CONSTRUCTION PROJECT INFORMATION

Promoting collaborative working within the construction industry

Welcome to CPIC - the Construction Project Information Committee, responsible for providing best practice guidance on the content, form and preparation of construction production information, and making sure this best practice is disseminated throughout the UK construction industry.

The diagrams on this page are from CIAT.  Drawings are extracts from winning entries from the CIAT Student Award for Technical Excellence in Architectural Technology 2008.

Unifying Uniclass - consultation

Proposed changes to the UK construction sector’s classification system, Uniclass – why and how

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.
