Maybe Global BIM Teams Need Global BIM Standards?

Our two weeks in London were exceptional – thanks to all of the amazing BIM champions that we had the opportunity to meet – in fact we met with twenty-seven companies – three owners/clients, twelve architects, nine contractors, and three service providers. We apologize that we couldn’t fit more of you in the time we had.

It was great to be in London and yet very sad to be so near when people were attacked on the Westminster Bridge and in the Parliament building. Our thoughts are with the victims’ families.

During our meetings, companies shared that their teams were having a tough time standardizing BIM across multiple locations and they confirmed that a Leaner approach to BIM Execution and LOD Planning would be very welcome.

We also received some insightful feedback from a few experts and based on this we made a couple of changes so that we will also support UK BIM standards. We really appreciated the advice!

At LOD Planner we’d like to support the right standard(s) and even a combination of standards to get the best results for project teams.

Among others, we’d like LOD Planner to support:

1) US BIM Standards

2) UK BIM Standards

3) and a consolidated “Global BIM Standard”

During our stay we ate fish and chips, multiple full English breakfasts and I ended up coming back more than ten lbs heavier – so it’s back on the California beach body diet now 😉

We’ll be at the BIM Forum in San Diego next week – connect if you’d like to chat?: hello@lodplanner.com
