The Productivity Partnership has released a free tool to help increase the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM).
The New Zealand BIM Handbook draws on the best of best BIM practice around the world but is tailored to the specific needs of New Zealand’s building and construction sector:
- driven by the New Zealand industry
- shaped by the New Zealand industry
- written in a way that reflects how we do things here.
The BIM Handbook follows the normal progress of a building project from pre-design through to operation and provides a solid framework for deciding whether to use BIM – there are 21 defined uses – demonstrating how BIM can add value over the whole life of a building.
It was commissioned by the Productivity Partnership and developed by the BIM Acceleration Committee, a voluntary industry and government body, with extensive industry input and the support of BRANZ.
