Co Down Firm Achieves BSI Kitemark™ Certification

Construction News Image
A Co Down firm has become the first contractor in the UK and Ireland to achieve the highly recognised British Standards Institution (BSI) Kitemark™ certification for both BIM Design and Construction (PAS 1192-2) and Asset Management (PAS 1192-3).

GRAHAM's pioneering approach to Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been given the ultimate seal of approval.

BIM is an increasingly important part of the global construction market place, with governments around the world starting to make it a condition of contract.

Seen as a game-changer for the construction and asset management industries, BIM is a collaborative way of working that uses digital technologies to enable more efficient methods of design, construction and operation, ultimately driving out inefficiencies and reducing costs and environmental impact.

Melanie Dawson, Head of BIM at GRAHAM, said: "This prestigious dual UK and Ireland certification for BIM is a fantastic achievement and is testament to the GRAHAM commitment to investing in, and utilising, BIM and digital technology.

"The independent third party certification is a formal recognition that GRAHAM adheres to world leading standards. It gives our clients and stakeholders the confidence and assurance that we will deliver consistent excellence from project inception through to the asset management and beyond."

The BSI Kitemark is one of the most recognisable trust marks in existence today and demonstrates that each Kitemark approved product or service has gone above and beyond the normal requirements to achieve the highest standards.
