Why Architects Worldwide Are Turning to BIM for Better Careers
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that BIM is booming. It’s the future, and the AEC industry’s definitive move into complete digitization. In fact, in just four years from now, by 2026, the BIM market is projected to be valued at a jaw-dropping 10.7 billion USD. It’s no surprise then that young architecture professionals are looking to BIM for both financially and intellectually rewarding career paths.

What is BIM?

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a methodology that brings together all of the information needed to conceptualise, create, and manage an AEC project in a digital space. This is achieved with the help of design and data-management software like Revit, Navisworks, ArchiCAD, and Vectorworks Architect. Traditional CAD technology is limited to 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings. BIM goes several steps further to incorporate 4-D (time), 5-D (cost), 6-D (sustainability), 7-D (operation), and 8-D (safety).

The Industry’s Digital Overhaul

It wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that BIM is to the architecture industry what the Metaverse is to the tech industry. It’s ushering in a paradigm shift in architecture alongside other technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, and Blockchain.

On its way to becoming a non-negotiable standard practice, BIM is already government mandated for public projects in multiple countries. Keeping pace with the times, firms worldwide are increasingly replacing CAD drawings with BIM files and looking to recruit BIM-skilled architects who can both lead and contribute to their digital evolution.

Why Bother with BIM?

With BIM specialists in high demand and the rapid scale of digitization worldwide, the time is ripe for architects to level-up and transform their careers.

BIM is pandemic-proof.
The Pandemic witnessed a turbulent job market marked by a steady decline in employment rates. And yet, owing to the end-to-end digitization that BIM roles involve, jobs remained stable and largely unaffected. Online collaboration emerged stronger than ever, coupled with a growing realization of the endless possibilities of remote working in the field.

BIM skills pay more.
While it’s common for architects to see incremental salary growth based on their years of experience, BIM professionals see exponential growth based on their skillset and project management abilities. Typically, BIM-skilled architects earn 40% higher than the industry average.

BIM professionals’ extraordinary career graph is exemplified in the case of Ar. Neha Sadruddin, who went from being a college student to a BIM specialist at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), New York, in just four years by equipping herself with relevant skills via a variety of architectural design projects.
