Rock embraces BIM strategy
Last year the Department for Business released a strategy paper concerning Building Information Modelling (BIM), with the decision to mandate use of BIM in the delivery of all future government-procured construction projects. BIM involves the generation of a 3D digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building. It’s a sobering thought that 80% of a building’s costs are incurred post-construction by ongoing maintenance. This expenditure can be significantly reduced by BIM, which enables more informed decision-making from the earliest conceptual stages through to design and construction.
Rock welcomes this government strategy and now plans to adopt it for ourselves. Better quality information at the start will allow a building to run more efficiently for years to come, enhancing the project's long-term investment potential. Aligning our internal processes to support BIM offers Rock’s clients the advantage of a 3D digital model of the building elements we deliver to ensure that all design interfaces are robust. By reducing the whole life costs of a building through 3D modelling, Rock seeks to add even greater value to any given project.
