News CIC BIM2050 looks at our digital future
BIM2050 group has published its much anticipated Built Environment 2050: A Report on our Digital Future. The BIM2050 group was formed
by the Construction Industry Council (CIC) in September 2012 and com- prises 18 young construction pro- fessionals under the chairmanship of David Philp, head of BIM, HM Government UK BIM Task Group. The report, a compilation of
essays authored by BIM2050 work stream leads, is the result of the
group’s research into what an inter- disciplinary scope of work may look like as construction technol- ogy develops to BIM Level 3 and beyond, towards 2050. It provides an assessment of the current situa- tion and makes proposals for future development. The focus of the report rests on
three key areas - education and skills, technology and process and the cul- ture of integration. It highlights the risks and challenges, and the oppor-
tunities and benefits that come with large scale innovation and game changing new technologies. David Philp, BIM2050 chair,
said: “This report envisions what the construction industry may be like come 2050 against the back- drop of a digitised built environ- ment and what interventions should be considered if they are to be future-wise and seize the opportu- nity that an innovative and techno- logically advanced future offers.”
