BIM is more than just a modeling tool—it’s a business strategy. Yet many AECO firms across Canada struggle to move from intention to execution due to misalignment, underutilized tools, and siloed workflows.
In our previous blog, BIM Standardization & Training: The Key to AECO Success, we discussed the foundational barriers to BIM adoption. Now, we go a step further—building a tailored BIM implementation plan that supports long-term success.
Canada’s AECO industry is transforming fast. From government mandates to sustainability goals and complex project delivery models, BIM adoption is no longer optional.
Over 70% of top-performing North American firms already use BIM to coordinate projects, reduce risk, and accelerate delivery.
Still, many organizations fall short—not from lack of intent, but from lack of a structured BIM implementation strategy.
While many firms invest in BIM software or develop standards, few manage to scale those practices organization-wide.
“BIM should be a business strategy, not just a modeling tool. Without a clear plan, it becomes just another piece of software your team underuses.”
— Vijay Govindaraman, AECO Services Manager, SolidCAD
