I am a manager of Virtual Design and Construction in a small company named Premier Energy Co.,Ltd. We are a general contractor for large scale renewable energy projects. Most of our works were Biogas generation system. Some of the photos were real projects and some were promising projects.

In Thailand,BIM is very difficult to implement in our construction industry. Especially for a small consulting and construction company like us. Last 2 years I came across the website talking about "3D CONSTRUCTION MODEL BY SKETCHUP" and sine then I have spent most of my energy to implement this process in my company.

You can come to see all of my process of work at http://www.bimforwwt.blogspot.com. I call my department "Virtual Design and Construction Department". We are using Sketchup as a main tool to manage our construction project's life cycle. We are just beginning and hope that we can use this new process to be a new option for companies who are failing to apply BIM, IPD or VDC.....

BOM and visualization power are geart in SKETCHUP as you are doing. But in my point of view, Sketchup could be more. I think it can make 4D and 5D for managing construction plan and resources and also cash flow, respectively. The true value of sketchup for construction industry should be done. in this way I guess.

I have used Sketchup in the way that most people do not do. Because, I am in the construction industry, my work is to use Sketchup to promote collaboration between our clients (owners), my consulting team and our sub-contractors. The collaboration can be done in 3 ways
