CIBSE SEMINAR BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING MODEL


he construction industry has an opportunity to help lift itself out of the doldrums. After years of zero growth in industrial output, the integration


and collaboration facilitated by the Building Information Modelling (BIM) approach is seen as a prime opportunity to lift output. Government is mandating fully collaborative 3D BIM as a minimum for public works by 2016, this is a precursor to creating an intelligent client – one that has a better understanding and surety, using the data for decision making, to manage risks

Philp looked forward to the nascent ‘regional BIM hubs’, where the necessary skills could be disseminated to reach a far wider industrial community
