For many years, the construction industry was said to be behind the times in adopting new technology. Whilst the automotive, energy and aerospace industries evolved and incorporated concepts such as Industry 4.0, construction was left behind. Neil Pullman, principal architect at, Boulting Environmental Services, explores the differences between BIM Levels, their benefits and what it means for the pharmaceutical sector.
We are delighted to announce that Jonathan Morton has been promoted to the position of engineering director. His appointment strengthens the company's management structure at a time of high growth and demonstrates our commitment to career development for our staff.

In our continued strive for improvement of our BIM processes we recently attended a BIM Masterclass course organised by Cadline. The course provided a high level overview of implementation strategy which was particularly useful to our Associate Design Director Darren Lewis and Principal Architect Neil Pulman. In addition, it aligned specific integration processes for a Common Data Environment (CDE) by following the BS1192 procedures which was beneficial for our Revit MEP Coordinator Mike Robinson.
