2. Government Construction Strategy (for England)
In May 2011, the UK Government published the
Construction Strategy aimed at reducing the cost of
public sector assets by up to 20% by The strategy
calls “for a profound change in the relationship
between public authorities and the construction
industry to ensure the Government consistently gets a
good deal and the country gets the social and economic
infrastructure it needs for the long-term”.

3. BIM strategy Basic problems exist with procuring public assets, which
have been known for over 100 years, but little as yet
has been achieved in resolving them. The Construction
Strategy defines a number of strategic objectives,
which collectively will overcome these problems. In
particular, a strategic objective has been set to achieve
maturity Level 2 building information modelling (BIM)
on all public sector asset procurement, with equal
applicability to private sector building, infrastructure,
refurbishment and new-build projects. This will
address the problem of information that is inaccurate,
incomplete and ambiguous and results in unnecessary
additional capital delivery costs amounting to 20-25% –

7. BIM Protocol The key principles :
All parties should have the Protocol incorporated into their contract
The same version of the Protocol and Appendices should be incorporated into each contract.
The wording of the CIC BIM Protocol should not be amended
The Protocol should detail all Building Information Models that are going to be produced by all parties
The Appendices have to be completed with project specific information for all projects. This should be available from pre-appointment documentation such as the Employer’s Information Requirements.
Changes to the Protocol and its Appendices should be treated as variations to the Contract

8. PAS 1192:2 The PAS includes: Taxonomy of terms

Definitions for Process and Data needs
Roles and Responsibilities
