Re-invigorating our industry with BIM


As we move towards smart cities and a digital revolution for our buildings and infrastructure, information will play an increasingly significant role. BIM is an important step towards realising this vision - redefining and challenging how we deliver projects in our industry, changing everything from the tools we use, the skills we require and our relationships with clients.


AT A PROJECT LEVEL


• BIM encourages us to collaborate across the supply chain, helping reduce costs and errors.


• BIM requires us to start with the end in mind – thinking about how the asset will be operated and maintained across the whole portfolio. So we think explicitly about how to capture the information so it can be used by the people who will have to manage the asset over the long term.


• BIM allows us to view the buildings strengths and infrastructure virtually before they are constructed and before they start being operated. This provides a deeper understanding of how they will work so the long-term impact of a project on its surroundings is considered and clients can be assured that the buildings, structures and infrastructure can be operated and maintained efficiently, safely, resiliently and effectively.
