(bim)x - a contractors view

Laura takes on the architects with a construction management eye view of BIM. It’s good to see this technology analysed, and being accepted, for other than design. BIM benefits Architects, Design & Construction but a real benefit is the database provided for asset management throughout the entire building lifecycle. In my business, retail, constant change with internal fit-out and its management is a significant overheard as the “construction process” is never really finished.

(bim)x – a contractor's BIM blog

I'm aware that there are already tons of blogs (as well as other resources) out there that discuss BIM (building information modeling) and related practices. However, those resources are unintentionally one-sided; they are produced by the AIA and other architects. This is not to say that they aren't useful; I use these resources daily (in fact, I urge you check out the links to my favorite blogs).

However, as a BIM implementer at a CM firm, I'd like to offer another one-sided resource - but the other side.
