Graphisoft’s Akos Pfemeter, director of global marketing, offered these predictions for the AEC industry in 2012:

— “GREEN” is becoming a standard organically integrated part of BIM from inception through completion to demolition

— BIM is more and more infiltrating the “cloud” through specific BIM integrated services and solutions

— Integrated Project Delivery is staying in the realm of “high-value” projects such as healthcare and research facilities

— Small and medium companies will keep looking for all-round BIM solutions covering the complete AEC workflow

— “OPEN” collaboration workflows are becoming the de-facto standard in interdisciplinary AEC collaboration
