Technology Promotion
Our Technology Leader Adam Ward has recently been promoted to a Director position. Adam has been involved with BIM.Technologies from inception and has been instrumental in setting up the infrastructure for the business. Adam's role has always been to focus on research and innovation and heads a new software development for the team. His role will remain largely unchanged with the promotion being a recognition of his importance to the team.
BIMStore Update
The bimstore team have continued to build strong relationships with manufacturers in helping them develop their BIM strategy for their products. The mix on bimstore includes major international brands such as Metsawood, Kingspan and Dorma but also growing national brands such as Cubicle Centre who are using BIM as the centre of their growth strategy.
The bimstore team are not only hosting components but are assisting with training sessions and marketing materials to ensure that BIM is truly embedded into the manufacturers culture.
As we develop content on the site with evading manufactures we are also growing our user database which includes architects, engineers and designers.
We are continually developing bimstore and have a number of improvements and additions to the site planned for later in 2013.
London Office
As the adoption of BIM has increaded, BIM.Technologies have needed to move offices a number of times in the Capital in response to a growing client list and team. We have now moved to new offices at 175-185 Grays Inn Road. The office allows us future flexibility for grow and even has a rooftop terrace for summer beers on the roof!

Campus established
The construction industry is suffering a skills shortage specifically in the adoption and use of new technology. Traditionally construction has been a low tech industry with manual skills being the priority. With the growing use of BIM throughout the project lifecycle there is a need for new skills. In response BIM.Technologies have recently established Campus a specialist BIM training facility at _space group headquarters in Newcastle.
Campus provides students a foundation of sills for the delivery of BIM across the industry. A full time tutor has been appointed with the training facility having the capacity for 15 students at one time.
BIM.Technologies are working in partnership with Barnardos to focus on young people who are currently Not in Employment, Education or Training. (NEET)
Campus is also been supported by Autodesk who are providing a full suite of software and training material. Campus will operate 12 week courses and will then assist the students to find appropriate placements across industry.
