Introduction

BIMarabia is the first E-magazine intended to spread awareness of

BIM tools and workflows across Arabic region. BIMarabia is written

and edited by users, targeted to be beneficial to practitioners and

researchers in the field. For more information, please go to

http://bimarabia.com/.

This is an English version of BIMarabia magazine, which is

specialized in Building Information Modeling (BIM). We found that the

construction industry need it. When we published the Arabic version,

many readers ask us to translate it to English. Or any other language,

Thus, we decided to translate it to English language.

If anyone wants to translate it to any other language or to join our

team, please don’t hesitate to contact us :

Finally, i apologize for any mistakes, and thanks for Wonderful

BIMarabia team, I’m honor to be one of them.
