Adopting Building information modelling (BIM) for managing information from concept to grave means sharing information with the right people at the right time and requires a unified approach to classification. The current UK standard classification, Uniclass, consists of a number of tables that provide a good framework but it is not well aligned for mapping from one table to another.
A set of tables are now available as the first phase of the consultation process in which you are invited to comment and help develop the Unified Uniclass. These tables are the work section tables that will take over from tables J (CAWS) and K.
An industry trial version of the CPIx Uniclass web based tool is now available from this website under the CPIx on line tools tab.
The CPIx Protocol Guide and Toolkit is a set of guidance notes, forms and checklists intended to help clients and their project teams develop a Project Information exchange Protocol for their projects. This on line tool is coming soon.
A Dti funded project that used live projects to measure the effectiveness of implementing the procedures set out in the CPIC publication Production Information.
