Four delegates from Ogilvie Geomatics recently attended the annual ICES BIM seminar.
We all pleaded guilty with not fully familiarising ourselves
with the BS1192 document. BIM is not
going to go away and as a profession we need to be prepared.
There is a working group – Survey4BIM that is part
of the government task group on BIM. For

Survey4BIM is a cross-industry group open to all
