It is aimed at both Tier 1 and non-Tier 1 organizations and will provide a robust measurement of a company's delivery of BIM projects, certifying businesses for their diligence in design and construction, supply chain management and delivery of customer service excellence.

Mark Taylor, Digital Construction Manager at BAM Construct UK, said: "BIM is a major driver for the digitisation of the construction industry, influencing its direction both in the UK and abroad. We were pleased to work with BSI and our peers  to develop the certification, providing a clear assessment pathway to achieve the Kitemark. This will reassure clients and partners that we are working efficiently to the highest possible standards and that BIM processes are embedded within our systems."
