Building information Modelling (BIM) lies at the centre of construction industry’s interest nowadays, with a revolutionary impact on the ways that professionals work, collaborate and conduct business. The application of BIM is not as straightforward... Read More about BIM solutions for construction lifecycle: a myth or a tangible future?.

Developing and embedding a BIM curriculum in build environment courses: the RGU experience. (2018)
Conference Proceeding
KOUIDER, T., SALMAN, H. and PATERSON, G. 2018. Developing and embedding a BIM curriculum in build environment courses: the RGU experience. In Kouider, T. and Alexander, G. (eds.) Proceedings of the 7th International congress on architectural technology (ICAT 2018): architectural technology at the interfaces, 14-17 June 2018, Belfast, UK. Aberdeen: Robert Gordon University, pages 155-172.

Among the ambitions regarding BIM uptake across the built environment sector in the UK and arguably beyond may be tempered by a realpolitik shaped in part by interactions between Higher Education (HE) and professional practice. In September 2013, Edu... Read More about Developing and embedding a BIM curriculum in build environment courses: the RGU experience..

A quest needs for building information modelling tools training in a developing nation. (2018)
Conference Proceeding
