What Do You Think?<br />
Online Survey<br />
Speak out and tell us what you think with our online reader poll. Read<br />
the articles inside the issue and then cast your votes online. This<br />
month’s question:<br />
Building information modeling (BIM) is a hot new tool for<br />
architects, but it’s a tool that many glazing contractors are<br />
only just beginning to see used. Have you started using BIM<br />
in your work?<br />
❏ Yes, I’ve done a job using BIM<br />
❏ No, but I’m planning to start using BIM soon<br />
❏ No, I’m waiting until I work with an<br />
architect that uses BIM<br />
❏ No, I don’t think BIM will have any<br />
bearing on the projects that I do<br />
