery Requirements as a Contractor

Digital led delivery promotes the centralization of information, typically through BIM processes, so that the contractor is always up to date with the live project data – streamlining construction planning and execution.

How Government Mandated BIM Standards are Being Applied to Projects

Building Information Modelling (BIM) facilitates more productive methods of planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle. BIM enables a collaborative way of working using digital processes to support decision making.

How can the modularized construction seen on remote worksites be applied to easily accessible sites, and to what benefit?

Modularized construction offers a range of benefits, particularly when compared to traditional construction methodologies. This is especially true when optimized and delivered in conjunction with BIM and digital engineering.

5 Trends We Expect to See in the Global Construction Industry

With trends like the adoption of technology, a greater emphasis on circular economy solutions and diversification of hiring criteria, the global construction industry is poised for growth. Here are 5 trends we expect to see in the global construction industry.
