The Construction Innovation BIM workshops provide the building and construction industry: owners, designers, constructors and building operators/managers, the chance for input into the National BIM Guidelines and Case Studies Project which will conclude in December 2008.
The two-year Business Drivers for BIM research project investigated the nature of economic, process and industry constraints to BIM adoption and identified business strategies and models that may support adoption of BIM in the architecture, engineering, construction and facility management sectors.
The workshops will focus on the latest draft of the National BIM Guidelines. This will be the final open forum for industry consultation and feedback. Attendees are requested to register to obtain a copy of the draft Guidelines to critique, and come with comments and questions.
The Guidelines aim to address the whole building life cycle and the way project information is created, shared, used and amended by all project participants through Building Models.
