Building information modeling (BIM) is here and coming up strong. Architects are asking for BIM models from engineering and surveying firms. The engineers don’t add much to this task since we are usually happy if we can deliver a clean 3D data file. So it falls into the realm of the surveyor to fulfill this task.

If your clients aren’t asking for BIM, why not learn how to produce what they could use and then offer it to them? It is only a matter of time before they realize its value.
