Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the collaborative process of creating a digital, 3D representation of a project containing information on all of its physical and functional characteristics and those of its components, thus forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; from initial concept through to demolition.

 

BIM has been around for a considerable time, but it has gained significant momentum in the UK since the announcement in May 2011, by the Government Chief Construction Advisor Paul Morrell, that collaborative BIM will be required on all Government construction projects of £5 million and over by 2016 – telling construction professionals to adopt BIM or be “Betamaxed out”.

 

As a result, building professionals are looking to adopt this new technology now more than ever – and they are increasingly expecting to see components from building product manufacturers to use in their modelling.

 

Responding to this demand, The Building Centre is now providing specifiers with a new free way to access the latest BIM content through specifinder.com.
