The National Federation of Builders has commissioned this short survey to determine the extent to which the public sector is taking up BIM. The use of 3D design and its use in programming, construction and even managing the building-in-use, are all elements of Building Information Modelling and Building Information Management. Although the government has mandated the use of BIM on all major public projects by 2016, the NFB wants to understand the wider public sector's appetite for adopting BIM. This survey contains 6 questions on your procurement and construction practices and 6 details about your business and should take you less than 5 minutes to complete. Please answer all questions as the results will be used to develop information, guidance and support that is appropriate to the construction sector as a whole. Your participation is sincerely appreciated. This project has received funding from CITB-ConstructionSkills Regional Growth Fund.
