Open BIM Key To AEC Future, Says TechnoStruct Founder

17 Nov 2025 CW Team

Representing a brand recognised for advancing BIM adoption across global infrastructure projects, Roy shared insights on how Open BIM is redefining collaboration, capability and capacity in the AEC sector. He stressed that genuine digital progress depends on interoperability and transparency at every phase of a project.

“The real power of Open BIM lies not just in technology, but in how it enables capability enhancement and scalable capacity across teams and geographies,” Roy Aniruddha said. “When data and design flow freely, we unlock consistency, efficiency and innovation across every stage of the project lifecycle.”

He highlighted capability and capacity as dual challenges facing firms adopting Open BIM workflows. While many organisations aspire to digitise, he said success depends on building the right skills and operational depth to sustain BIM practices across multiple projects.

Under Roy’s leadership, TechnoStruct Group has been working to position BIM as a collaborative ecosystem rather than simply a project tool. The company’s work across the US, the Middle East and India reflects its focus on delivering end-to-end BIM solutions with consistency, scalability and precision across varied project portfolios.

Speaking also as an educator, Roy noted that BIM adoption is not merely about visual clarity or compliance with standards such as ISO 19650. It requires developing a structured, sustainable mindset within organisations. Many professionals, he observed, view BIM as a one-off project requirement; true transformation begins when teams shift from an ad-hoc approach to a learning-driven, process-focused methodology.

“Capability building must go hand in hand with capacity creation,” he said. “Architects, engineers and project managers need to understand the process flow behind BIM tools, not just how to operate them. That is when implementation becomes consistent and meaningful.”

The discussion concluded with Roy emphasising that Open BIM is no longer a future aspiration but a present-day necessity. As the AEC industry evolves, he said open data environments will be critical in bridging gaps between architecture, engineering and construction disciplines.

The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector saw a rich exchange of ideas at Digicon India 2025, where industry leaders convened to discuss the digital transformation reshaping the built environment. A highlight of the event was a panel discussion on “Open BIM and Its Potential on the Future of the AEC Community”, featuring Roy, Founder of TechnoStruct Group, as a key panellist. Representing a brand recognised for advancing BIM adoption across global infrastructure projects, Roy shared insights on how Open BIM is redefining collaboration, capability and capacity in the AEC sector.
