Building Information Modelling Awareness

Construction makes a significant contribution to the UK economy representing around 10% of GDP and employing 3 million people across the industry. However, ways of working are inefficient, wasteful and do not always result in the desired outcomes. BIM provides the opportunity to change this situation by making use of technology and reforming working practices to achieve significant economic and social benefits. It relates to BS8536.
The UK government aims to procure all publicly funded construction projects to what is now called BIM Level 2. Yet many people in the construction industry do not yet know what BIM is about, what it entails and how to get themselves or their organisation BIM ready.
