Guest speakers Peter Caplehorn, deputy chief executive and policy director of the Construction Products Association, and Anthony Burd, head of sector - construction at the British Standards Institution (BSD, provided an overview of the Building Information Management (BIM) process and its impact on passive fire protection manufacturers and contractors. Mr Caplehorn urged ASFP members to get involved in the developing process, declaring that BIM was about getting the construction industry to work collaboratively. "Building Information Modelling is an industry game-changer. It is not about 3D graphics, it is about data. It is about de-risking construction and is therefore about efficiency. BIM is about capturing and using data from the very start of the project to 'in use' and beyond."
