How BIM is Transforming the Global AEC Industry

Stephen Jones

Senior Director

McGraw Hill Construction

BIM is dramatically impacting the project delivery process in major markets around the world, driving an increasing level of integration, productivity and transparency to all stages from conceptual design through to commissioning and operations.

Since 2007 McGraw Hill Construction has been leading the global industry in studying BIM trends among designers, builders and owners in the Americas, Europe and Australasia including adoption, implementation, ROI, benefits and investments, as well as gauging non-user objections and perspectives.

Steve Jones from McGraw Hill Construction has been the lead researcher and primary author of ten SmartMarket Reports about this dynamic transformation.

Steve will share some of the latest McGraw Hill research findings and show examples of how some leading firms are deploying BIM for powerful benefits.
