Electrical Contractors Association Launches BIM E-forum
In a bid to offer electrical contractors a one-stop resource for building information modelling the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA) has launched a free BIM Solutions e-forum, available to members.
Apparently the resource will be updated regularly and offer an interactive forum and comprehensive information library for ECA members. It will cover technical, commercial and contractual aspects of BIM, as well as the implications for facilities management. The e-forum members are able to search and download articles and then create and reply to posts.
ECA experts Paul Reeve, director of Business Services; Giuliano Digilio, head of Technical Services; and Bill Wright, head of Energy Solutions, will be contributing to the e-forum and will respond to any queries raised by members.
Paul Reeve commented, “We launched this e-forum following the success of our ‘Energy Solutions’ e-forum, which debuted last year, and has already proved to be a great way to communicate quickly and flexibly with members on policy, technical and other key energy issues.
“We wanted to extend this capability to BIM and what it means for building services contractors and their supply chain. BIM is set to radicalise how project data is compiled and captured in building services, facilities management and construction, and we want to help our members make the most of the opportunities it brings.”
