Founding Director, Neil Reed, explains the business to UK Construction Media and how its services are helping companies achieve BIM capability.
“You need BIM to win work in the construction and infrastructure sectors.
Don’t panic. Help is at hand.”
You will, by now, be very aware of the 2016 mandate for BIM. But you may also be one of the many businesses for whom the door still seems closed and the massive implications of losing out on future work is causing significant alarm. Don’t panic. Help is at hand.
A recent survey for UK Construction Week showed that:
- 85% of respondents recognise BIM as a positive development for the industry.
- 96% say they need more support and training.
- 62% say they still don’t have a clear understanding of what is required.
The Problem
Despite a 5 year lead-in to the Government’s BIM Mandate, there is still a gap between businesses recognising the importance of BIM and those able to actually acquire or demonstrate BIM capability. So if you are one of the people who feel lost in the void, you are not alone.
You know you need to acquire and demonstrate BIM capability. To do that, you need help to find and assess the different options available for funding, support and certification. You need to understand all of these options, select the ones best suited to you and combine them into a practical, cost-effective solution to your needs. The reality is, you just don’t have the time and resource to do it all yourself.
Yet the ground you need to make up may not be as great as you imagine. BIM is achievable and there is help – including SME funding – available to help you close the gap. With clearly defined standards, support and certification all now available, you can be ready for 2016.
“If you sit in this gap, needing BIM capability but not sure how to get it,
ask for our help.”
The questions you frequently ask include:
- Does the BIM Mandate apply to me?
- Which BIM Standards apply to me?
- How will compliance help my business?
- Where do I find training or help to create the required processes and procedures?
- How much will it all cost and will I get a return on my investment?
- Are there grants available to help me?
BIMcert can provide you with answers to these and other questions. So if you don’t have the time or resource to do it all yourself, don’t worry, you don’t have to. BIMcert will do it for you.
