Ten years on from
the initial survey, the NBS BIM Report 2020 is set to not only track the
adoption of BIM, but also focus on the construction industry’s digital journey.
For a decade, the
annual report has tracked BIM, documenting awareness and adoption from little
more than 10% in 2011, to almost 70% in 2019.
The 2019 report
represented the views of nearly 1,000 industry professionals and reflected on
the launch of the ISO standards, showing that 16% of organisations had already
started to use the ISO 19650 series of standards.
NBS Innovation
Director, Stephen Hamil said: “We have now been monitoring BIM adoption at NBS
for a decade. Last year’s report showed a pause in the growth of BIM
adoption as the industry consolidates and matures in its integration of BIM.
Will BIM adoption have grown in 2020? Is BIM becoming the norm for the
construction industry? We’ll cover this, and more, in the 2020 report.
"Alongside BIM,
the use of new digital technologies is transforming construction. In this
survey, we look beyond BIM to some of the new technologies being used in the
built environment. The survey will look at the current state-of-the-art
alongside what the future might look like for digital construction.”
