What is the National BIM Standard Project Committee?
National BIM Standards Project Committee (NBIMS) is a committee of the National Institute for Building Sciences (NIBS) Facility Information Council (FIC). The FIC mission since 1992 has been to “improve the performance of facilities over their full life-cycle by fostering a common, standard and integrated life-cycle information model for the A/E/C & FM industry. This information model will allow for the free flow of graphic and non-graphic information among all parties to the process of creating and sustaining the built environment, and will work to coordinate U.S. efforts with related activities taking place internationally”.A charter for the National BIM Standard project committee was developed in late 2005. Signatories to the Charter agree to participate in the Committee to produce the United States National Building Information Model Standard as a full partner in this development.
