The Application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) within a Heritage Science Context

Editor News

Historic England has published BIM for Heritage: Developing a Historic Building Information Model. This publication on Building Information Modelling for heritage (Historic BIM) offers guidance for owners, end-users and professionals in the fields of heritage and construction.

BIM provides a methodology for better information management on design and construction projects, with eventual handover of the full information required for the operational stage. BIM for heritage assets (historic buildings and sites) is a relatively new field of academic research and appears less popular in terms of adoption by heritage professionals.
