Thanks for your comment Abhay.

Glad to hear that.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Derick. Very nice to hear from you. Keep up the good work. I will do my best to create more videos :)

Thanks!

You're welcome!

Thanks for the brilliant question. ISO 19650 Part 1 discusses various topics that are directly related to the design phase: digital project delivery strategies, information delivery and handover plans, BIM Execution Plan and federated model that links the architectural design with building structure and MEP. It helps designers to have better communications with other stakeholders involved in the project. The most important challenges in my opinion are around building up the required knowledge and digital skills. In many cases, there need to be communications with the clients around the necessity of implementing BIM in private projects.

Many thanks Kabdi.

Hi Soroush. ISO 19650 part 1 was published in 2018 and the 2 others in 2020. So it is quite new! Also, the implementation of this document differs from country to country.

Hi Mohamed, Such a brilliant question. ISO 19650 is the International BIM Standard. It has been developed based on the existing UK BIM Standard but was modified to form the international version. I am not aware of any other widely used standards in Europe (I will need to search to give you a definite answer). US National BIM Standard www.nationalbimstandard.org/ Take a look at this article: clok.uclan.ac.uk/39137/1/39137%20A%20Global%20Analysis%20of%20BIM%20Standards%20Across%20the%20Globe%20%20A%20Critical%20Review%20Accepted%20Version_.pdf I am planning to add more videos over Summer.

Thanks a lot! The linked article provides excellent insights regarding different BIM standards in different countries. Waiting for you new videos! I hope that you can emphasize on the relationship between BIM and the sustainability in the built environment in your upcoming videos; that is, how BIM can help reduce the carbon footprint, reduce waste, and induce a greener built environment.

Many thanks for your comment and the brilliant question. BIM standards should be implemented on publicly funded projects in the UK. In other countries, there are different regulations around the implementation of BIM standards. But what is for sure is that as we go on, more countries and companies will use the BIM process and standards in their construction projects. I should also add that we still have a shortage of skilled professionals in BIM throughout the construction and built environment sector.

Hi Moiz, you need to know the theory, standards and BIM software. I would suggest you to read BIM job specifications in your region and see what skills employers are looking for. What are you studying?

I can suggest various different topics (mainly the ones that I like personally) but the best way to get to your PhD research topic is to start reading research articles around this subject. Also, before choosing your PhD topic, you should think about three important things: 1- Your previous skills and experiences: It will help you a lot, if you research a topic that you have in-depth experience in. 2- What do you want to do with your PhD? Why are you planning to do a PhD? Finding an academic job? Being very skilled in a narrow subject? Staring a business? Some topics are interesting but will not secure jobs for you. 3- What subjects/methods are you passionate about? For example, I did not like pure theoretical subjects and wanted to use digital tools and technologies. Good luck!

@@builtevolvechannel8870 , thank you so much for the detailed reply. I have considered all these points and i have read various literature on the topic too. Actually, my previous research in my masters program was application of wireless sensors for leakage detection in underground sewer and water pipelines to prevent the occurence of sinkholes in urban areas. But, for my PhD i want the keep the application of WSN, IOT, and BIM in Construction as my research areas. The change i want is to apply these latest technologies in building sector. During my masters degree i applied WSN to infrastructure projects but in my PhD i want to apply my previous knowledge of research in building projects. This will make me to understand the application of these technologies in both sectors (infrastructure and buildings).

I read one of you review paper, which is i think most citied article in your profile, "The impact of occupants’ behaviours on building energy analysis: A research review". Nowadays, i am writing a research paper titled "energy performance analysis of an existing building using BIM". I cited your article too in my paper. Hopefully, i will submit in a journal.

There are so many interesting BIM books. Let me know what you are looking for so I can guide you. Theoretical? Practical? Also, what is your background?

@@builtevolvechannel8870 First of all I would like to thank you for your attention. My background is Architecture and now a I'm doing Msc BIM, I need some material to understand how Iso make Bim possible. Thank you again

Good to hear that you are about to start upskilling yourself with BIM. There are two important sides to it: Theoretical and practical. I would suggest that you learn both sides. For the theoretical side of BIM, there are various books and online resources that can help you. For the practical side, I would suggest you pick one BIM tool related to your expertise in the built environment and start learning it step-by-step. The job market is full of current and future BIM opportunities. If you tell me more about your profession and specialisation, I may be able to help you more. All the best!

@@builtevolvechannel8870 Good morning, I hold Architecture bsc.degree and with 5 years of experience in Design and construction project management. I have followed all your tutorials from your youtube channel. However I am still need the advise for pursuing BIM in order to upgrade myself in AEC industry.It appears that the term BIM us still new for us who hold like to be the upfront into the domain. Please help us where to start and what the future holds for BIM learners. Thank you.

I would love to, I am just very busy at the moment. But I will be back with more videos. I have the list of topics!

@@builtevolvechannel8870 , great. Thank you.

Unfortunately not the standards, many school libraries have free access though. Some websites, have some elements of the standard for free.

Hi Mohan. If you are not based in the UK and don't have a UK Visa that allows you to work in the UK, it will be very difficult to get a job in the construction sector. You will need to find a "HIGHLY-SKILLED" job in a large company that sponsors visas.
