• Interview: Anne King
  Anne King, Membership and Markering Director, BSRIA, "The important thing to understand is that it is a way of working so that we can work together, with others in other disciplines, work together through the supply chain. And the important thing is that we're not just talking about geometry, we're talking about every parameter that you can talk about with respect to a building, or a space, or a system, or a product."
• Interview: Dr Stephen Hamil
  Dr Stephen Hamil, Head of BIM, NBS, "The most important thing, with respect to master specification systems, is that they aren't just words on paper or words in a word processor.
