Everything I know.....I learnt through twitter

RememberBIM is a process not technology

“BIM is essentially value creating collaboration through the entire life-cycle of an asset, underpinned by the creation,

collation and exchange of shared 3D models and intelligent, structured data attached to them.”

ConclusionsSocial media can offer ways for everyone to participate in BIM workflows

The only limits are those you impose on yourself

Creating data sets requires rules; it needs process and procedures

You need to be able to search and recycle the data

Whether you are in the supermarket or searching for information on Google maps,

classification is the key to finding what you want
