The National Institute of Building Sciences Building Information Management (BIM) Council has released the results of its NBIMS v4 Publishing and Formatting Survey. The survey was distributed to NIBS members and the general public during the month of June 2021.
The main takeaway: Respondents want a National BIM Standard that will be easy to use and accessible.
When it comes to working out details for the National BIM Standard – United States Version 4, figuring out how it easily can be applied in contracts has become a bit of a mantra.
“NBIMS has always had different chapters,” said John Messner, Chair of the U.S. National BIM Standard and professor in the Department of Architectural Engineering at Penn State, during the BIM Council’s semi-annual meeting on June 9. “You’ll see parts of NBIMS v4 coming out this year. But it’ll be much more modular … clear, concise and shovel-ready, so it can be implemented.”
The National Institute of Building Sciences joined more than 2,000 public sector representatives from 100 countries to form a new Global BIM Network.
The launch of the Global BIM Network took place March 17, 2021, during the Global BIM Summit convened by the Centre for Digital Built Britain. The Global BIM Network aims to connect international public sector representatives, multilateral organizations, and infrastructure funders to advance the digitalization of the global built environment.

The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) proposes to lead the development and dissemination of a next-generation information standard for the built environment. The U.S. National Building Information Management Program will build on the work of the NIBS BIM Council...
Buildings are complex and becoming more so as owners and policymakers demand particular levels of performance. The focus is no longer on single building characteristics but providing high performance through the optimization of numerous attributes including safety and security, accessibility, historic preservation, functionality, productivity, sustainability, cost effectiveness, aesthetics, and resiliency.

Chicago sure made an impression.
The National Institute of Building Sciences sent a small team to the Chicago Build Conference and Expo Sept. 19 and 20, at the McCormick Place Convention Center.
After setting up our booth (No. 755), our marketing, sales and technical staff were swamped in the best possible way.
Computer scientist Andrew Tanenbaum has said: “The good thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.”
For better or worse, Tanenbaum’s quote ties into a project of the National Institute of Building Sciences buildingSMART alliance (bSa), which aims to update the National Building Information Modeling (BIM) Standard for the built environment.
