I think BIM is a good opportunity for architects to get back in control. One of the things stopping the development of BIM is the contractual issue of sharing information. To be really efficient there may have to be integrated companies to go with integrated information.

I don’t think CAD is that more efficient than the drawing board because old drawing techniques are much more developed and understood than CAD communication methods, all CAD gains are lost by drawing unimportant information, this is were older architects have a better understanding that younger architects.

I think making BIM easy to uses is more important than training because every one needs to be able to use it for effective communication. IT companies don’t tend to be interested in that side of development because they make there money out of training or adding the next best button.
