Some good news on the classification front
Since my last post I’ve been involved in some nice developments related to BIM and classification. That’s why for now I’ve stopped writing about BIM element property names. But be patient, more and even better things are coming! Here’s a quick update. FIRST, Lithuania has adopted a national construction classification…

The HVAC industry’s move to BIM is being slowed by the lack of standards for object…
Welcome to my new blog – “InfiniBIM – BIM to the point”

Both at the big-picture level of methodology, and also as regards very practical details of everyday project management. My name’s Donatas. I’ve been working with building information technologies…
