BIM Survey gets Strong Support
The BIM survey finished last week with a very creditable close to 500 returns. The key purpose of the survey has been to provide the BIM Economic Study with up-to-date statistical data for economic benefits modelling. We will be publishing the general results in due course.
Thanks to all the individuals who participated, to the many industry organisations who distributed information to their members and to NATSPEC for hosting the survey.

We are developing a series of openBIM Tutorials
How do you use IFC to communicate between the disciplines on a project? We are commencing the development of a series of examples to show just how achievable this is using IFC. If you are interested in assisting in documenting such an exchange eg architect to structural engineer, architect to TA, structure to architect, building services to architect, sustainability, briefing, lighting costing etc, then please contact buildingSMART. We are committed to showing a diverse range of applications and vendors. More soon!
BEIIC - BIM Economic Study

These questions are the scope of a BIM Economic Study being managed by buildingSMART on behalf of now seven industry sponsors and the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.
Interoperability: How important are open standards?

Product Information for BIM
buildingSMART has identified the importance of rich product data for BIM users. At present many discipline groups are re-inventing or duplicating object libraries, a waste of expensive resources and in the absence of cross diciplinary guidelines.
