Bilal Succar

I'm a Melbourne-based BIM strategist and consultant experienced in advising and assisting organisations towards adopting Building Information Modelling technologies, processes and policies.

Trained and educated as an interior designer, I have worked for more than twelve years as designer and project leader before focusing on process design and information technologies. I gained extensive field experience by coordinating major architectural, interior design and interdisciplinary projects in many markets.

Academically, I undertook postgraduate studies in Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management under the Applied Management in Architecture banner. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Building Information Modelling, Interoperability and Process Integration (University of Newcastle, NSW - Australia). During 2008, I worked with RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) as a researcher focusing exclusively on the BIM National Guidelines and Case Studies project.
Continuously aligning research investigation with my consultancy work, I focus on BIM-specific performance improvement, change and knowledge management as areas of continuous interest and involvement.

Over many years, I have been involved in the selection, creation and implementation of IT-driven processes and management systems. In 2004, I established ChangeAgents AEC, a consultancy practice specialising in BIM strategies, process change and knowledge management for Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sectors.

I'm a member of BuildingSmart, Australasia Chapter and other BIM-related groups.
