The savings are proven. Realising them takes strategy.
Since the UK Government mandated BIM Level 2 on public projects in 2016 — a framework carried forward today by the ISO 19650 series — BIM has been the approved route to cutting waste across the whole project life cycle.
But unplanned investment yields little return. BIM only delivers when it is underpinned by a clear strategy, effective business processes and strong client leadership — which is exactly where Unisearch comes in.
