“This article paper complied with the given PUP MSCM Course Assignment for the course subject towards Building Information Management, and theoretical course background of Ph.D. in Building and Construction Engineering (AIU SSE USA) concerning building construction and services engineering. An argument whereas in the current state of the country with the implication and advantages concerning adopting BIM within AEC Firms, and the comparison on how neighboring countries in South East Asia took using the application of BIM in the project. Nevertheless, to equip ourselves with the latest trends of design technology is to simplify all construction and design issues that we have experienced conventionally. Additionally, this is part of the author’s article contribution for the CEAI VIEWPOINT Journal for September 2018 Edition. And, it is the "Most Read" article composition provided in the LinkedIn, ResearchGate and Academia platforms based on the actual application in design and build construction.”
Technical View
Adopting BIM (Building Information Modelling) is a matter of investment for the company where most of the neighboring countries have had provided in such a way to provide justified and realistic details, and thus, securing the work without compromising the basic needs of design and construction. BIM is now widespread and accurate to work with; in particular, it is the Building Information Modelling, where has been invented many years ago since the 1980s and has been popular commercially through the endorsement of the Autodesk in late 2000. BIM is an intelligent 3D model-based process that creates and helps the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Professionals of the insight and tools to make more efficient in preparing plans, designs, and construction in particular and managing the buildings and infrastructure, where to facilitate the requirements.
It is indeed, as a Consultant working in the Consulting Firm, I am endorsing the importance of using the BIM Component through the AEC Firms to facilitate the design works in every particular project we are taking to promote in designing services precisely what it means to be overall. It is not only for myself endeavor, however, but for the clients to understand what will be happening in the projects as well as in the progression. Notwithstanding, with all the followings benefits that can be achieved using the BIM (Building Information Modelling) in the projects with the following significant facts as follows;
BIM has the quality and reliability of Electro-Mechanical Construction;
The CAD MEP software helps the design and construction in achieving the goals in securing the project a realistic vision;
BIM is more accurate, efficient, and deliver more innovative building and infrastructure strategies that nobody can excuse from it;
Through the BIM (Building Information Modelling) will help in helping to increase the project quality and safety while minimizing project cost and schedules that have been stated in the construction documents by both parties, most especially for the client sake monitoring;
Where the creations of the Autodesk REVIT, the project development have had allowed communicating detailed design with the entire team in the design and construction process efficiently and accurately at all aspects;
BIM in general, the project visualizations will help us to convey the technical aspects of every engineering designs for the clients to understand everything that may need further visualization a justification and evidence for the projects;
Using BIM (Building Information Modelling), in particular, will help them in securing a better understanding of those designs as far as AEC is concerned;
Through BIM (Building Information Modelling) will create a visual collaboration that enables us (Engineers, Designers, Stakeholders, and the Clients) to translate of individual needs into optimal solutions to simplify the coordination in the design stages and construction process;
Overall, this will create and have a multi-discipline understanding of a project that may help further inform of design alternatives and decision-making for a perfect solution without compromising the needs of the project.
Arguments
Adoption in the country, I may say that has been practicing for the decades now, where most of the top list companies in the world have had provided and implemented in the GEC Branches. And through outsourcing like for example in the Philippines, India, and other low-income wages whereas most of the projects in practices we have had in the Middle East have brought to them for the final output.
Once done and finished, and secured with the client approvals concerning the conceptual design, schematic design, and detailed design; the project brought to the GEC (Global Employment Company) Branches and from them has to deliver on time and will have to bring back to the leading company entirely using BIM. However, in my understanding like for examples, the PALAFOX, the DCCD and other known Consulting Firms in the Philippines or even in the developing countries are dealing with the benefits of BIM in their projects and have had adopted them exactly the same what we have known from Singaporean Consulting Firms and other Consulting Firms from around the world. Thereby, most of the companies are now motivated using the project coordination and documentation efficiencies as the significant benefits of BIM (Building Information Modelling) actually, whereas benefitting the company status as an innovator to simplify the design and construction projects. However, as an experienced design engineer gained from the AEC Firms where most of my career had been developed throughout the years and BIM exposure, indeed, it takes different views whereas they are putting into project visualization at the top of the list as they are graphically-oriented, to be honest.
Conclusion
As a conclusion, BIM (Building Information Modelling, e.g., Figure 01) adoption has been practicing in the developing countries not only in the developed countries as these are already mandated not only for the clients need but for the stakeholders, whereas the model enables those who interact with the building to optimize their actions, resulting in a greater whole life value for the asset. However, some of the companies like for example in the Philippines are still using the conventional way with AutoCAD, and that is the reality. Because upgrading to BIM technology, you need to have a high value of capital to make it worthwhile. Notwithstanding, some affiliated and International Consulting Firms we have, like for example in the Philippines are using BIM (Building Information Modelling) and adoption, for me is mandatory as technology evolves, we need to equip ourselves with the latest trends to simplify all issues what we have experienced conventionally.

“The article paper is an essay reflecting on the present status of the Manila Bay and was composed to express the happiness and thankful as well serve as a document in reclaiming through massive clean-up by the inter-government agencies under the Duterte administration initiative for the people. Because of Duterte’s strong political will and love to the country, he only did what he has promised to the Filipino people during the campaign and that was one of his programs, an environmental clean-up in destroying the graft and corrupt practitioner throughout his agencies around the country and that is now happening in his leadership. However, the so-called, “Battle for Manila Bay” has continuously opposed by several politicians and several sectors have fabricated with any allegation of wrongdoing as nuisances and exploited for only one goal in driving Duterte out of Malacanang.

Figure 01, Unsustainable Mining done by the Mining Companies (image credit; anonymous) “Because of greed politicians and paganic catholicism in the country, the Philippines suffered from their colorful tongue and the richest that supposed to be for the Filipinos and goes to the oligarchs. Sad to say but that’s the scenario in the country and Juan de la Cruz becomes poorer all of his life!” Insight The Philippines is one of the richest that can’t be imagined by the country’s citizens, and it’s because of the oligarch wealthiest people in the country and the government officials who molested Juan de la Cruz and fattened their pocket for their benefits. And this is most likely what happens to my beloved OPHIRIANS who suffered for long years that supposed to be for them. On whatever they did will serve as one of the unethical environmental behavior in spite that the author loves the beauty of the environment as it was, however, the government officials are tremendously pr...
