As January comes to a close, one message across the AEC industry is clear: digital capability is now the baseline expectation, not an added advantage. BIM, cloud collaboration, and digital coordination are becoming the default mode of working.

What This Means Going Forward:

Manual, disconnected workflows are rapidly declining
Digital readiness is influencing hiring, promotions, and project roles
Continuous learning is becoming essential for career growth

For Students and Fresh Graduates

Learning BIM today is not about chasing trends — it is about aligning with how the industry already operates. The earlier students adopt structured digital workflows, the smoother their transition into professional roles.
