Building information modelling has been in the news again recently. Discussions online, special events and extended features in the media such as Construction News indicate that BIM is now a core feature of our industry.

That’s why Wales has to take the lead and why the event we held last week was so important. Along with CLAW, the Consortium of Local Authorities in Wales (representing the 22 Welsh local authorities), we started to develop a BIM toolkit for clients in the Welsh public sector. 

Will you play a part in supporting the biggest event in the Welsh construction calendar – the CEW Awards 2014? Milica Kitson, Chief Executive of CEW, says this year’s Awards provide the perfect chance for suppliers, partners and clients to promote their brands and support Welsh construction.

They don’t know it yet, but the winning entrants to the eighth CEW Awards are already busy planning their applications and looking ahead to the big day itself in July.  Sponsoring the CEW Awards is a great way to connect with one of the most successful economic sectors in Wales and supporting designers, architects, engineers, supplier, planners and builders of all sizes across the country.

The CEW Awards are recognised across the Welsh built environment as the biggest and brightest celebration of best practice. They are a clear demonstration of the core strength of construction in Wales and the desire and commitment to deliver buildings, roads, bridges and facilities of all kinds in a collaborative and sustainable manner. 

As the use and benefits of BIM become more widespread across the industry one of the important debates currently underway is the degree to which clients should lead on the application of BIM and how strongly should the supply chain push the agenda.

Last week CEWales and CLAW, the Consortium of Local Authorities in Wales, which includes all 22 Welsh local authorities, started to develop a BIM toolkit for clients in the Welsh public sector.
