June 26, 2009—The buildingSMART alliance recently announced it is partnering with McGraw-Hill Construction in a North American industry-wide survey of Building Information Modeling (BIM).
The survey, which also involves 16 other construction associations in the U.S. and Canada, is designed to be one of the most comprehensive looks at BIM adoption and usage by architects, engineers, contractors, specialty contractors, specifiers, estimators, construction managers, distributors, fabricators and owners.
The alliance is looking for a wide base of respondents in order to gain the best understanding of where BIM currently stands. Current BIM users will be asked about where they are experiencing value by using BIM, and non-users will be asked about their current attitude and potential future interest in BIM.
The strictly confidential survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, says bSa. Results will be presented as this year’s SmartMarket Report at the bSa conference in December.
