We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Building Information",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Concern over increasing global competition from
Chartered Institute of Building [CIOB], which we summarised at the time by saying "Increasing global competition is key concern for Europe's construction industry leaders says CIOB".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Autodesk complete acquisition of Robobat from
Autodesk: "Robobat acquisition extends Autodesk's leadership in structural engineering".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Bentley Systems
concerning its Hevacomp aquisition
- take a look at Software to improve performance of buildings
which says: "Bentley Systems has acquired Hevacomp, a UK based leading provider of building services design software dedicated to improving the performance of buildings".
Take a look also at the news release from Autodesk, HOK wins inaugural Autodesk Revit Design Awards,
as well as Aedas receive Autodesk Revit BIM Experience Award from Autodesk,
and Autodesk announces intent to acquire Robobat from Autodesk.
