Sooo busy...

It's the worst excuse of a blogger, so please forgive me.

I just checked to see when my last post was and it scared me, so I thought I'd best put something up about what I've been doing, as its given me quite a few ideas for this blog that I intend to get out over the next few months...

Most of my time has been absorbed with www.bimstore.co.uk. We're very excited about this, and it launches in April, so be sure to take a look and of course let us know what you think of our little baby...

I also have been super busy with all things BIM.  We launched our www.bigbim.co.uk site at BSEC 2011 - featuring a laser scan of the stand courtesy of digital surveys , dgital masterplanning courtesy of Skape , BIM implementation and support with Excitech , and awesome collaboration furniture from Steelcase.  We have also been having some great discussions with Willmott Dixon, who are busy moving forward BIM in their business, as well as running point on the BIM coordination for 5 jobs accross our office now.  That has led me to start our next online venture - keep an eye on www.navisspace.co.uk for a new online Navisworks resource...

We also have been continuing our march onwards with BIMming up the business, keeping the training going, and importantly helping our guys get certified as Revit 2011 professionals.  We see this as an important statement of our BIM credentials, and shows how proud we are of all our revit champions that have joined us on our journey onward and upwards.  Yesterday, 8 people passed in our first wave, making us the most certified single company in the whole UK - with just short of 40% of all certified Revit professionals in the UK working for us.  With another 10 lined up to take the exam in May, we're serious about our commitment.

I have also been a victim of my own twitter addiction.  Responding to a call for bloggers from BD magazine, I now also write a blog about BIM for their site.  Its kind of a different slant from this blog - exploring some of the wider issues concerning BIM and keeping it a little less geeky.  If that sort of thing is your bag, then you may want to take a look - be warned though, some of the comments its has provoked are a little spicy to say the least.  Not sure everyone is as passionate about BIM as me...

And lastly I notice the twitter frenzy for the forthcoming 2012 suite has well and truly begun.  If that doesn't rock your 'galaxy' then I don't know what will.  Needless to say, there will be some important news coming early next week, and we'll be a part of that.  All I can say at the moment is that I hope theres a 'point' to all this hype, and I am so happy that last week I won a Spacepilot pro courtesy of 3Dconnexion!
