What the experts say...

Alistair Kell from BDP

"The BIM Toolkit will allow the industry to enforce a discipline and rigour across building design and delivery that doesn’t exist at present."
Adam Lamping from Laing O’Rourke

“We can now make it clear what levels of detail and information are required through every stage of a project. Through design, manufacture, assembly and through the operation lifecycle of the asset.”
Terry Stocks from Ministry of Justice

"The Toolkit will provide a common language across different infrastructure types and the ability to identify the documentation, the graphical data and the non-graphical data to be provided at each work stage by the supply chain."
Chris Jolley from Mott MacDonald

"The level-2 BIM package is for all sectors of the UK built environment. This BIM Toolkit provides a digital plan of works that sets out the levels of detail and information required through all stages of any construction project and assists collaborative working."

The features.

The NBS BIM Toolkit is an integral part of the suite of documents and tools that underpin the delivery of UK Level 2 BIM allowing you to:

Define information requirements

Easily produce the information requirements, aligned to specific project stages, for insertion into key documentation such as Employer’s Information Requirements.

Manage the delivery of this information

Develop and manage this information through the project timeline using a standard digital plan of work that is built for BIM.
