Bentley Institute?s Digital Advancement Academies have been named as the winner of the BIM Enabler/Consultant of the Year award at BIM Show Live 2019 in Newcastle upon Tyne, the UK

The annual BIM awards, part of the national conference, recognise the world?s best BIM work by celebrating exceptional and innovative use of BIM in the built environment.

The Digital Advancement Academies aim to provide a unique and neutral environment for industry innovators to openly discuss challenges and successes in the built environment, to accelerate and optimise digital and physical assets.

Commenting on the award, Iain Miskimmin, senior academies manager for Bentley Institute?s Digital Advancement Academies, said, ?Having helped to deliver some of the first projects in the UK to embrace a BIM strategy, it?s inspiring to see how far we have come, and how our Digital Advancement Academies continue to support leaders and innovators in the digital built environment to advance digital (BIM) strategies.?

The BIM awards were judged by experts in BIM strategy and implementation for the modern digital built environment. The awards were given in 10 categories.

The awards were announced the evening before the main programme kicked off for BIM Show Live 2019, which featured presentations by construction industry experts including David Philp, global BIM/MIC consultancy director at AECOM and co-author of Building Information Modeling for Dummies.
