BSI, the business improvement and standards company, has become a member of the National Institute of Building Sciences BIM Council. The Council will help develop a national BIM program for the U.S. that aligns with international standards.
The BIM Council is one of eight NIBS councils with the mission to lead the development and deployment of broadly adopted national information management standards and processes.
BIM is well established outside the U.S., in countries such as the UK, and supported by the international standard, ISO 19650-1:2018 – Organization and digitization of information about buildings and civil engineering works, including building information modeling (BIM) — Information management using building information modeling.
Recently, NIBS and the UK’s Centre for Digital Built Britain signed a memorandum of understanding to adapt the UK program model and materials as a guide for a U.S. roadmap to encourage greater adoption of ISO 19650 as a best practice and industry benchmark.
