BIM & 3D modelling

CampbellReith’s Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems are aligned with best industry practice and are externally accredited by the British Standards Institution (BSI).

Originally accredited in 2017 and more recently gaining certification to ISO 19650, we consistently apply these high standards and every year, our protocols and documents are reviewed by an independent BIM auditor.

As part of our approach to continuous innovation, we are consulting with clients and stakeholders to comply with BS 8644-1 and FIRierequirements, and exploring ways that we can help support clients in deciding what data it is possible to supply to meet these upcoming standards.

We have produced our own Building Information Modelling Protocol docu­ ment based on industry BIM standards, in order to define the processes to be adopted on all our BIM projects. This protocol and the project BIM execution plan, developed in conjunction with the design team in response to the client’s information requirements, informs our modelling and design output.

As a practice we encourage all staff to engage in ongoing training, share knowledge through internal company project presentations, and achieve BRE BIM certification. In order to complement these processes we also have internal BIM team meetings to exchange ideas and learning and we chair a cross-company Structural BIM Forum to share knowledge and promote best practice in the industry.
