Much like the United States National CAD Standard (NCS), the National BIM Standard - United States (NBIMS-US)is an effort by members of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) to create consensus-based, open standards for the delivery of information important throughout the lifecycle of a building. The newest version, V3, released this Summer, provides design professionals, contractors, facility managers, and owners with technology, process, and best practice standards to facilitate data for the design, procurement, construction, and operation of a building. Presented by the Vice-Chair of the project committee responsible for its creation, this session gives an insider's look at all the parts of the standard, what they mean to the design professional, project partners, and clients, and how they can be successfully applied to the execution of a particular project, or the every day practices of a design firm.
