Standard Version 1 – Part 1: Overview, Principles, and Methodologies, has been released for public use.
BIM refers to the use of the concepts and practices of open and
interoperable information exchanges, emerging technologies, new
business structures and influencing the re-engineering of processes in
ways that aim to dramatically reduce multiple forms of waste in the
building industry.
The National BIM Standard establishes standard definitions for building
information exchanges to support critical business decisions.
Implemented in software, the standard aims to form a basis for more
accurate and efficient commerce within the capital facilities industry.
The National BIM Standard is also intended to help participants in
facilities-related processes achieve more reliable outcomes from
commercial agreements.
This document is a product of the Executive Committee for the National
Building Information Modeling Standard (NBIMS) project of the National
Institute of Building Sciences’ Facility Information Council. It
includes contributions by more than thirty subject-matter experts in
the capital facilities industry, incorporates industry comments and
contains new and expanded information about the NBIMS production and
use process.
