*Introducing Michael* — BIM Technician at Shft. Venturing deeper into the world of #BuildingInformationModelling, Michael shares, “I feel that one of the most satisfying parts of working in this field is knowing that you are providing something useful and tangible within a discipline that has a lot of complexity. “I first found a route to BIM through architectural design and, later, the technical delivery of projects. I was impressed at how the software used for BIM was superior to traditional CAD when it came to technical design and project coordination. “I wanted the opportunity to work in a team with a very specific purpose geared towards BIM; I wanted to develop my software skills and refine my existing industry knowledge with people who are passionate about the industry.” We’re equally thrilled to have him join the team. 🎉 Get in touch with us today to learn how BIM can enhance your next construction project, just as Michael described here! #building #digitalconstruction #buildingconstruction #construction #constructionindustry #constructionmanagement #contractors #design #buildinginformationmodeling #bim #outsource #outsourcing #aec #aecindustry

There's such an incredible community created by Women in BIM where we all share ideas, thoughts, mentorship and more throughout the year. Yesterday, Michelle had the pleasure of attending this years #WIB conference and engaging with some great industry leaders. The #WIBConfLondon2024 was a day of fantastic speakers and intriguing topics around the future of our built environment and its digitisation.

BIM is not just an added deliverable—it’s a complete overhaul of how contractors work on construction projects. As the construction industry continues to change, we will see even more transformations in our existing processes. One big question that looms over construction professionals: how will AI automation impact the future of construction? 🤔 AI-driven tools, like Text to BIM, are giving access to advanced design capabilities and changing how teams contribute to projects. Learn more about Text to BIM and Michelle’s predictions for the industry on her episode of the Bricks & Bytes podcast.

The most common misconception we’ve heard about #BIM from other professionals in the construction industry is this: “BIM is just a 3D Model.” This couldn’t be farther from the truth! ❌ From our experience as BIM providers, we do far more than produce a model; our services encompass technical design and information management, along with the generation of primary models and construction drawing packages. By working alongside our customers’ existing teams, we ensure that every aspect of the construction process benefits from our digital expertise. In fact, we see ourselves as empowering customers to leverage Building Information Modelling to drive their business forward. This allows them to focus on what they do best while we take care of the digital complexities for them.

There's so much value in industry events like Digital Construction Week #DCW2024. And we mean more than the obvious value to be had from a chock-full programme of talks and seminars by experts in their trade, although that's definitely a big factor. Events like these take us out of our offices and worksites, bringing us together with others from different environments. They open us up to new networks, fresh ideas, and innovative ways of working. Perhaps most importantly: they let others know who we are and what, exactly, our place is in the industry, as well as who we serve. Simply put, it gives our brand greater visibility. And we don't need to be marketing experts to know what that could mean for business down the line. 📅 What's the next industry event on *your* calendar? Let us know if any should be on our radar too for the next half of the year!

We can’t wait for this year’s edition of Digital Construction Week #DCW2024! Jacques will be representing Team Shft so be sure to say hi if you run into him. Which seminars and talks will you be attending?

In the construction sector, like any other evolving industry, people always have differing perspectives on hot topics. ♨️ While husband-and-wife duo Michelle and Jacques each bring their unique skills and individual viewpoints to the table at Shft, they certainly agree on one thing: their definition of #BIM. At Shft, we view BIM as Building Information Management. On the other hand, many in the industry see the acronym as Building Information Modelling. While this isn’t wrong, #BuildingInformationManagement looks at the bigger picture of how construction teams strategically manage information throughout a building’s life cycle. Keen to know more about the difference between the two? Check out Michelle’s views in her interview below! #BuildingConstruction #Construction #ConstructionIndustry #ConstructionManagement #ConstructionTech #DigitalConstruction #AEC #BIM #BuildingInformationManagement #BuildingInformationModelling #Contractors #Subcontractors

Knowledge and Software Proficiency—two of the most important elements to Building Information Modelling success. 📚💾 Transitioning from 2D to 3D requires expertise. If you don’t have the knowledge behind the software, your design quality is bound to suffer. Construction companies whose primary expertise lies in traditional construction methods, timely material deliveries, and on-site work execution can still thrive in today’s digital landscape! 🖥️ Whether we are working with contractors or subcontractors, our mission is to bridge the digital gap by: ➕ Boosting design accuracy ➕ Facilitating effective collaboration ➕ Reducing high-stakes risks ➕ Improving project outcomes for all parties concerned so we can add value throughout the supply chain.

If you’re a homeowner, you deserve to know the details of what goes on behind the walls of your home. How else can you expect to address any hiccups that come up? And if you’re in the construction industry, it’s your responsibility to know how to clearly communicate the valuable information of a built asset to its owners. The best way to present this data in a clear and shareable way is through leveraging the power of BIM, as @Michelle explained in conversation with @Owen Drury and @Martin Piekarz on the @Bricks & Bytes podcast. 📈 If you’d like to know how BIM can bring transparency and clarity to your construction projects so you’re not left behind in the *Shft* towards our industry’s digital future, get in touch with our team today. Our layered services, ranging from strategic consulting to hands-on implementation, can be just what you need. 📩 #BuildingConstruction #ConstructionIndustry #ConstructionManagement #Contractors #ConstructionTech #DigitalConstruction #AEC #BIM #BuildingInformationManagement #HomeOwner
