Limited Time Extension: NBIMS Ballots Due Wednesday, June 1

Don’t miss the chance to submit changes or updates to the National BIM Standard – United StatesTM (NBIMS-US) Version 2. The open period for NBIMS-US ballot submissions has been extended 30 days to allow authors additional time to complete ballots they are working to submit.

The buildingSMART alliance is currently working on NBIMS-US Version 2 and is looking to all members of the industry to participate in the process. This will be the first full consensus release of the NBIMS. The Alliance is accepting ballot submissions to update current sections of the standard and to expand it to cover the latest standards, practices and technologies.

Since NBIMS Version 1-Part 1 was first released in 2008, a number of new processes have evolved, including information exchange standards for construction operations and product specifications. To ensure the standard reflects the needs of all parts of the building industry who participate in construction, it is imperative that both individuals and organizations provide input to the standard. The extension of the deadline to Wednesday, June 1, is not expected to change the final delivery date of the standard. Learn how to get involved in the process.
