BIM portocols suggests having two sets of models; one is live within a single team and the other is shared across different disciplines for an optimized & controlled CDE ‘Common Data Environment’.

For a decade or more BIM has been developed around enabling model based design while retaining the traditional drawings based project delivery.

With the recent technological ‘trends’ meta verse & blockchains which quickly being integrated in what we design and potentially to contracts we sign, should we look for a different conclusion for BIM than what is well established now; to be more open between different teams to validate information as it develops instead of being very uptight against documenting a set of drawings which is considered obsolete since Architects already changed the layouts ‘again’!

Shouldn’t we move to a genuine model delivery and stop exhausting thousands of 2d drawings that needs be overlayed and validated even if they are derived from the same design models.

We migh be headed into an interesting development to how we work.

BIM ‘as it stands’ is no longer the future I guess!
