BIM Without Borders: Outsourcing Digital Construction from Colombia to California

Описание: Welcome to an in-depth conversation about the future of digital construction.

In this episode, we explore a Master’s thesis that demonstrates how a complete BIM Department can be outsourced from Colombia to support real construction projects in California. The discussion explains how outsourcing reduces costs, increases efficiency, and helps mid-sized U.S. contractors overcome the common barriers to building an internal BIM structure.

Noah and Eloise break down:

• What BIM is and why it is transforming the construction industry
• The reasons mid-sized U.S. firms struggle with internal BIM adoption
• Why outsourcing to Latin America, especially Colombia, is a strategic alternative
• A full project simulation: an industrial warehouse in California developed remotely
• Key results: on-time deliverables, high clash-resolution rates, and faster review cycles
• Communication and workflow challenges in international remote collaboration
• The economic implications of a fully outsourced BIM Department
• Lessons learned and the future of BIM outsourcing in the AEC sector

This episode is ideal for:
• BIM professionals
• Construction firms undergoing digital transformation
• AEC students and researchers
• Remote or distributed teams
• Anyone interested in technology, collaboration, and innovation in construction

This is a clear and technically focused discussion about global collaboration and the evolution of BIM-based workflows.
