Many people are asking me about BIM Business in the region.
People are definitely enjoying talking about BIM, attending BIM seminars, reading case studies etc but when it comes to action...Hmmm...
Organizations are too slow in making any kind of decision. Once I met with an IT Manager working for a consultancy and he told me that he had been working on implementing "Outlook" in his company for the last 6 months.
First I thought he was joking and packed out laughing. But then I noticed he is serious and this was even funnier than a joke:)))
At this stage i made a calculation based on my learning curve...
I learned Outlook probably in 10 minutes and I learned ArchiCAD in 40 hours.
If this company implements Outlook in 6 months then it will take them to implement any BIM software in 120 years:)))) In 2132, they will be BIM users..Maybe :)))
Ok! Enough of empty talk.... Let's be serious again.
Of course the example above was an extreme case maybe with some exaggeration. Though I have witnessed extreme cases on the opposite side as well.
Two companies started implementation of ArchiCAD just one day after our meeting:) I love this kind of people:)
How about the majority?
Well, once the decision of switching to BIM is made by the management it usually takes 1-2 years to investigate the software available in the market.Then another year to implement it.
As you see, it is very very slow but promising:)
