The General Services Administration has mandated that new buildings designed through its Public Buildings Service use building information modeling in the design stage. GSA's mandate covers the design phase, but advocates of the technology say it has far-ranging potential for use in ongoing facility management. Federal Computer Week

Except that they are unwilling to pay for the teams they select to migrate to BIM. They don't require that the teams that are being considered for the projects have BIM experience, or have it in house; but once the project is there - oh boy!
well...as Thom Mayne suggested previously re: BIM, either get on the bus or get left behind. The [large corporate] firm that I work for has BIM capability, but we haven't transitioned yet (we don't do GSA work so this mandate doesn't effect us directly).
