What is Residential BIM

[rcole]

Interesting discussion.

The promise of BIM is to do what Chief does really well today and more. The marketing of BIM in many cases appears to be a way to sell hard to use software to people who don't know any better.

I have personally experienced the price tag that comes along with the hype of even partially emplemented BIM. I also appreciate the other points Doug made.

The question I have is, how do we take what Chief does really well today and get to the more part without the proper format for real, meaningful, and ongoing dialog between Chief and it's users regarding developement of the ML. We already have plenty of lists, long discussions about what doesn't work regarding the ML, and what BIM is or isn't. Beta is really too late, IMO, until the next time around, and that would be the next time around when these particular features are on the table.
