To ensure the BIM solutions we create cater to the current, specific needs and preferences of AEC professionals, IGS regularly seeks consultation from our BIM Advisory Panel. These advisors are highly regarded BIM specialists and industry leaders, currently working in Australia’s largest and most prolific design firms.
IGS BIM Advisory Panel members volunteer their time and expertise to assist IGS and our clients in the knowledge they are more likely to end up with BIM content from manufacturers that can be incorporated into firm-based content libraries and used to produce project documentation, without first requiring significant, costly modification
