''“''''Between 1996 and 2006 there was a 25% increase in the retail price index cost with construction costs rising by 89%[http://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Talk:Building_Information_Modelling&action=edit&redlink=1#_ftn1 '''<u>[1]</u>''']”.'' In a recent 2011 report by McGraw Hill[http://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Talk:Building_Information_Modelling&action=edit&redlink=1#_ftn2 <u>[2]</u>], research showed that a quarter of large projects finish late and a fifth over budget by at least 15% with 11% resulting in legal disputes. Of the 35 multi-national firms interviewed 71% of respondents thought BIM (building information modelling) helped to decrease project risk by offering substantial opportunities to increase efficiency.

In May 2011 the UK government announced a new Construction Strategy[http://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Talk:Building_Information_Modelling&action=edit&redlink=1#_ftn1 <u>[1]</u>] with the aim to''“reduce whole-life costs of buildings and infrastructure by 20%, and achieve reductions in CO2 emissions”[http://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Talk:Building_Information_Modelling&action=edit&redlink=1#_ftn2 '''<u>[2]</u>'''] '...Government will require fully collaborative 3DBIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016'[http://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Talk:Building_Information_Modelling&action=edit&redlink=1#_ftn3 '''<u>[3]</u>''']''

As a Project Manager i would be interested in discussing the challenges that arise from implementing BIM, what applicable software platforms are available and how BIM is evolving as a result of the Mandatory requirement imposed by the Government.<br/>

In May 2011 the UK government announced a new Construction Strategy with the aim to “reduce whole-life costs of buildings and infrastructure by 20%, and achieve reductions in CO2 emissions” '...Government will require fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016'

This paper focuses on my opinions regarding the challenges of successful implementation of BIM, what applicable software platforms are available and what specific packages I believe are of key relevance to the Crossrail Project to ensure success.
