BIM Regional Hubs Events

A BIM Focus

Learning or extending your Building Information Modelling (BIM) knowledge through the BIM Hubs

In line with the launch of the BIM Regional hubs this autumn CIC, in conjunction with the BIM Task Group are running a series of FREE half day workshops across the UK to help educate attendees on all things BIM.

These workshops will feature presentations from BIM Task Group members who will explain the Government’s BIM policy and how you can engage with the new BIM Hubs. There will be local case studies which will illustrate the experience some organisations have had in implementing BIM, for example what business considerations were there, how their information management process changed, the legal implications and many other relevant influences that can have an effect or be affected by the BIM context.

There will be an opportunity for Q&A with the BIM Task Group members which will enhance the understanding of BIM issues and explain any concerns you may have. There will also be a chance to network with fellow professionals who also have an interest in understanding BIM and its benefits.

The BIM Hubs themselves will help raise awareness and the benefits of BIM to the industry as a whole and facilitate the early adoption of BIM processes and working methods throughout the UK’s construction industry as well as providing a valuable link into the BIM Task Group and the Government. At these events you will get a chance to find out more about how the BIM hubs will work in your area with an invitation to be involved and shape its future operation.

These events will be of interest to anyone within the Built Environment such as Practising construction professionals, Members of professional and trade bodies, Contractors, Asset and Facilities managers, Clients and Academia.
