A new BIM development agreement has been signed between Tata Steel and BIMobject\u00ae to advance data delivery and provide flexibility for designers<\/h2>\n

A BIM development agreement has been announced between a major construction product manufacturer and a content management system firm.<\/p>\n

BIMobject\u00ae<\/a>, a provider of a cloud-based digital content management system for BIM objects, will work with Tata Steel UK<\/a>, Europe\u2019s second largest steel producer. The BIM development agreement will bring the two firms together to provide new tools for the advancement of data delivery.<\/p>\n

The technology will provide greater flexibility to designers by allowing data to be applied to products across the virtual construction world. It can then be used for a number of purposes within the built environment.<\/p>\n

The growing popularity of BIM<\/a>, as well as the government\u2019s push to ensure the industry moves towards utilising the technology, means there is certainly a growing need for accurate and relevant data to be provided for construction product manufacturers.<\/p>\n

It is hoped this agreement will not only lead the way for innovation in data delivery, but will also encourage other manufacturers to invest in the digital transformation in construction.<\/p>\n

Delivering high quality products through high quality data<\/h3>\n

Alex Small, BIM manager at Tata Steel said: \u201cWith the UK Government, and many private companies, now asking for BIM level 2<\/a>, Tata Steel needs to ensure that it is able to deliver not just high quality products, but the data, technology and services that are required to accompany them.<\/p>\n

“The move towards BIM level 3<\/a>, functional building efficiency and the \u2018Internet of Things\u2019 will all require new ways for Tata Steel to work with its customers and supply chain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt that the company will need to work ever more closely with specifiers in the future; and will therefore need to have digital tools that enable product information to be available in the formats they require.<\/p>\n

BIM has a major role to play in construction<\/h3>\n

Stefan Larsson, Founder and CEO of BIMobject\u00ae commented, stating: \u201cBIMobject\u00ae is leading the way in delivering product data and is delighted to be working with Tata Steel to deliver these necessary tools.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs BIM moves into an increasingly data rich environment it becomes even more important for construction product manufacturers to be sure they are providing accurate data and with the flexibility to adjust this as industry needs change.<\/p>\n

\u201cBIMobject\u00ae Open Property Cloud (BOPC) already offers architects, designers, and manufacturers, great flexibility in the management and provision of object data.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vision at Tata Steel, to better service its customers and to integrate existing Product Information Systems with BIM, strongly aligns with the BIMobject\u00ae vision and the company is delighted to be partnering with Tata Steel in the development and deployment of these new advanced technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n
