Kickstart Your 2026 with BIM: From Cost to Control: How BIM Enhances Owner Oversight

---

The Need for Leaders to Adapt BIM in the Philippines

As the Philippine construction industry continues to grow, leaders are under increasing pressure to deliver projects on time, within budget, and with greater transparency. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become a powerful solution, enabling smarter project planning, accurate cost control, seamless collaboration, and stronger owner oversight from design through construction.

The event “Kickstart Your 2026 with BIM: From Cost to Control – How BIM Enhances Owner Oversight,” organized by CIM Technologies, Inc. in partnership with Autodesk, successfully gathered industry leaders and professionals to discuss the role of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in improving project control, efficiency, and decision-making.

Mr. Christian Bairan (Solutions Officer - CIM Technologies, Inc.) opened the session with an in-depth presentation on Building Information Modeling (BIM). He outlined the current challenges faced by decision-makers in the construction industry and demonstrated how BIM can improve organizational workflows, enhance project oversight, and support more informed decision-making. His session emphasized the strategic value of adopting BIM to ensure timely, cost-effective, and high-quality project delivery.

Engr. Bianca Valdez (Solutions Officer - CIM Technologies, Inc.) followed with a presentation on integrated project workflows using Autodesk Construction Cloud. She highlighted how the platform enhances collaboration across project teams, streamlines data management, and supports more efficient and coordinated project execution. Attendees were shown how digital workflows can transform traditional processes and improve transparency across all project stages.

Mr. Manjo Perez (Market Development Manager for HP Large Format Design) discussed the importance of the plotter in streamlining design output, ensuring accuracy, and improving overall efficiency in project documentation.

CIM Technologies Inc officially launched the innovative Zero Tag solutions, a smart tag platform that transforms physical touchpoints into interactive digital experiences. Using most smartphones, Zero Tag delivers real-time information, role-based content, and reusable tags, helping organizations streamline workflows, improve communication, and gain better operational visibility.

Attendees gained actionable insights on leveraging digital construction and innovative tools to stay ahead in the industry:

• The importance of rapid BIM and digital solution adoption to maintain competitiveness.

• Strategies to improve project oversight, cost control, and team collaboration using BIM and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

• Recognition that early adoption of digital technologies positions organizations as industry leaders.

The event reinforced the message that digital transformation, BIM adoption, and innovative solutions are essential for future-ready organizations, equipping leaders to stay ahead in a competitive construction landscape.
