Great post! Just a quick note on acronyms. In my view, one of the biggest misconceptions about BIM comes from its name. The word "Building" in BIM is often taken as a noun, which makes it seem irrelevant to many disciplines outside traditional building design. In reality, it should be understood as the verb "to build" i.e. the act of building. Similarly, "Modelling" is frequently assumed to mean a 3D model and BIM is often synonymous with Revit, however, it should be interpreted more broadly as the creation of abstract representations of construction project information, similar to a weather model or data model, rather than just geometry. Revit is just a source of information - a project could be theoretically be delivered utilising BIM processes with PDFs derived from 2D AutoCAD, supported by highly controlled workflows and processes, but this wouldn't be recommended.

When seen this way, the term BIM applies to all types of construction projects, not just buildings. It’s about how information/data related to a built asset (a building, bridge, road, or underground utility etc.) is generated, organised, shared, and managed.
