We provide expertise in digital design and data management with over 60 years of combined technical experience and extensive industry. Our specialist knowledge has allowed us to develop a wide variety of services that address the needs of our customers\u2019 across multiple industries to enable them to design, visualise, and simulate to the highest standard.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is to help you optimise your design process. Whether you are in the architecture, plant or construction industries, we have the experience to understand your business and what you are trying to achieve, and we have the expertise to enable you to do it better. It takes many activities and skills to bring the ideas and designs of Architects\/Engineers to fulfilment. Building Information Modelling (BIM) attempts to standardise the creation and exchange of information to make the design, construction and operational management of a facility or infrastructure asset more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that BIM is not just about buildings, but in its wildest context is being applied to facility, building, road, railway, and infrastructure projects. It is also now very much impacting organisations throughout the supply chain including manufacturers, fabricators and interior designers.<\/p>\n<p>The word \u2018building\u2019 in itself also doesn\u2019t necessarily describe the full scope of a project \u2013 it doesn\u2019t cover policies, assumptions, strategic decisions, supply chain, specification, user assessment, regulation and recycling sustainability. All are key parts of the projects \u2018information model\u2019 and should be included in the creation of the facility or asset information as the project progresses.<\/p>\n<p>BIM covers all aspects of the project lifecycle and is being driven by UK Government, to ensure that all public sector projects are under-pinned by the creation, collation and exchange or shared 3D models and intelligent structured data that is attached to them. UK Government has defined a minimum requirement for Level 3 BIM by 2016, which defines a series of domain models and the provision of a single electronic environment to store shared data and information.<\/p>\n<p>With the enormous amount of data and press available on the subject, making the right choices to begin your own BIM journey and maximise the return on your investment is critical. Man and Machine offer a variety of solutions and services to help you understand the impact of BIM and the market opportunity that it presents throughout the supply chain. The solutions and services include BIM-based products, modelling and measurement solutions, BIM deployment programs, training and consultancy.<\/p>\n<p>Contact us today for more information, call 01844 263763, email marketing@manandmachine.co.uk, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manandmachine.co.uk\/BIM\">www.manandmachine.co.uk\/BIM<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/@ManandMachineUK \">@ManandMachineUK <\/a>on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h3>Kirsty Walker<\/h3>\n<p>Marketing Manager<\/p>\n<p>Man and Machine<\/p>\n<p>Unit 8 Thame 40<\/p>\n<p>Jane Morbey Road<\/p>\n<p>Thame<\/p>\n<p>OX9 3RR<\/p>\n<p>Tel: 01844 263700<\/p>\n<p>marketing@manandmachine.co.uk<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.manandmachine.co.uk\">www.manandmachine.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kirsty Walker, Marketing Manager of Man and Machine discuss how making the right choices to begin your own BIM journey and maximise the return on your investment is critical\u2026 Established in 1989, Man and Machine is part of a pan-European group, operating in 11 countries, with over 750 staff and over 500,000 installed CAD seats.
