BIM is more commonly associated with the Architecture, Engineering and Construction space, stereotype or fact. Maybe this is because Douglas C. Engelbart first analysed BIM as an architectural concept in the 60’s, or maybe we can thank “The Father of BIM” Charles M. Eastman for his theory on “Building Description Systems” for the construction space. There is an argument that the consistent ‘terminology debate’ is also to blame for such a stereotype, but are we now experiencing a shift in which industries BIM can be utilised? In short… Yes, we are.
