Building information modelling

Change is inevitable, progress is optional. This phrase has never been truer than when related to Building Information Modelling (BIM).

BIM has dramatically changed the way organisations operate within the built environment and its impact is a permanent and long-lasting one.

The challengeThe UK Government has embarked upon a four year programme of modernisation with the key objective of reducing the capital cost and carbon burden of the construction industry. Central to these ambitions is the adoption of BIM on all public funded projects by March 2016. But it’s not just the public sector that is affected. BIM’s inter-connected approach has been adopted by a wide range of stakeholders to inform effective decision making, while ensuring the construction model is consistent and coordinated. Ultimately – it allows architects, structural engineers, contractors, product manufacturers and project managers to collaborate, coordinate and communicate more effectively.

ProgressWe at Quadra Solutions are specialists in CAD software solutions. Our consultative approach has supported numerous partners to implement processes, which have enabled them to secure new business and improve their organisational efficiency, through training and technical support. We regularly hold Information Events which prepare organisations for the changes they will face and identify ways in which they can prepare for BIM compliancy and take advantage of opportunities in the future.
