A commercial building will be developed using BIM from start to finish, with the hope of showing how 50% savings can be made

Stuart Lipton and Peter Rogers hope to develop the first commercial building in London using BIM from start to finish. This will take place on a pilot project, previously reported in 好色先生TV, on which the pair plan to show how the industry could make 50% savings on these sorts of schemes.

The building, which would be delivered by Lipton鈥檚 real estate developer Chelsfield, would demonstrate how a more simple, standardised building using a BIM model could reduce the cost of London skyscrapers.

Lipton said that, at this stage, timings for the venture were not known but that it was a project in the pipeline.

On the future of BIM, Rogers added that the UK construction industry will be forced to 鈥渁dapt or die鈥� and embrace this sort of new technology as firms that don鈥檛 are unlikely to survive.
