Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a design and construction delivery system continues to be a source of challenge for many designers, owners and general contractors. They are hesitant to take on something they perceive as being complex and requiring expensive software and a steep learning curve. That’s the perception; the reality is different; BIM does not have to be a source of anxiety. There are many ways to gradually incorporate BIM into your projects and now David can facilitate
that for you.
