The 1st presentation was by Dr. Krishna Mochtar of Indonesia on the "Problems in Materials and Equipment Procurement of Indonesian Contractors.  He highlighted that due to the geographical spread of Indonesia, logistics pose major problems and therefore variables in cost between the more developed western part of Indonesia and the less developed part of Indonesia.

The 2nd presentation was by Dr. Yi-Hsin (Carrie) Lin from the South East University of Nanjing, China.  Her paper was on the Evaluation of Competitiveness of International and Chinese Contractors using the "Back Propagation Neural Network" technique. The presentation demonstrated in which particular area where competitiveness lies and clearly demonstrated that Chinese contractors are increasingly competitive compared to their competitors from more advanced countries particularly in infrastructure and transportation related projects. 

At the end of the session the FIG Commission 10 chair, SeeLian Ong took the opportunity to share his views on the development of BIM and provide insights on the global maturity in the adoption of BIM. Download presentation
