The Cabinet Office published the Government’s new Construction Strategy on 31 May 2011.
The report announced the Government's intention to require collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) on its projects by 2016.
The decision of the Government Construction Clients Board, Chaired by Paul Morrell, the Government Chief Construction Adviser, to adopt BIM, based on the following report from the Industry working group convened by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. The report contains a suggested roadmap and strategy to enable the progressive use of BIM on Government building programmes, and a framework for procurement and delivery standards.
The Building Information Modelling (BIM) Working Party Strategy is available to all our members and visitors.
In addition to the publication of this report, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills would like to open a discussion forum on the report, and encourage participation from members of the Modern Built Environment and other Knowledge Networks.
To participate please join the MBEKTN's Process & Operational Efficiency Group, where we will discuss how Industry and Government’s activities can be best shaped to meet the BIM challenge.
The BIM report was published today on the KTN website https://ktn.innovateuk.org/web/modernbuiltktn/articles/-/blogs/new-construction-strategy?ns_33_redirect=%2Fweb%2Fmodernbuiltktn%2Farticles
