The adoption of building information modelling is being driven by capital delivery rather than asset management, according to Jon De Souza, chair of BIM4Water and business improvement manager at Galliford Try's water division. Speaking at Utility Week Live recently, De Souza said this was "disappointing" as it should be the other way round. BIM was being used for above ground assets, and less so on networks, he said. Four or five water companies are looking to pilot BIM on projects over the next five years. However, some companies are waiting "to see what others do and then hope to catch up", adding that it was the supply chain's role to educate the water utilities. De Souza said a lack of understanding about BIM in the industry is a key challenge going forward. There is also the perception that BIM is a technology and not a process.
