This award-winning project represented a truly collaborative approach in BIM utilisation, with a team working over multiple geographies to achieve a design programme that would not have been achievable under more traditional ways of working.

BIM is increasingly becoming a standard requirement in the construction industry for the delivery of both complex and mainstream projects. The use of BIM creates collaborative working and efficiencies in the design process and project delivery. Working in a coordinated digital platform offers many tangible benefits to Clients, designers, and the supply chain.

Our BIM culture, capability and foresight is managed through a dedicated BIM Working Group, whose primary function is to ensure we provide a market leading capability and engagement strategy. We have an established information technology platform that allows us to utilise BIM models to their full potential during a project’s delivery.

Our IT infrastructure is supported by experienced BIM users and structured training, which ensures we maximise the accuracy of our advice to both Clients and the project team. All our BIM users are trained Surveyors with the experience and technical skills to interpret quantities and descriptive outputs from models in an intelligent way.

Our early engagement in the BIM process allows us to establish geometry details and asset information to best support a project’s commercial delivery in a digital environment. This allows us to:

• Undertake 3D measurement and quantification of the BIM model;
• Use asset tags to link cost plans to the model
• Annotate 3D models to demonstrate measurement methodology and quantification methods;
• Maintain overall cost estimating accuracy and measurement;
• Provide 3D visuals and graphical demonstration of construction costs
• Expedite the pricing of design options
• Expedite the production of pricing documentation
• Support the assessment of interim valuations and final accounts
