Development of BIM

“I have very much enjoyed working with May and Andrew on what has been a lengthy but never less than exciting and interesting project. “
Co-author Andrew Croft, said: “The Information Protocol will support the implementation of BS EN ISO 19650, a key standard for the adoption of BIM, alongside other important guidance published by the UK BIM Framework.
“We would encourage the legal and construction industry to familiarise themselves with the Information Protocol and make appropriate use of the Information Protocol in all contracts to which BS EN ISO 19650 applies.”
Dale Sinclair, director of the Construction Industry Council, added: “The Information Protocol cements the work of everyone involved in developing the UK BIM Framework in recent years.
