National BIM Report 2016 National BIM Report 2016 Introduction 03 We would like to thank Introduction the following organisations Richard Waterhouse for supporting this report: CEO, NBS and RIBA Enterprises BIM – the wider landscape of 04 infrastructure, and the convergence with geospatial We are releasing this report just as the UK Government’s BIM mandate has come into force. Dr Anne Kemp From 4 April 2016, centrally procured construction projects now need to achieve BIM Level 2. Atkins Director and Fellow of BIM, Geospatial and Digital Engineering This is a significant milestone in the UK’s BIM journey, and in this report we show the industry’s assessment of its own readiness to reach this milestone. Working towards a unified approach 08 In some ways we are well set. In the five years This fits with the Government’s broader to BIM in Europe since the former Chief Construction Adviser, digitisation goal. The digitisation of the Adam Matthews Paul Morrell, set the course for Level 2 BIM UK construction industry will bring with it Chairman of the EU BIM Task Group and Head as part of the Government’s Construction rapidly improving levels of innovation and of International for the UK BIM Task Group Richard Waterhouse Strategy, BIM usage has moved from a niche productivity: improvements we can see in CEO, NBS and RIBA practice to the norm. BIM adoption is now at other sectors. The Government’s construction BIM Task Group – April 4 mandate 14 Enterprises 54%, up from 48% last year. Eighty six percent strategy for an industry delivering: an ‘internationally unparalleled of respondents intend to have adopted BIM by – Lower costs; achievement on our BIM journey’ this time next year, and 97% within five years. Mark Bew MBE – Faster delivery; Chair of the HM Government BIM Task Group However, concerns remain. A significant number tell us that they are not clear on – Lower emissions; and Meeting the mandate – 16 what they have to do to comply with the BIM – Improvement in exports the Mott MacDonald story mandate, and only one in ten believes that the construction industry is ready to deliver will, and can only be, delivered through BIM. Andrew Moulds Associate at Mott MacDonald on it. Aligned to this is a broader skills gap We are already part of the way there. The UK in BIM, with a quarter feeling they lack the has a world-leading design community that skills and knowledge that they need. Introducing the Periodic Table of BIM 22 contributes very positively to our balance of payments. We are delivering world-class Stefan Mordue As a collaborative practice, BIM requires construction projects, such as the 2012 Architect and NBS Business Solutions Consultant, NBS a shared ownership of the design and Olympics and Crossrail. BIM is playing a construction process. Through this shared significant role in increasing the efficiency BIM Survey: Summary of findings 28 ownership will come shared learning, of government construction spending. as well as the iterative development and Adrian Malleson In 2014/15, the Government saved £855m Head of Research, Analysis and Forecasting, NBS implementation of improved practice. on existing schemes, allowing for investment This level of collaboration opens up new in new ones.

BIM Working Group 2 3 National BIM Report 2016 BIM – the wider landscape of infrastructure, and the convergence with geospatial As we move forward in our progression of not only technology, process and data, but This leads to a dilemma and a challenge for The need for accurate asset information for BIM implementation across the infrastructure more importantly the human dimension at a the open standards community which, until large infrastructure managers (e.g. utility industry, I am realising that some of our most behavioural and psychological level.
