Description
Summary:The article reports that proponents of building information modeling (BIM) and software interoperability may soon get a boost from the world's largest building owner. The General Services Administration (GSA) recently solicited the AEC community to provide information about BIM, such as case studies and best practices, with an eye toward improving project delivery and possibly creating new standards for submitting design information to the agency. Specifically, GSA asked for feedback on using Industry Foundation Classes, the standards for electronic-data exchange created by the International Alliance for Interoperability.
