How to 'kick-start' your BIM journey

Under a government mandate, from early April this year all centrally procured public sector projects were required to implement BIM (Building Information Modelling) at Level 2. Against this backdrop, 2 June saw IHWWM and HefmA jointly stage the first in a series of planned free-to-attend events promoting the use of BIM in the healthcare sector. Among the speakers at the seminar, which was chaired by BIM4Health chair and IHEEM Council member, Steve Batson, and held at the at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICs) in London, was Joel Martineau, LEED AP, digital practice manager at architectural and engineering firm, Stantec. His presentation explained to delegates, and particularly those 'new' to the process, how to 'kick-start' their BIM journey, and 'how to use 3D models and data to solve day-to-day problems', HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie, reports.
