Each character requires a unique set of skills and qualities that can be developed both horizontally and vertically. Upgrading these abilities involves engaging in practical tasks, such as fighting monsters. Currently, the most common BIM roles in the industry are often limited to BIM modelers—or more accurately, “mold flippers.” This term stems from an early misconception that BIM was merely software, and many experienced engineers lacked proficiency in such tools. As a result, mold flippers are a product of history and are expected to disappear in the near future.
Software is simply a tool. In the BIM era, software—much like CAD—serves as an essential instrument for professionals. The true foundation lies in professionalism. Today, the industry includes many novice, proficient, and senior technical engineers who have embraced the BIM concept and mastered related software. These individuals will form the backbone of the BIM era.
To echo the words of Dr. Yang Baoming: “In the future…” BIM technicians will become integral members of project teams, and BIM project directors will play indispensable roles in project management. To qualify as a BIM project director, one must possess strong knowledge of both team leadership and project management to ensure success.
