I hope you don't mind, but I have changed the link to Satellier, as it currently looks like advertising (see section on "Bias" at the policy article "Neutral Point of View"), and have linked it instead to the resources page at that firm. I have also removed the signature, as that is not standard for Wikipedia articles. Sorry Kris!

Satellier LLC a Chicago headquartered Architecture Offshore Partnering company offering high end BIM services for its clients.

I have removed the following section because it is not supported by any references. I am sure that there are some references out there, though.

Experts project that nearly three-fourths of all design development will be executed with BIM software within the next ten years. That shift could cost millions for each firm, as they create new capacities and adapt to an unfamiliar format.

I have extracted some of the following information and included it in a new introduction to the term.

The building design and construction industry is currently undergoing a generational shift to Building Information Modeling. BIM greatly enhances productivity by allowing easy retrieval of embedded information such as quantities, specifications and manufacturer’s details, and provides interactive links between architectural, engineering and construction-related information.

I added some information giving the contracting point of view.

If Bentley, AutoDesk and Graphisoft are going to be included in Internal AND External links, then it is appropriate that VectorWorks and Nemetschek N.A be listed also. VW has had BIM functionality far longer than any of AutoDesks products and at least as long as Bentley and Graphisoft.

I agree with NNAACD that if one is in then they all should be. I am not sure that we want to have them in both the section on "Software" and "External Links" though, as is currently the case with Nemetschek. There is also a general issue with "spam", and I think that on this basis we need to at least remove the reference to "Tecton Limited", as the linked site adds no more information. At least Satellier and RCMS link to their knowledge-bases. Gehry Technologies (which is based on Dassault's CATIA) should probably be moved to the "Software" section, since their site does not provide any general information as far as I can see. Any comments? If no counter-argument is made, then I shall do this tomorrow.
