The UK BIM Alliance<\/a>\u2019s yearly State of the Nation survey aims to measure the understanding and adoption of information management using BIM across the UK\u2019s built environment<\/h2>\n

In its 2020 Annual Report, the UK BIM Alliance identified its \u201cgrand challenges\u201d for 2021 as being around the industry\u2019s awareness and people\u2019s understanding of information management using BIM<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to promote and support the industry\u2019s adoption of the UK BIM Framework and work with the community programmes to encourage industry to move away from BIM Level 2,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to shift the perception that BIM is all about 3D geometry and promote BIM for information<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Understanding information management for BIM<\/h3>\n

At the end of January, the alliance announced the launch of its annual State of the Nation survey<\/a> in order to measure the understanding and adoption of information management for BIM across the UK built environment.<\/p>\n

The aim is to draw a reliable indication of the progression to a \u201cbusiness-as-usual\u201d state for project delivery and asset management using the standards, tools and guidance provided by the UK BIM Framework<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Launched in October 2019, the UK BIM Framework was developed jointly by the UK BIM Alliance, the British Standards Institution and the Centre for Digital Built Britain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Its aim is to ensure the smooth transition from BIM Level 2 to the integration of the BS EN ISO 19650 series<\/a> of international standards for the management of information, which replace the UK PAS 1192 standards.<\/p>\n

The definition of BIM, according to ISO 19650-1, means the use of a shared digital representation of a built asset to facilitate design, construction and operation processes to form a reliable basis for decisions<\/p>\n

According to the framework, the successful adoption of the processes in BIM according to the ISO 19650 series would:<\/p>\n
