Autodesk Hong Kong BIM Awards 2018

The presentation ceremony of annual Autodesk Hong Kong BIM Awards was held on 26 October 2018 at Hotel ICON.

Housing Authority’s New BIM Standard and Guideline “Setting a New BIM Standard for Hong Kong” has been presented the Pioneer of BIM Award.  There are two breakthroughs in this BIM guide: The entire guide is centered on a “Purpose Driven BIM” approach to ensue that the means (modeling input) are driven by the ends (various BIM implementation output like statutory submissions, etc); Most BIM Guides are either too general or too technical. The HABIMSG bridges this gap and provide comprehensive guidance for all members of a project team, from managers to technicians, to implement BIM from start to finish.

As the BIM partner of the project, A.C.I.D. would like to congratulate Hong Kong Housing Authority for the demonstration of great effort in BIM adoption.
