The sceptic, if he or she does his or her job correctly, is critical to the productive evolution of any movement, and as we embark on the Building Information Modelling (BIM) revolution, it is worth asking a few questions. We embrace the promise of BIM - born from the notion of collaboration between disciplines and the integration of design -and recognise it as a paradigm shift in an industry that has spent too much of the past century trying to separate consultants on the same design team, to clarify liability and to shed responsibility. Any move towards accepting more responsibility is generally a good direction, and we are therefore enthusiastic about the potential of BIM and the cultural shift it appears to be initiating.
