How long will all NBIM Standards take to develop?
It is the Committee’s intent that a comprehensive standard be developed now and matured over time. The first products of the NBIMS effort are planned for publication in December 2006. Products at that time are expected to include the NBIMS Scope definition, an update to the NBIMS Process Standards and Maturity Model documents, the coverage of the release version, reference standards, and IDMs for COBIE, Preliminary Design, and Code Checking, and associated implementation guidance. The Committee’s first funding for the NBIM Standard has been provided by the Charles Pankow Foundation for development of the Pre-Cast Concrete portions of the standard. This initial effort will also provide the templates for other areas of interest to further other portions of the standard. This initial effort will also fund an economic analysis of the benefits to their community.
