With Building Information Modelling (BIM) becoming a central plank in the building services sector, he will be exploring, what next? David will give case study solutions on how industry leading firms have improved functionality and enhanced the service provision beyond delivery. He will address how we can create digital estates at a city level where integrated data rich models can support FM, asset management and ultimately user experience. Drawing upon reference projects he will demonstrate the value of BIM when married with other integrated systems, telemetry and analytics to support socially responsive built infrastructure.
