Building Smarter: Jerry Laiserin on AEC IT/BIM

ACM have published an interview with Jerry Laiserin where he discusses the history, challenges and benefits of the AEC industry moving from traditional “Design/Drafting” to “Building Smarter. “Building Smarter” is his term for the application of IT Technology to Building Design, Construction and Asset Management/Operation.

A coordinated model requires a coordinated approach in what has traditionally been a fragmented industry. How do we manage the change from Building to Building Smarter and what are the benefits?
