International Conference on Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations9 - 11 September, 2015
Bristol, UK
Organised by:
University of the West of England, UK
Wessex Institute, UK
Overview
The recent emergence of Building Information Modelling (BIM)
constitutes one of the most exciting developments in Built Environment
Design, Management, Maintenance and Operations. These advances have
offered project teams multi-sensory collaborative tools and
opportunities for new communication structures. They have become
powerful analysis and interdisciplinary decision-making tools, designed
to represent and simulate existing or hypothetical buildings and
settings. BIM has far reaching consequences on both building procurement
and infrastructure.
The modern construction industry and built environment disciplines have been transformed through the development of new and innovative BIM tools and techniques. These have fundamentally altered the manner in which construction teams operate, the processes through which designs are evolved, and the relationships between conceptual, detail, construction and life cycle stages.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction, and
Operations is the first in a planned series of conferences dealing with
design coordination, construction, maintenance, operation and
decommissioning. The conference fulfils the vital task of
bringing together experts from industry, practice and academia, to
debate these key topics, develop innovative solutions, and predict
future trends. The conference includes a range of presentation fora,
including plenary papers, workshops, seminars, and panel sessions.
The importance of interdisciplinary and collaborative practices
within the built environment is reflected in the conference themes,
which aim to attract a varied yet complementary range of participants
including those engaged in design, surveying, visualisation,
infrastructure, real estate, construction law, insurance, and facilities
management.
