What is unique about National BIM Library is that all manufacturer content comes in ArchiCAD, Bentley, IFC, Revit and Vectorworks formats.
However, although this is significant, it is still less than half of the market of those using BIM design tools. Revit is clearly has the largest market share. This market share is represented in the pie-chart below. Looking at the statistics of what BIM platform users are downloading the proprietary objects for is fascinating. We've had over 50,000 downloads of objects on the National BIM Library. NBS are here to help manufacturers in their BIM journey and the three unique reasons we find that manufacturers are joining National BIM Library are as follows: “… work with the trade bodies to ensure that construction manufacturers can supply BIM information to the industry” This message again was reinforced in the UK Government’s Pipeline for Growth report that was published before Christmas. This message is that manufacturers must digitalise their products so that this information can be used in the design, construction and operation of buildings. The construction industry is sending out a clear message to the supply chain. Prior to joining NBS he was one of those that rolled out a BIM way of working at Ryder Architecture and worked on projects such as Durham Johnson Secondary School and many other education and commercial sector projects.įig 2 - NBS Head of Product Information Drew Wiggett
Drew has many years in practice working on projects using BIM. Leading the way working closely with manufacturers and producing this content is Drew Wiggett our Head of Product Information. Also, there are a growing number of manufacturers that have objects in development.įig 1 - Manufacturers now live on National BIM Library Looking at the National BIM Library it can now be seen that there are now a number of manufacturers on board. Throughout all of this, what is really nice to see is that over recent months the volume of NBS BIM contents from manufacturers is really growing. We launched the National BIM Library and there were further developments to our specification product that is “ built for BIM” NBS Create Most of my blog posts and presentations were around the need for generic structured information and the need for this information in the central BIM to be coordinated with the information external to this (such as the specification model). Throughout last year I blogged and spoke a lot about BIM.
