There can be advantages to being small. When the fledgling team of David Miller Architects in London realised that integrating building information modelling (BIM) into their workflow could enhance their efficiency and collaborative potential, they were able to bring about the changes much faster than their more established competitors might. Principal David Miller here describes the initiative – from an effective training schedule, to an interaction‐inducing office environment, to a Best Practice Management System that helps keep up with RIBA protocols. Multiple repeat clients, and endorsements from external accreditation auditors, prove the effort was worth it.
