What is BIM? (Building Information Modelling)

BIM is the management of information through the whole life cycle of a built asset, from initial design all the way through to construction, maintaining and finally de-commissioning, through the use of digital modelling. It's all about collaboration - between engineers, owners, architects and contractors in a three dimensional virtual construction environment (common data environment), and it shares information across these disciplines. 

Building information modelling allows design and construction teams to communicate about design and coordinate information across different levels that has been unseen before. This information remains with the project, from before beginning construction, right throughout its lifetime. It also helps to analyze any potential impacts.

We can help your built environment organization accelerate progress, whether it’s around digital security, sustainable materials or health and safety.

What are the benefits?

Through the use of Building Information Modelling and BIM certification, the following key benefits can be gained:

  • Faster and efficient processes
  • Increased productivity and speeds up delivery
  • Reduced uncertainty
  • Controlled whole-life costs and environmental data
  • Avoidance of rework costs
  • Improved safety
  • Opportunity to secure Government contracts
  • Reduced on-site waste
  • Prevention of errors

Training

Certification

BSI is the global leader in building information modelling (BIM) certification, and are the only provider of the prestigious BSI Kitemark certification for BIM. In a competitive market, the BSI Kitemark enables you to differentiate your BIM projects and prove your credentials in relation to the industry recognized standard for the design and construction phase.

We can provide the following BIM certifications: BSI Kitemark for BIM design and construction, BSI Kitemark for BIM asset management, BSI Kitemark for BIM objects, BSI Kitemark for BIM asset lifecycle, BSI Kitemark for BIM software. We also provide BIM certificate of conformity (formerly BIM verification).
