Who we are

The AIA Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community (TAP) serves as a resource for AIA members, the profession, and the public in the deployment of computer technology in the practice of architecture. TAP leaders monitor the development of computer technology and its impact on architecture practice and the entire building life cycle, including design, construction, facility management, and retirement or reuse.

How do we evaluate BIM?

 

Up until now, BIM evaluation has been subjective. Everyone (companies, manufacturers, etc) has BIM guides and standards as well as contracts. bimSCORE, Inc. offers services based on continuous evaluation, scoring, benchmarking and advisement.
