Last name<\/strong>: \u0160ajn<\/p>\n

Chapter<\/strong>: Slovenia<\/p>\n

Role in the Chapter<\/strong>: Chair<\/p>\n

Where are you based? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I am based in Ljubljana, capital city of Slovenia.<\/p>\n

When was your first interaction or involvement with buildingSMART<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

I think that my first interaction was in 2018, when I attended buildingSMART conference in London.<\/p>\n

Tell us a little about your work history\/professional journey, and how it led you to buildingSMART. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u00b4m civil engineer and I founded my own software company CGS in 1990. During the last 30+ years I gained a lot of experience in CAD and BIM. Being involved with buildingSMART was just a logical next step for me.<\/p>\n

What do you like the most about the work you do within your Chapter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to promote new technologies and I like work with people.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What would you say are the biggest successes or milestones to date within your Chapter? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly, Slovenian Chapter organized and hosted the buildingSMART International Council and Chapter conference in June 2023, held at Brdo pri Kranju in Slovenia. I think that we all enjoyed this event very much. Secondly, it\u00b4s BIM mandate that we have prepared with the Slovenian government, valid from 1.1.205.<\/p>\n

What does openBIM mean to you personally<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

It means freedom and democratic approach to making business.<\/p>\n

What overriding challenge(s) do you see the community facing today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Learning about possibilities, which new technologies like openBIM bring.<\/p>\n

What challenge(s) do you encounter within your Chapter? <\/strong><\/p>\n

There is always some lack of human and financial resources. But with good motivation we overcome these challenges.<\/p>\n

What do you see as the main opportunities for your market<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

There are still many, many companies and organizations, which can benefit from openBIM concept. We should make them aware of it.<\/p>\n

With digitalization becoming more prevalent, how is your Chapter addressing the challenges and opportunities it brings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think it\u00b4s all about people and their relations. Networking is an important part of our mission.<\/p>\n

What are your visions and\/or aspirations for the future, both for your Chapter and for buildingSMART internationally? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope that we can professionalize our work at Chapter and have a stronger impact on local community.<\/p>\n
