Dr Stephen Hamil
Dr Stephen Hamil first started working on NBS products in 1999 and has played a big part in the developments of products such as NBS Building, NBS Create and the NBS National BIM Library.
He is the project lead for the NBS BIM Toolkit project which will complete the Level 2 BIM suite of tools for the UK Government's BIM Task Group.
Prior to joining NBS, Stephen studied at Durham University. His first degree was in Structural Engineering followed by a PhD in the digital modelling of building structures.

NBS recently became the first UK organisation to become an Autodesk Solution Associate following years of hard work and collaboration via the Autodesk Developer Network. Here we take a look at developments.
Knowledge
At NBS we are committed to supporting open standards for BIM. Furthermore, we have been one of the most active organisations in the UK involved in developing these standards and encouraging their use. Here we explore just what that means in practice.

Dr Stephen Hamil's presentation on BIM in action given at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers conference in November 2013.
Knowledge
Dr Stephen Hamil looks at how NBS Create can be used within a collaborative level 2 BIM project.
Knowledge
We explore the 'Toolbox' spreadsheet that accompanies the book Assembling a Collaborative Project Team.
Knowledge
Discover how NBS Create has been designed to enable you to quickly and easily specify construction products either generically or by using manufacturer and product references. This guide also illustrates how to export a full list of all the manufacturers and product specified in your NBS Create specification, plus how to output into a COBie format.
Knowledge
Recently presented at the BIM Show Live 2013, Dr Stephen Hamil, NBS Director of Design and Innovation, discusses how NBS Create and the NBS National BIM Library can be used to enable information flow throughout the entire BIM process, thus maximising the benefits of BIM. The features shown in the NBS Plug-in for Revit including Autodesk Revit 2014 compatibility will be available with the next version, scheduled for release in June 2013.
Knowledge
Dr Stephen Hamil looks into some of the advantages of a digital plan of work as the 2013 RIBA Plan of Work is published.
Knowledge
When documenting a building project there are huge benefits around using a consistent approach to structured data.
