Embracing a Tech Culture Change
The successful implementation of Viewpoint For Projects
allowed The Highland Council to implement BIM standards in
advance of the UK Government's deadline for implementation.
The Highland Council spent a year and a half configuring the
system to meet their specific requirements. It was not just
a case of making sure the software was fine tuned, but also
accepting the culture change that was to come with new
technology, and ensuring that everyone was comfortable with
the system in order for it to be widely adopted and the most
value gained from it. The council typically has around 300-500
projects a year, ranging from new school developments to
refurbishments and fit-outs, and every single project is run
through Viewpoint For Projects.
It also allowed external contractors and consultants to
collaborate with The Highland Council on construction
projects, ensuring that there is a single 'version of the truth' for
construction information. This was aided by the full BIM model
viewer within the system which allows federation of models.
