Over the past few years, BIM has become a centerpiece in the AEC industry in almost every developed and developing countries including India. This is mainly due to the effective tools it provides AEC professionals in the overall management phases such as planning, designing, and construction of buildings and infrastructures. India has been a bit slow in embracing new technologies, and BIM specialists are limited in the region. The government's involvement and a huge initial BIM cost are essential to quicken its implementation. However, rapid urbanization and industrialization have changed the scenario and have given rise to better infrastructural setups in India. The quality of the country's existing infrastructure is neither efficient nor environmentally optimal. This calls for the need of BIM technology to transform the construction landscape in India. Amongst the mind-boggling numbers of BIM experts, SOFTECH BIM CONSUL-TANT is a name worth mentioning.

self-built professional environment themselves. It also promotes employees to go for certifications, and any technical up-gradation process, keeping in mind they remember SBC even after if they leave.

The Silver Lining
Big companies' monopoly, financial illiteracy, lack of knowledge post company's creation, lack of business experience, lack of marketing & technological experience, lack of a mentor's guidance, and building trust outside the industry were the biggest roadblocks that SBC faces from their initial months of starting up. The company strongly promotes the tagline, `Positiveness is like gears in a machine, and trust is the lubricant that reduces friction, making it an ideal system.'



It is this belief that helped the company to withstand the tough times and came through with flying colors. "We started off with a couple of projects with a sole objective in mind that client satisfaction and quality delivery is the ultimate prize. Projects multiplied, and soon we transformed from a garage to a 3-floor rented office multiplying resources. Now each of us believes that the future of the company is a technology and innovation that will drive the next step forward," says Arindam Nath Sarkar, Co-Founder, SBC.
