The Past, Present, and Future of Construction Data
We take a journey through the last two decades to reveal the origins and development of the major technology players in construction data: Autodesk, Graphisoft, BIM, openBIM, IFC and BuildingSMART. We'll also lift the veil on the hidden battles for control of data in the construction world and show what's going on behind the scenes.
