There will also be a dedicated #BIMchat space offering the opportunity to ask questions with technical and workshops and clinics in addition to conversations with presenters from the BIM Village Theatre.
Oliver Hughes CoFounder & Director, Digital Construction Week, comments, “There’s been a huge uptake of BIM and the associated technologies and processes since the launch of the mandate but as many will agree there is still much to be done. We want to really help drive the agenda forward as it’s clear there are real gains to be had.”
Having being launched at DCW16, the UK BIM Alliance will provide an update on the last 12 months at the same event, taking place on the BIM Village Theatre.
