Siemens and Amtech make Building Information Modelling Crystal Clear

Siemens is supporting Amtech Group in hosting a two-day conference on Building Information Modelling (BIM), the virtual information modelling process that is set to change the construction industry. ‘Crystal Clear’ Building Information Modelling (BIM) takes place on 17 and 18 June at The Crystal in London's Green Enterprise District.

The two-day Crystal Clear BIM conference will show how the process should work in the real world, in particular for services within buildings. The conference will take a 'no-nonsense', 'no BIM wash' approach; focusing on the practical implementation of BIM and providing accurate, sensible advice. It will address the needs of those who are already in the process of implementing BIM, as well as those who are looking for guidance on where to begin.

The keynote speakers are Roy Evans of the BIM Task Group GSL Workgroup and Professor David Philp, Head of BIM with the Cabinet Office and with international construction company Mace.

Paul Fisher, Managing Director of Siemens Low and Medium Voltage division, commented: "Amtech and Siemens share a vision where technology supports the design, construction and management of the built environment. We are therefore very pleased to be supporting this conference which, I have no doubt, will clarify the realities of BIM and enable delegates to take full advantage of the benefits it offers."

Siemens and Amtech have had a strong working relationship for over 15 years, both developing innovative products that provide practical solutions for everyday tasks. As a result, there are strong synergies between the two companies and both have made a strong commitment to the development of Building Information Modelling.
