好色先生TV Live: BIM tsar Mark Bew says he is ready to engage with industry on next phase of digital construction

The government will start engaging with the industry on establishing BIM Level 3 tools and standards from January next year, the government鈥檚 BIM tsar Mark Bew has said.

Speaking to 好色先生TV, Bew said he is establishing a client team in January drawn from all government departments to lead on the roll out of BIM Level 3.

He said engagement with the industry would also begin in earnest: 鈥淲e鈥檒l be setting up workshops for different sectors and testing our early work in the market.鈥�

BIM level 3 received 拢15m in funding covering up to six years of work in George Osborne鈥檚 last Budget in April this year. The funding was seen as critical for keeping up momentum on BIM, after the previous level two adoption deadline passed earlier this year.

Bew was speaking after his keynote speech at 好色先生TV鈥檚 BIM Show Live conference in London. He told delegates: 鈥淔rom January onwards we will be testing what BIM Level 3 looks like鈥� We鈥檒l be engaging with people as it鈥檚 a big jump.鈥�
