	Building information modelling (BIM) has emerged rapidly in the UK, driven by the need to improve efficiency in the design, construction and operation of built assets and reinforced by the Government Construction Strategy published in May 2011, which stated, '...Government will require fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016'.
