What is the UK BIM Framework?

The UK BIM Framework website is an invaluable resource for anyone who would like to know more about BIM, the standards and thought leadership.

The UK BIM Framework’s resources include several key components:

  • Standards: The website signposts you to all of the required standards necessary to adopt the UK BIM Framework. These include the ISO 19650 standards, UK standards as well as several best practice standards that complement the core standards.
  • Guidance: The site delivers complete guidance for implementing and operating BIM on projects. These cover every stage of the construction lifecycle from delivery to operation and include useful checklists to successfully implement information management using BIM.
  • Resources: There are a number of useful resources available that complement the implementation of BIM. The Information Management Assignment Matrix ensures that the tasks required to implement BIM are allocated to the right parties. The Information Protocol, a template to incorporate the implementation of the UK BIM Framework into contracts. It also includes learning outcomes to allow organisations to support the delivery of BIM training.

nima (formerly the UK BIM Alliance) is a fundamental element of the UK BIM Framework and Glider is proud to be both active members and patrons, supporting the digital transformation of our industry.

The UK BIM Framework has played a crucial role in driving BIM adoption in the construction industry, promoting collaboration among stakeholders, and delivering projects more efficiently and sustainably. It has become a model for other countries seeking to implement BIM standards and processes in their own construction sectors.
