We’ve joined up with the BIM4M2 group to bring you BIM 4 Manufacturing

The next event in our thinkBIM construction and assembly series will be a joint twilight event with the BIM 4 Manufacturers & Manufacturing Group. on 4th March at Old Broadcasting House in Leeds. The event will start at 17:30 and finish around 19:30.

BIM4M2 is one of the BIM Task Group working groups involving people and organisations concerned with BIM for manufacturers (the organisations) and manufacturing (the process). Members include a healthy mix of manufacturers (SMEs and multi-nationals), consultants and content providers. The group’s long term vision is for the UK construction product manufacturing sector to be recognised as a world leader in the integration of BIM and manufacturing technologies to supply the products and solutions for a sustainable built environment.

Our speakers for this event are:
