JCW Acquire BIM Status

JCW are one of the first companies within the sound insulation industry to gain BIM (Building Information Modelling) status.

BIM brings together all of the information about every component of a building, in one place. It makes it possible for anyone to access that information for any purpose, e.g. to integrate different aspects of the design more effectively. In this way, the risk of mistakes or discrepancies is reduced, and abortive costs minimized.

The data can be used to illustrate the entire building life-cycle, from cradle to cradle, from inception and design to demolition and materials reuse. Spaces, systems, products and sequences can be shown in relative scale to each other and, in turn, relative to the entire project and by signalling conflict detection prevents errors creeping in at the various stages of development/construction.

Through BIM the UK construction industry is undergoing its very own digital revolution and with the requirements for all centrally procured Government projects to be a fully collaborative 3D BIM by 2016 (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being digital), we felt it was crucial to get in early.

The future of the construction industry is digital, and BIM is the future of design and long term facility management; it is government led and driven by technology and clear processes; and it is implementing change across all industries. As hardware, software and cloud applications herald greater capability to handle increasing amounts of raw data and information, use of this will become even more pronounced than it is in current projects.

“The objective of the Construction Strategy 2011 is to accelerate the adoption of BIM throughout the UK construction supply chain. The requirements by 2016 are for all centrally procured Government projects to be a fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being digital). “
