BIM Toolkit - Update

Since we started on the BIM Toolkit project six weeks ago, there has been plenty of activity in terms of communicating the developments to the industry. An overview of this is below:

1. NBS Live – presentations
Members of the core team presented the outcomes of the feasibility study at the NBS Live conference. This included presentations from myself, Dave Philp (BIM Task Group), Alistair Kell (BDP), Adam Lamping (Laing O'Rourke), Stefan Mordue (NBS) and Claudio Benghi (BIM Academy).

2. NBS Live – round table discussions
At NBS Live we also ran a round table discussion session on what the delegates hoped that the BIM Toolkit would provide.

There were some good live polls during the Building webinar of the 600+ delegates watching on. Screenshots of these are below:

Over and above this, there have plenty of presentations and workshops behind the scenes to many different industry groups.

We have also slowly started our beta test activities with the first builds of the software and previews of the content taking place.
