NBS is to take forward the development of the BIM toolkit. This digital toolkit for BIM has the potential to transform the procurement of buildings and infrastructure. Free to use, the BIM toolkit will make available a digital plan of work and a classification system which incorporates definitions for over 5,000 construction objects at each of the delivery stages throughout the life of a built environment asset. It is a vital part of the jigsaw required to reach level 2 BIM by 2016. NBS will be posting updates and news on this site keeping enabling the entire construction industry to be engaged and involved in this important development.

This white paper report was put together to summarise the CBx breakfast briefing “Benefiting from BIM”, held at UCL Energy Institute, London on 5 June 2014. An open discussion was held around the role of building information modelling (BIM) in data management and the feedback between design and operations, exploring how the promotion of (BIM) has the potential to dramatically improve the way data is captured during the design phase and handed onto the end user.

In this webinar, to be held between 11.00am and 12 noon on 15 May 2014, Robin Partington and Partners (RPP) will focus on two London based projects, Park House on Oxford Street and the Merchant Square development at Paddington. RPP will outline the ongoing evolution of their workflow, showing how the practice has moved from a typical 3D workflow towards a BIM integrated process. During the presentation of Park House, they will describe how their 3D workflow enabled them to overcome various diverse challenges such as the successful reintegration of a city block, to the cutting-edge resolution of the complex roof geometry. By comparison, the Merchant Square project will show how using Bentley’s AECOsim Building Designer product has enabled their 3D workflow to develop into an asset-rich output, which has major advantages moving forward.
