ISO 19650 Accreditation (Formally BIM Level 2 Accreditation and Certification)
Is your organization looking to become BIM ready, BIM compliant or BIM Accredited?
EFFICIENTLY PLAN, DESIGN, CONSTRUCT AND MANAGE BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Design teams globally are recognizing the benefits and importance of effective BIM strategies. Many government agencies across the globe require all public construction projects to be performed by “BIM Capable” organizations. In the UK, the 2012 mandate has brought about an increased awareness and an appreciation of the benefits associated with its adoption and it continues to grow globally. With many organizations already on the path to ISO 19650 compliancy, certification provides a way of underlining that investment and driving business improvement via third party assessments.
Symetri in partnership with LRQA (previously Lloyd’s Register) is working in the delivery of the ISO 19650-2 Accreditation Process across the US, Europe, and the UK to help firms meet current and upcoming requirements.
