Building Information Modelling (BIM)

The United Kingdom’s Building Information Modelling [BIM] Standards are a tried and tested way to work more efficiently and effectively in a digital environment. They are helping organisations to improve their performance and reduce their risk by introducing collaborative ways of working ensuring that the same accurate data can be accessed throughout the supply chain. The standardisation of BIM Level 2 has underpinned and created the building blocks for the UK’s journey towards a digital built Britain.

The Centre for Digital Built Britain supported a series of events at this year’s Digital Construction Week [DCW], from keynotes to panel sessions, giving insights into the work of the centre and exploring the opportunities associated with the digital transformation of our built environment and how it can help address many of the industry’s biggest challenges.

CDBB and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) teamed up for the second event in a programme of high-level ‘roundtable’ discussions, which aim to further accelerate adoption of the Government’s digital strategy for the built environment, especially the successful embedment of BIM across industry.

This week the CDBB Home Nations Working Group [HNWG] meeting will be hosted in Northern Ireland, bringing together the four national BIM programmes with the purpose of developing consistency of messaging and promoting a shared understanding of the value proposition afforded by a co-ordinated approach to a digitised UK built environment. BIM Communications Manager David Philp updates on what to expect.
