Formal alliance
The Council for Aluminium in Building (CAB) and the UK BIM Alliance are now formally affiliated.
“BIM has been central to the continuing digital transformation of the built environment in the UK,” Phil Slinger, CAB chief executive, said. “While CAB members are at different stages of implementing BIM, we need to continue explaining the benefits of BIM to all decision makers and ensure that each organisation that implement’s BIM has its own ‘BIM champion’ in place.”
The UK BIM Alliance, launched in October 2016 is a cross-industry alliance initially formed to drive leadership around implementation of BIM Level 2. The purpose of the alliance is to lead the industry-wide drive for awareness, education and adoption of BIM principles and realise its universal benefits.
Andy Boutle from UK BIM Alliance said: “Trade associations with wide reaching membership across the supply chain are exactly what we need to help broaden the audience and drive the information management agenda.”
