The IHBC has welcomed the arrival of the BIM4Heritage web site, which is now live as a ‘work in progress’ or ‘Beta’ site.
COTAC Chair Ingval Maxell said: ‘On behalf of the Council on Training in Architectural Conservation (COTAC) I’m delighted to see the inauguration of the BIM4Heritage website and look forward to its continuing development and growth.’
‘Since 2013 COTAC has been heavily involved in pulling together a greater understanding of how the BIM initiative will impact on the existing built heritage. In the process it has produced a number of forward looking reports that are now fully offered on the www.bim4heritage.org website.’
‘Over the past 3 years COTAC also enabled a BIM4Conservation Group. This group worked to the aim of promoting the learning, awareness and understanding of BIM within the conservation and heritage sector, and to influence and incorporate this through a wider industry perspective. That process has now been taken a greater step forward with an integration of the founding BIM4C group members with the emerging BIM4Heritage group participants, brought together by LendLease. In consequence, I look forward to seeing how the breakthrough COTAC work will continue to inform and guide the application of BIM (or HBIM) within the heritage and conservation sectors of the built environment.’
