Lobbying Wars Over Data in Construction. History of BIM's Hidden Past and Techno-Feudalism

´ 🛤️ A journey through the last three decades in the emergence and development of the major technology players in the construction data field: #Autodesk, #Graphisoft, #BIM, #openBIM, #IFC and #BuildingSMART and their marketing concepts. We'll lift the veil on the hidden battles for data control in the construction world and show you what's going on behind the scenes. 🏗️📉 Why is labour productivity so low in construction? 🤔🧶 How did #AutoCAD, #Revit and #ArchiCAD come about? 🏆💡 Who truly pioneered BIM technology, #Autodesk or #Graphisoft? 🤷‍♂️🏛️ How did the acronyms #BIM, #openBIM, #IFC and #buildingSMART come about? 🤝🌐 What do #Autodesk, #Graphisoft, and #buildingSMART have in common? 🚧🏚 Where do the insurmountable quality problems at #IFC come from? ⚖️💊 What is forcing professionals to move from #openBIM to #closedBIM? 🎩💼 How did #BlackRock and #Vanguard gain control of construction data technologies? 🗺️ Miro Board “History of BIM“: =/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🧾 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Overview and Introduction 01:11 - 🎞️ 𝗕𝗜𝗠'𝗦 𝗛𝗜𝗗𝗗𝗘𝗡 𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗧 01:40 -- The Birth of AutoCAD and Autodesk's Ascendancy 03:10 -- Revit: Autodesk's Strategic Acquisition 03:39 -- PTC and the Pro/ENGINEER Evolution 05:09 -- BOM: Conceptual Development 06:26 -- Revit Software: A New Chapter 07:23 -- Birth of the marketing acronym BIM 08:04 - 🎞️ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗔𝗥𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗗 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗦 08:06 -- Creation of Radar CH - ArchiCAD 10:01 -- RUCAPS - GDS: Establishment of Intergraph 11:05 -- CAD Market: Trends from 2004 to 2023 11:55 - 🎞️ 𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗙𝗖 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗕𝗜𝗠 12:02 -- The Inception of IFC by Leonhard Obermeyer 13:07 -- Autodesk's Role in IFC Development 14:55 -- The emergence of the marketing acronym openBIM 15:33 -- Birth of the buildingSMART organisation 15:47 -- openBIM vs. closedBIM: The Dichotomy 16:36 -- IFC format quality issues 18:03 -- The Drive Toward closedBIM: A Professional's Dilemma 18:40 - 🎞️ 𝗔𝗚𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗛𝗡𝗢𝗙𝗘𝗨𝗗𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗠 𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 18:43 -- The Shift: CAD Firms under Investment Giants 19:43 -- The CAD Duopoly: A Lack of Market Competition 21:17 -- Architecture's New Era: CAD-BIM-Driven Construction 22:09 -- The Strategic Importance of Closed Data Formats for CAD vendors 22:40 -- CAD-BIM data and Data Management System Dependency 23:23 -- Construction labour productivity and data openness 24:25 -- Construction's New Paradigms: An Industry Shift 24:56 -- Data Monopoly: The Construction Industry's Planned Economy 25:39 - 🎞️ 𝗜𝗡 𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗨 𝗢𝗙 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 25:46 -- Management's Indifference to Productivity in Construction 26:19 -- The Role of Closed Data in Market Speculation 27:09 -- Construction's Techno-Feudal Landscape 28:06 -- Editorial Series: Lobbyist Games in BIM Development ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗝𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗨𝗘𝗦 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏳ The patterns of data management and software evolution in construction often mirror historical trends, showing us that while technology advances, human drivers remain consistent.
