Viewpoint: BIM – a global consultant's perspective

Matthew Wash looks at how structural engineers (and the wider construction industry) can utilise BIM to minimise waste and maximise value.

Autodesk's Erin Rae Hoffer cites the latest National BIM Survey and the UK Government's Construction Strategy, in illustrating the drive towards BIM.

Bentley's Neville Glanville suggests that the key to realising the BIM vision is by ensuring that engineers have access to the in-depth information required to drive effective cooperation and collaboration at every stage.
