Exploring the matters
that matter in BIM
In the rapidly evolving landscape of architecture and construction, where innovation intersects with tradition, one acronym stands out: BIM.
Building Information Modelling/Management (BIM) has become more than just a buzzword; it’s a transformative force shaping how we conceive, design, and construct our built environment. As South Africa embarks on a journey of transition, compliance, and collaboration, the importance of understanding BIM cannot be overstated. It is within this context that the ‘BIM Matters’ series emerges as a beacon of enlightenment and empowerment.
The inaugural episode sets the stage for what promises to be a captivating journey. Featuring luminaries such as Dr. Calayde Davey, Anien Nauta and Lilanie Lotter, the panel represents a diverse spectrum of expertise and experience. From academia to industry, from theory to practice, each panellist brings a unique perspective to the table, enriching the discourse with their invaluable insights.
