There is a growing interest in the U.K. design and construction fields for national standards that every contractor and subcontractor can understand and follow.

National standards are already in place in the U.S. and, more recently, Sweden, both thanks to grassroots efforts by and for contractors, designers and other industry professionals who agreed they had more to gain by sharing standards than protecting their own internal methods.

Bluebeam Revu is among the prevalent PDF design platforms in the industry, so we have an interest in common standards for design and BIM. As a result, in recent years we have been helping to drive standardized approaches to design and construction technology in the U.S., Sweden and the U.K.

Meanwhile, in the U.K., The B1M, a global construction-industry YouTube channel, has a goal of inspiring and educating design and construction professionals—and changing the perception of the industry.
