Think BIM 2012 – Design and pre-construction

Liz SchofieldDec 7, 2012

The following review has been written by Stephen Hamil and was originally posted on his blog:

Throughout 2012 I have chaired the Think BIM half-day conferences at Leeds Met Uni. Today was another good one.

RIBA Plan of Work 2013

First up was John Orrell from DLA Design Group who presented the changes to the RIBA Plan of Work. The new plan of work will be published at the end of the first quarter of 2013 after consultations with members earlier this year. John explained:

The previously published green and BIM overlays to the plan of work will be incorporated into the new publication.

There will be variable work streams for procurement, programme and planning to allow for the differing needs of members (from domestic extension to multi-million pound development).

The stages will change from letters (Stage A, Stage B…) to numbers (Stage 0, Stage 1…) to align with the CIC and other institute plans.

An interactive web version will accompany the hard copy publications [Note – our NBS R+D team are developing this currently – but I don’t think I can say too much about it yet].
