Structural modeling, the future is now.

After many years of a serious economic crisis (practically a lost decade) it seems that the construction sector, now, begins to overcome after overcoming the different real estate bubbles that have been occurring over the last few years (Spain, Chile, Brazil ...). And it does so hopefully, since many companies have opted for new technologies to differentiate themselves from the competition, as is the case of engineering and its commitment to structural modeling.

It is not so much of a bet (the probabilities of failure are practically non-existent if the transition is made correctly) but rather a winning decision in itself, based on positive objective data from more mature markets in terms of BIM technology as is the case of the Anglo-Saxon countries.

Engineering companies have always been characterized by their ability to innovate, and although small companies are more resistant to changes, the fact is that engineers generally support this new technology of structural modeling, as shown by the latest surveys conducted in Great Brittany, for example.

But they also warn that there is still a lack of training in BIM technology and structural modeling at all levels. In order for people to communicate correctly, everyone must speak the same BIM language, but it can be frustrating to see how, by disinformation, some companies hinder their entrepreneurial workers. In a time when any economic sector is susceptible to profound changes overnight is a gross mistake to believe yourself untouchable (to be told to the hotel lobby or taxi drivers).

This is the battle that touches our employees, training us and convincing the skeptics of the advantages of structural modeling, not because we are fanatics of the new, but also because we know (it is not a matter of intuition) that the future is now, and to continue evolving professionally we have to adapt. The luck we have is that most are already convinced.
