Specialized figures

BIM Manager, BIM Coordinator, BIM Specialist, CDE Manager

The BIM methodology is based on precise rules and standards that, although recent, have already reached a high level of complexity

To set and manage a BIM project requires specific competences that are still hard to find. To handle a BIM order or to take part in a BIM “bando” aren’t easy activities in which you can improvise: they need competence, but above all experience.

To prepare the specifications for a BIM project, or just to know how to read what has already been prepared by who has developed the project are some of the most important phases on which needs to be spent the right time. At international level, there are four professional figures that revolve around the BIM methodology: BIM Specialist, BIM Coordinator,BIM Manager and CDE Manager.
