Periodic Table of BIM series

Our Periodic Table of BIM is your at-a-glance guide to the steps you need to take to ensure a successful BIM implementation.

Taking its inspiration from the periodic table of elements, our table presents all the main elements of BIM in an easy-to-follow, visual reference – ideal for printing or sharing. Here we round up articles focussing on the table and its groupings.

Update: Since the Periodic Table of BIM was first developed, all the content from the NBS National BIM Library has moved across to NBS Source.
