The move toward a complete Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow on civil infrastructure projects requires a high degree of commitment. The change is significant, but the rewards far outweigh the initial investment and are compounded as your firm becomes more proficient.

We’ve listed 10 things that leaders should know about the industrial Internet of Things.

BIM in the era of connection is the process by which focus is placed on the right way to increase infrastructure—by taking into account the inter dependency of all adjacent infrastructure systems and the costs over the life-cycle of that system—all targeted to help future-proof that system for growth, adaption and resiliency.

The concept of Connected BIM anticipates the computational future of the building industry. Cloud technology will enable more powerful tools to support a broader range of building activities across the design, procurement, construction, and asset operation life-cycle, with two very important effects.
