Did you know, the buildingSMART UK & Ireland chapter has been powered by the UK BIM Alliance since 2015.  This will obviously continue and the project activities of nima and bSUKI will be much more visible, integrated and accessible to you.

bSUKI is the UK & Ireland Chapter of buildingSMART International.

We are responsible for gathering industry requirements and representing the UK & Ireland’s needs at international level. This is essential when standards are being developed to ensure we are catered for.

What
They Say

“Digital transformation is a key aspect of the journey to build an effective and forward-thinking approach to asset management.  We are very pleased to join the affiliates programme.  It’s a great opportunity to be part of the growing community across many industry sectors and organisations that are using BIM to maximise value from the built environment and to coordinate our approach to identifying and achieving best practice.”
Graeme Bruce
Chair IAM UK Chapter
“Digitalisation of the nuclear sector is not something that happens overnight; however, our progressive approach to BIM, embracing new technologies and digitalisation corresponds to high levels of active participation in our Special Interest Group (DIG-SIG) and provides a focus for discussion and change.

It is therefore great to support a wider BIM community and to be able to share multiple sector learning through co-operation.”
Alastair Laird
Trustee Nuclear Institute
“We have partnered with and supported UK BIM Alliance for several years and are particularly delighted at the formation of the affiliates group.  We look forward to continuing and broadening our collaboration with the nima community.”
Rick Hartwig
Built Environment Lead at the IET
