Balfour Beatty joins BIM forum

26 Feb 13 Balfour Beatty has become one of the founding members of BIM4Infrastructure UK (BIM4IUK), a new industry forum to promote the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in construction.

BIM4IUK is a special interest group within the Association of Geographic Information (AGI) and is supported by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the government BIM Task Group and the Construction Project Information (CPI) committee.

Last year Balfour Beatty signed an £8m agreement with Autodesk to increase its use of BIM.

Balfour Beatty BIM director Peter Trebilcock said: “BIM provides us with major opportunities to improve UK infrastructure through better design integration, shorter programmes, safety improvements and supply chain engagement.

“We are determined to give our customers the very best levels of service and to us that means making sure that we use the very latest in BIM technology and practices”.
