To me, this report seems like a more in-depth look into the subjects covered in the end of year
BIM Pipeline for Growth report.
Having someone of the calibre of Richard Saxon CBE writing the report gives a huge amount of weight to the subject. Richard has been chair of BDP, president of BCO, Vice President for Practice at RIBA and is now “
BIM Ambassador for Growth” for UK Government.

So a pretty good CV :)
Reading through the report, there are two very loud and clear messages.
- Through BIM we can provide better quality construction more efficiently at home.
- Through BIM we can be a big exporter of professional services abroad.
Usually, as a nation, we are very modest. But there is a certain strong confidence about this report that is good to see. As mean of an overview, I include a number of screen grabs below.

That's certainly a big project. What general public is concerned about is that they provide better quality construction at home.
