David Philp has joined Aecom from Mace, which he joined only in January 2013 as head of BIM. Before that, he was with Balfour Beatty.
Mr Philp is also head of BIM implementation at the Cabinet Office where he is responsible for the mobilisation and implementation of Level Two BIM across central government’s property portfolio. He will continue in this role alongside his new position at Aecom.
At Aecom, he will work alongside technology & data solutions chief David Bennison and Elizabeth Peters, who is BIM centre lead in the Middle East.

His main responsibilities will be to improve consistency in the company’s approach to BIM internationally.
John Horgan, Aecom managing director for EMEA and India, said, “Aecom is home to thousands of professionals who are already using BIM in a data rich environment to support a collaborative, rapid decision-making process that adds value to our clients’ projects. David’s experience will further enhance our BIM capabilities, bringing leading edge UK expertise to the wider EMEAI geography.”
Mr Philp said: “The fact that Aecom’s design, build, finance and operate model encompasses the entire asset lifecycle is exciting and I look forward to experiencing a fully multi-disciplinary offer, powered by BIM, in execution as never before. There is an extremely solid foundation to build on with digital tools and processes already in position. BIM is very much an enabler and will help us virtually prototype our solutions so we are able to pass on the benefits achieved through optimisation and greater efficiency to our clients.”
