Building Award 2015 Shortlist - The NBS BIM Object Standard

In a month's time we will know whether we have won our first Building Award.

In 2013 we won two CN Awards for our work on BIM with the National BIM Library and NBS Create. This year we are up for a Building Award for our NBS BIM Object Standard.

We're hoping that the judges will recognise the impact that our standard is making across the whole industry. The standard documents all of the best practices we have refined internally over the years we have worked on the National BIM Library.  The standard defines requirements for the information, geometry, behaviour and presentation of BIM objects, to give reassurance of quality that will enable greater collaboration and efficient information exchange across the construction industry.

As always with these awards, we are up against some very stiff competition. All of the very best to the others that have been shortlisted.

I'm sure there will be some familiar faces and good banter from "the competition" there on the night. In particular BIM Academy and Laing O'Rourke who are working alongside us on the BIM Toolkit Project. If you are attending the awards, please be sure to come over and say hello.
