Embracing BIM - solutions for small and medium businesses and practitioners

Have you embraced BIM as a small or medium practice?

Do you get the benefits of BIM, but are struggling to bring your staff and partners along with you?

Do you need BIM for your job, but have never really been taught what it is or how to use it properly?

Do you just see BIM as 3D modelling?

The adoption of BIM in the UK has been patchy, despite growing requirements for its use from regulators, investors and clients. For small and medium practices in particular, the myriad of solutions can seem overwhelming, and aligning project partners an uphill struggle. For practitioners, the experience is often one of learning on the job, with little guidance through the opportunities and pitfalls of different models.

This event is designed for small and medium sized built environment businesses, and practitioners and students, who are keen to embrace BIM; but are grappling with how best to apply it in practice.

You will hear from speakers across the industry - designers, developers, practitioners and educators. The event will showcase best practice examples of adopting BIM by small and medium practices, as well as examples of frustrations or challenges with its implementation. The presentations will be followed by an interactive session to resolve some of the issues raised in real time and an opportunity, during drinks and networking, to trial some of the products and solutions available, including navigating a BIM model using an Apple Vision Pro.

Confirmed speakers include:

Tara and Lanre Gbolade - Gbolade Design Studios
