Editorial

The QuantX BIM Editorial Team

A small in-house team that researches, writes and reviews everything published in our journal — across the same subjects we work in every day.

Who writes this

People who work in this industry, writing about it

Our articles are written and reviewed in-house rather than outsourced. The team sits alongside the people delivering BIM models, coordination and take-off for real projects, which means an article can be checked against what actually happens on a live job before it goes out.

We track how the technology is evolving — new releases, shifting standards, what is being adopted and what is quietly being abandoned — and translate it into something an architect, contractor or developer can use without wading through vendor material.

What we cover

Six standing subject areas, each followed continuously rather than written once and left alone.

Our beats

What the team follows

BIM trends & technology

Authoring tools, openBIM and IFC, LOD, ISO 19650 and where the standards are actually heading.

Digital delivery & automation

4D and 5D workflows, quantity take-off, clash detection, reality capture and the automation around them.

Construction management

Scheduling, cost control, procurement, risk and quality — the disciplines that decide whether a project lands.

IT & digital in construction

Common data environments, ERP and SaaS, field apps, analytics and security for construction businesses.

Industry, business & people

Market shifts, skills, contracts and the commercial realities of running an AEC firm.

Sustainability & green building

Embodied carbon, energy modelling, certifications and materials, judged on evidence rather than marketing.

How we work

Our editorial approach

1

We follow the sources, not the press releases

Standards bodies, vendor release notes, research and what practitioners report — read first-hand before anything gets written.

2

We write for people doing the work

Every article is aimed at someone with a deadline: what changed, why it matters on a live project, and what to do about it.

3

We review before we publish

Drafts are checked against our own delivery experience — if we would not stand behind a claim on a client project, it does not ship.

4

We revisit as things move

Standards, tools and pricing change. Articles get updated when the ground under them shifts.

Corrections & contributions

Found something wrong? Tell us.

We would rather fix an article than defend it. If something we published is out of date, incomplete or simply wrong, send it over and we will correct it — and credit you if you would like.

We also welcome suggestions for subjects you would like covered, and guest perspectives from practitioners.
