RICS BIM Conference

Posted on by in Uncategorized | Comments Off on RICS BIM Conference

Pioneered by cutting edge professionals this collaborative, integrated working process is set to revolutionise the construction sector redefining the relationships between construction professionals.

This conference aims to dispel the myth that BIM is simply a technology issue and explains how the adoption of BIM will require changes in workflow, practices and procedures. Specifications, regulations, costs and products will have to be standardised.

With a keynote address from Paul Morrell, the Government’s Chief Construction Adviser, the day will open with a review of the Government’s expectations of BIM followed by an exciting programme that examines the changing roles of quantity surveyors and project mangers, legal and contractual implications and importantly the clients’ perspective on BIM.

Sessions on the practical implications on cost planning and collaborative working and the impact of BIM on infrastructure projects make this a must attend event for construction professionals.

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from industry experts understanding how BIM will impact you and how it can benefit your business

The new section classification system for specification

Posted on by in Uncategorized | Comments Off on The new section classification system for specification

Construction Project Information (CPI) promulgates Uniclass (which includes the Common Arrangement of Work Sections – CAWS) nationally. CPI committee members comprise representatives from RIBA, RICS, UKCG, ICE, CIBSE, CIAT and CIOB.

CPI established its Uniclass Working Group in 2006, to consider proposals for revision of the Tables in Uniclass. This has resulted in the release of a new Table, Z, for CAD, and the development of a Uniclass On line Tool for generating layer classifications from the Uniclass tables and for requesting new classifications. Tables under review within the Working Group include those for Construction Entities (Table E), Elements (Tables G and H) and Work Sections (Tables J and K). It has been agreed that the Elements Tables should be combined, and that the Work Sections Tables should be combined.

NBS has contributed particularly to the review of the Work Sections Tables, through its reworking of Table J (CAWS) in order to support the new NBS. The NBS proposals have been endorsed in principle by the Working Group, but have yet to be endorsed formally by CPIC itself.

The work that NBS has done on Work Sections has also led to proposals from NBS for the unifying of Uniclass, which could affect all the Tables eventually, but would affect just the Facilities (D), Construction Entities (E), Spaces (F), Elements (G&H), Work Sections (J&K) and Products (L) Tables to start with. New Tables might also be developed as a result of this proposal, e.g. for Activities. Again, these proposals have been endorsed in principle by the Working Group, but have yet to be endorsed formally by CPI itself.

ICE BIM conference

Posted on by in Uncategorized | Comments Off on ICE BIM conference

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been around for years. It is only now that we are beginning to see the tipping point past which BIM will be used on the majority of construction projects in the future.

On 31 May 2011 the Government’s Construction Strategy set out a firm commitment to requiring the use of BIM on all its assets by 2016. There has never been a better time to ensure that your organisation is ‘BIM ready’.

Join 200 heads of industry at ICE BIM 2011 where an expert speaker line up will guide delegates through the BIM project lifecycle and share experiences and best practice. The day will consist of detailed case studies and discussions on how BIM can be of benefit throughout the supply chain, and will focus on:

  • The client view
  • Supply chain delivery
  • Support
  • Asset management

CPI support this conference. For further details see the ICE website
