There is much debate across the surveying sector on the use of BIM and how it can generate greater efficiencies throughout an asset’s lifecycle, and none more so than the discussions coming out of the Royal Institute of Charter Surveyors (RICS).

We believe that the implementation of BIM is much more a change management task than simply throwing a bunch of software and document templates at an organisation and demanding the use of COBie, or more simplistically, Revit.
A new suite of guidance documents to support the international BIM standard ISO 19650-2 the delivery phase of assets and ISO 19650-3 the operational phase was released last month through the UK BIM Framework.
There are so many kitsch and jargon terms floating around the industry that we hear all the time – in everyday working and in academic publications – often without ever fully knowing what these terms mean.
Reduced risk, reduced waste and reduced time undoubtedly increases productivity and in return increases profit on construction projects, but how do we do this?
At BIM Academy we embraced the new ISO19650-3 standard, hoping it would build on the excellent PAS1192-3. We always believed that PAS1192-3 was the easiest of that series to read and digest, full of pragmatic advice about how to manage information better during the operational phase.
In early August we ran a webinar which gave critical insights into identifying digital skills and how to enhance digital knowledge and experience to maximise value for organisations and their projects.
Visualisation tools are extensively used by project planners in high level simulations. Planners use construction workspaces to conduct digital rehearsals for plant and equipment identifying dynamic clash detection at all stages of the project.
In June 2020, whilst still in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson invoked some of the 20th century’s most politically successful social reformists, announcing his government’s plan to spur economic growth in the wake of the Covid-19 epidemic.
In May 2018, Dame Judith Hackitt’s review into building regulations and fire safety was published. Commissioned by the government, Hackitt sought to review the circumstances which led to the tragedy of the Grenfell fire in June 2017. While the events of Grenfell remain firmly in our memories, the best way to honour the lives lost is to ensure that events such as this one never happen again.
