The UK BIM Framework supports the built environment sector's policy goals, as outlined in "the Big Three" The Construction Playbook, National Infrastructure Strategy, Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030, by offering standards, guidance, and tools to improve productivity, cut costs, and enhance sustainability. Despite challenges like stagnant productivity and workforce shortages, implementing BIM can bring significant benefits, such as time and material savings, risk reduction, and better built quality.

In November 2024, Nima, formally known as the UK BIM Alliance, launched the new Information Management Initiative (IMI), an evolution of the original mandate in the Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap 2030. This industry-led initiative, supported by the Construction Leadership Council, aims to strengthen information management strategies through data-driven, collaborative practices that maximise value across the entire lifecycle of built assets.

Join the Institute of Government & Public Policy at the National Information Management and Digital Construction Conference, which has been designed around themes of digital transformation, sustainable building design, and the Golden Thread of collaboration themes of digital transformation, sustainable and green building design, and collaboration. The event will provide a comprehensive overview on how the Information Management Initiative (IMI) aligns with manufacturing and construction, fostering innovation and setting a clear path to achieve meaningful, accessible information management practices for the entire sector.
