Reading_"BIM: A Healthy Disruption to a Fragmented and Broken Process"

The article "BIM: A Healthy Disruption to a Fragmented and Broken Process" for Journal of Building Information Modeling discusses the revolution that BIM will cause, and justifies any disruption that it might cause. The author, David Jordani makes a strong case for the BIM revolution.  He then states "while technology may be the catalyst,  business process reform and vision is required to create meaningful change."  What this means is that although BIM will allow us to work fast and produce more advanced work. What will change the practice is that "public and private owners will challenge their providers to deliver facilities faster, better, safer and at lower cost". The disruption from BIM comes from a transition from less intelligent software to an altogether different way of parametric modeling. He also states that "the challenge is also being felt in higher education, where already overloaded curricula need to incorporate classes to prepare the next generation  for a leaner more collaborative construction industry."
