BIM - advice required for complete Newbie

[grizzler]

I know nothing at all about B.I.M, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that it is going to become essential to the line of work i wish to pursue. So then, who knows about it, where can I learn about it in NW England and how compatible is SU with B.I.M?

Thank you.

Hi, sketchup is primarily a visualisation program with a very easy, almost vertical learning curve. Basicaly, Bim starts as a visualisation tool but vertically intergrates project management cost estimation etc.
