BIM for all Reasons. October 23, 2011 / Brendan McFarlane. The BIM Experts BIM Tools Survey. I have created a series of surveys to establish the common usage of different types of BIM tools by members of the BIM Experts community, which is probably the largest of it’s type on LinkedIn.

BIM for all Reasons. October 27, 2011 / Brendan McFarlane. A BIM Tool For Construction? I’m indebted my fellow Middle East BIM blogger Zolna Murray ( Debunk The BIM.

BIM for all Reasons. October 23, 2011 / Brendan McFarlane. Beyond BIM into the World of Data Products. I recently came across an interesting article on Orielly.com – The Evolution of Data Products. Which touched on the way in which the way we consume data has developed in the course of the digital revolution. More specifically, it discussed the change from data we browsed and reviewed at as pure data, to actual products which deliver real world results rather than just words and numbers. Hopefully, we wi...

https://bim4all.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/snatching-pole-position

BIM for all Reasons. September 13, 2011 / Brendan McFarlane. Snatching Pole Position and other Riyadh Games.

Plenty of times I’m sure, you don’t have to look very hard to find people with very negative views on the buildingSMART IFC model data format. But if you analyse why they consider the. This is exactly the same as being critical of HTML as a. Consider this classic piece of mumbo-jumbo from the article linked above:. Why IFC is bad. The pro...
