Building Information Modelling (BIM) is used for creating and managing digital
information during the planning, design, construction, and operations process.
BIM combines multi-disciplinary data from engineers, architects, owners and
contractors to produce detailed digital representations that are managed in an
open cloud platform for real-time collaboration.
BIM Uses
Existing condition modelling
Design authoring
Coordination & Clash Detection
Design Reviews
Drawings production
Schedules/ Quantity takeoff
Visuals – Images, Flythrough
Cost Estimation
Field Information
Asset Management

Why should business adopt BIM now?
Any engagement with the construction industry will soon only be via BIM!
The UK Government has mandated the requirement for all public sector projects must be designed and built using ‘Collaborative Level 2 BIM’ in 2016
The Digital Built Britain strategy describes the BIM Level 3 approach by 2025
Most of our competitors have already adopted BIM in most aspects of their businesses.
