Iftikhar Ismail #007

In the final episode of this series, Paul talks to Iftikhar Ismail - Deputy BIM Information Manager at Jacobs - about the role of the information manager, BIM and data-centric processes as they evolve in accordance with ISO 19650, and his practical help guides to the ‘nuts and bolts’ of day-to-day project delivery, sharing his knowledge with the wider industry on social media. Paul and Iftikhar discuss the importance of great documentation, demonstrating the value of digital engineering in budgets, exploring 4D and 5D information production and learning new software platforms, the benefits of real-world project experience, what issues and inefficiencies technologies like virtual reality and holographic projection might solve, and where he has found inspiration on previous travels.
