The New York City Dept. of Design and Construction (DDC) says it plans to issue new guidelines on Sept. 13 for the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for new public buildings. The guidelines establish a framework to enable all future DDC-managed public building projects to be delivered using 3-D technologies and BIM processes.
ENR New York reported on DDC's plans to roll out BIM standards earlier this year. The agency joins a small list of others in the region including the NYC Dept. of Buildings (DOB) and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York that have BIM technology standards.
