The purpose of this blog is to provide a forum to explore everything* that is out there in BIM world. I am the structural BIM department head/de-facto project director at a small (but quickly growing) BIM consulting firm called iTech, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I worked as a structural design engineer out of NYC for several years before relocating abroad to the Middle East to find something a bit different and to escape the depressing aftermath of the 2008 recession in the NYC AEC industry.
Joining me will be several of my colleagues, who are BIM managers of their own respective disciplines. I'll let them introduce themselves once they are up and running here.

I have learned oodles about what's going on in BIM world through my professional experiences. One of the things I've learned is that the learning never stops in a field where the technology is ever changing & some of the brightest minds in the AEC industry, academia, software & computing worlds are quickly developing many tools to improve how we all get things built. In fact, there are so many things going on that I can't wrap my head around them, and I don't know where to start. So, with this blog, I am going to be exploring what I can in terms of what is out there, whether what's out there works, and whether what works is out there. I'm sure I'll slip a few anecdotes along the way (or anecdon'ts, if you will).
By writing about this, I hope to encourage myself to continue in this pursuit of BIM understanding and make myself a more knowledgeable BIM professional. I hope that I can also help a few other people out along the way, and hopefully also have those same people help me out where they can. I'm sure to have a lot of questions.
Cheers!
(*everything = as much as I possibly can)
