Bryan (Historic England) described the \u2018BIM journey\u2019 and reviewed Historic England\u2019s related publications on the use of digital technologies. Carl Brookes (Ramboll) demonstrated several \u2018hybrid\u2019 methods whereby users could utilise \u2018BIM\u2019 technologies without having to engage in expensive, time-consuming model-building exercises, and Marianne Partyka (PagePark) ended the session by considering how a highly structured digital categorisation system can offer designers an efficient and effective method of interacting with considerable amounts of project data.<\/p>\n<p>Joanne Russell (HES) initiated the afternoon session by reviewing the wide range of applications where HES utilises digital tools, and illustrated how a data-rich matrix approach to risk management can inform the development of Investment and Maintenance Plans.\u00a0 Brian Johnston (Topscan) touched on how digital technologies can enable risk management, whilst emphasising the needs to ensure data gathering was focused and cost-effective to avoid \u2018drowning in data\u2019.\u00a0 Ingval Maxwell then developed the discussion on past publications, ruminating on the possible value of digitising them towards the creation of an HBIM Objects Library.\u00a0 Edonis Jesus (LendLease) concluded the day by setting out the objectives and intentions of the recently formed BIM4Heritage Group.<\/p>\n<p>The place of BIM, and a wider range of digital tools, within the conservation needs of the built environment proved an engaging topic that COTAC will continue to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"http:\/\/cotacnews.apps-1and1.net\/cotac-publishes-2017-conference-bim-for-heritage-stepping-into-the-future-with-the-past-abstract-and-presentations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COTAC Blog post<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/cotac.global\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cotac.global<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COTAC has published material from its 2017 conference \u2013 BIM for Heritage: \u2018Stepping into the Future with the Past,\u2019 on its cotac.global website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18999"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18999\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19000,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18999\/revisions\/19000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
