Inspiring trust for a more resilient world.

Working better together to achieve sustainable results through collaboration and Building Information Modelling (BIM)

15 November 2021 10am-11am (UK Time)

Overview of Webinar:
Collaboration is a method that the construction industry has historically struggled to adopt, but one that has been consistently demonstrated to greatly benefit the industry as a whole and needs to go deeper. This is where the link between Collaborative Working (ISO 44001) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) is vital.  
The objective of BIM is to satisfy the three components of a successful project, namely time, cost and quality, by managing the project using an efficient, collaborative and reliable method of work.  Using BIM ensures
that information management throughout project stages remains effective, secure and delivers the defined outcomes and deliverables.
