Description
Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has successfully been using building information modeling (BIM) for many years on some significant and complex projects. But it's been a bumpy ride at times, involving multiple BIM platforms being used in a rapidly growing company. Having gone from being a 60-person firm back in 2010 to employing more than 600 people as a large global organization 10 years later, BIG had to have a solid strategy in place. This was one of the main reasons why the company decided to streamline the BIM procedures back in 2018 and focus on Revit software as the primary BIM platform. This meant a major switch in the Copenhagen office, and a complete restructuring of the BIM setup. In this talk, we'll take you on that journey, and share some of the thoughts, steps, and developments that happened to make the switch as smooth as possible. In this talk, we'll explore the implementation strategy and look into the machine room at BIG, and we'll mix it up with some good stories and a series of case studies along the way.
