When the UK launched its Construction Strategy 2016-20<\/a>, one of the most eye-catching features was that construction firms had to be BIM level 2 certified to work on government projects (or at least be working towards certification). Now that this period is over, BIM Level 2 should, in theory, be widespread in the industry.<\/p>\n

So, has this drive towards raising BIM levels been a success?<\/p>\n

What is BIM level 2?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The phrase BIM level 2 describes smart projects where 3D BIM models detail every characteristic of a building or engineering project. Besides using 3D modelling, it also emphasises improved collaboration where all key stakeholders have a shared view of the project.<\/p>\n

The government encouraged the construction industry to implement BIM Level 2 as part of its Digital Built Britain<\/a> drive which seeks to improve processes and make the building industry more efficient. During the next phase of the strategy, construction firms will need to work towards BIM Level 3 by 2025.<\/p>\n
