Mike Johnson created Johnson BIM, the gateway to BIM careers globally and the company that bears his name. A former Landscape Architect, after making the move to recruitment in 1988 he launched ‘SIV’ in 1992 before setting up Johnson BIM and making it his mission to connect BIM professionals with signature design teams from Arup to Zaha Hadid and leading contractors from Costain to Skanska.As a discipline, Mike saw very early on the scale of the impact BIM would have right across Architecture, Engineering, Construction and FM. Today he’s working closely with many BIM leaders to build centres of excellence, robust delivery teams and innovative long-term recruitment strategies. He has helped place more than 100 BIM professionals on landmark projects from HS2 to World Cup stadia, the award-winning Woodlands School in Basildon, No.1 Court at Wimbledon, Gutenborg in St. Petersburg, Astra Zeneca's new HQ, Battersea Power Station and many more.As for the future of BIM Mike only sees it growing in importance. All around the world more intelligent assets are being delivered thanks to BIM; here in the UK it is not just becoming a requirement for all public works but a standard in the private sector too. The gains are becoming increasingly apparent and Johnson BIM is helping to make them happen. With government positioning the UK as world leaders and exporting our BIM expertise the future looks very bright for BIM specialists.
