NATSPEC has clarified the uses of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the roles and responsibilities of BIM Team members in the National BIM Guide.  The Guide has already gained the support of Government departments and consultants in Australia and has been recognized internationally.

NATSPEC will be holding a seminar in Brisbane on Friday 18 May to help you get the best from BIM.  No previous BIM knowledge is required.  More information can be found by clicking on the BIM logo at www.natspec.com.au
