Like it or not BIM is here to stay. In May 2011 UK Government called for BIM adoption on UK government construction http://www.actioncad.co.uk/[19/09/2016 16:40:57]
ActionCad BIM Consultants projects of 5million and over. In June 2011 the UK government published its BIM strategy announcing its intention to require collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) on its projects by 2016, and In April 2016, the UK Government published a new central web portal as a point of reference for the industry for BIM Level 2 www.bimtaskgroup.org BIM is not only being used for Government projects but has developed into a design office standard way of working across the UK. Today ALL contractors are expected to be capable of working to this process to be eligible to supply their services as part of the supply chain. What is BIM? You ve heard of BIM but not quite sure exactly WHAT it is? BIM is not a product, it s not a hardware or software you can buy off the shelf. BIM is a methodology tailored to support collaborative working between stakeholders who share construction project data within a Common Data Environment. Information is produced, shared, utilised and stored in various formats. A federated multi-service co-ordinated 3D Model is used as a graphical representation of the proposed construction. The 3D model also contains intelligent http://www.actioncad.co.uk/[19/09/2016 16:40:57]

Recent Projects How We Can Help Sharon Wilde Bim Consultant I have always worked hard to develop my skills in the right direction to keep up with ever changing technology within the design/drawing office. I was trained (the old fashioned way) in ink on the drawing board. Having a talent for Art my Art teacher pointed me in the direction of Draughtsmanship. Being a very male environment it was difficult to break into once I had done my initial training. So being young and enthusiastic I went to work abroad in Holland in 1983 where I found that it was more acceptable for females to work in http://www.actioncad.co.uk/[19/09/2016 16:40:57]
ActionCad BIM Consultants engineering. I spent 5 years developing my drafting skills with the added bonus of also being trained on CAD systems. When I returned to the UK it was in the early stages of the CAD evolution. I was in my element! I started up a Computer Aided Drafting Service called ActionCAD and began teaching AutoCAD at various colleges across the North West. I wanted to help old hand drawing board veterans lean this new skill in order to prolong their employment duration and young people starting from scratch. Having worked in the industry from the days before CAD I understood the problems some people might face when having to convert to a completely different way of producing drawings. I also wanted to stress the importance of drawing office standards to those who did not have any engineering drawing experience. I want to continue to aid and assist individuals or any business that needs support and/or inspiration to move on the next step however big or small it may be. The journey so far from Drawing Board to 2D CAD through to 3D BIM has been eventful and so may it continue. Old Ways Won t Open New Doors Rob Kehoe BIM Consultant Rob has undergraduate degrees in both engineering and science and is a BRE Certified BIM http://www.actioncad.co.uk/[19/09/2016 16:40:57]
ActionCad BIM Consultants Professional. After a mechanical engineering apprenticeship and several years as a maintenance fitter Rob undertook an honours degree in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Liverpool. On graduating in 1993 Rob also attained an Open University degree in Physics for which he had studied part time. Fulfilling a childhood ambition to work in 'Big Science' Rob secured employment with the Science and Engineering Research Council serving much of his 18 years there as a Protein Crystallography X-Ray Beamline Scientist. In 2006 Rob moved back into engineering and cofounded ActionCAD Limited. Immediately he became very interested in BIM although it was only being used in the United States at the time... I could see its potential and it was my intention to introduce BIM into ActionCAD and embrace this work ethic as soon as possible so we were able to offer it to our clients It proved to be the right thing to do and now ActionCAD are able to assist anyone who needs to adopt BIM in line with the UK Government mandate.
