Balfour Beatty PLC is stepping up its support of new software and digital tools that underpin full lifecycle use of building information modeling around the globe. A recent deal with Autodesk is a key part of the strategy.
Chris Millard, head of systems integration for the 50,000-employee, UK-based infrastructure firm, says the goal is to expand the power of BIM as an information hub and collaboration nexus. This will support better design, construction and asset management for the lifecycle, and better facility outcomes for owners and society.
