BIM integration with national codes of construction. – PlusSpec

Integrating BIM technology with local and National Construction Codes. Will this be the turning point in our industry?

Imagine sitting down in front of your computer creating a design or structure and having the ability to quickly look up  current building codes …. Not only will these advances in technology save time , it will increase quality of specification with the end result being better, safer faster construction.

In Australia the National Construction Code  (NCC) will  becoming freely available to all,  with much thanks to the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) . An online version is proposed which will open the gate to software companies such as RubySketch to associate manufacturers models with actual construction codes that associate with a product, construction type or method.  Yet the ball doesn’t stop rolling there.  BIM software such as PlusSpec will have direct links to building codes which will be available before  a wall type has been chosen. These links can also be transferred through to the specification or even to a bill of materials.

The mind boggles at the opportunities that will arise from these advances in technology. You may like to see how we see some of these exciting opportunities coming to fruition. We have posted a free example here  and there are many more to come.

Stay tuned for more information on this subject. I know I will be.
