Your Profile and BIM – Digital Construction
Simply put, Digital Construction is the business model that puts digital tools at its heart to improve the process of delivering and operating within the built environment. The definition of what digital construction is will depend on the organisation and the role played within construction projects. As BIM Level Two became mandatory on all Public sector projects from 4 April 2016 it became essential for the Profile to include a scalable BIM section to meet main contractor requirements.
With the assistance of the Steering Committee, Builder’s Profile collaborated with the BIM teams of Galliford Try, Willmott Dixon, Overbury, Shaylor, BAM Nuttall and Interserve to develop a common set of questions and evaluation process to streamline pre-qualification.
As a result, we’ve successfully reduced the question set to the essentials but importantly included a facility to request additional information from companies with an extensive BIM history portfolio.
For Subcontractors and Suppliers
Main Contractors have the ability to tier the Digital Construction questions. Making selections on the Dashboard and Company Settings will dynamically load the required question set for you. Main contractors can then request additional BIM capability information when required.
We have combined the Digital Construction and BIM questions within the new Digital Construction menu item.
If you have any questions while working through the Profile, our Support Team are here to help. Do contact them on our website Live Chat or 01305 831765 .
