EBOSS and the BIM Acceleration Committee are pleased to announce the findings from the eighth survey in our longitudinal survey series that follows the progress of the adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) into New Zealand.

This third edition of the New Zealand BIM Handbook expands on the successful first release in 2016 to help unlock BIM’s benefits for our building and construction sector.  It follows the normal progression of a project, covering: project establishment/briefing, design, procurement, construction, handover, operation.

This paper explores how BIM can be used to improve the quality and usefulness of the information that is delivered alongside a physical asset to assist its future operation and maintenance. Anchoring BIM to the owner’s business drivers is central to its success.

EBOSS and the BIM Acceleration Committee are pleased to announce the findings from the fourth survey of our five-year programme that follows the progress of the adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) into New Zealand.

For those interested in reviewing the New Zealand Metadata draft documents further (and/or attending the workshops), they will be made available via a simple and free registration process.

BIM has the potential to create a digital world with a common language between designers and manufacturers, scientists and engineers. A world with the power to federate a single model, a single hymn sheet, on which each specialism can input their expertise; to create an output that is not only the best that it can be, but it can reach this point far more efficiently than the traditional design process.

It's been three years since the BIM Acceleration Committee got started and in that time there have been some big changes in how much the New Zealand construction sector is using BIM.  This report describes how industry, BRANZ, tertiary education and government have worked together for better building process.

This second edition of the New Zealand BIM Handbook expands on the successful first release in 2014 to help unlock BIM’s benefits for our building and construction sector.  It follows the normal progression of a project, covering: project establishment/briefing, design, procurement, construction, handover, operation.
