Number of years in which BIM will be widely implemented (in years, only respondents that gave an estimate, n=330)
Building Information Modeling (BIM), a design and building method applying a digital 3-D model and database to develop the building or construction, is still comparably seldom in use among architects. According to many architects in France and the Netherlands, this is to change soon:
In their view, BIM is the future of construction and architecture. But in other parts of Europe, architects are still more skeptical. This results from the latest issue of the European Architectural barometer, a research project initiated by Arch-Vision, covering the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Most believers in BIM come from France and the Netherlands: 55 per cent of the Dutch and 42 per cent of the French architects think that BIM is the future for construction and architecture. In Germany and Italy the architects are more sceptical, as a quarter of the Italian architects and one fifth of their German colleagues disagree with this expectation.
