Telford Homes is the only the fifth developer in Europe to secure the BIM level 2 Kitemark accreditation
Residential and mixed-use developer Telford Homes have achieved the Building Information Modelling (BIM) Level 2 Kitemark accreditation, putting their digital credentials at the forefront of the industry.
Telford Homes passed the assessment as both a developer and a contractor.
The Kitemark accreditation assesses ability and capability
Developed by BSI, the Kitemark system enables developers and contractors to differentiate and assert their BIM projects and credentials in relation to industry-recognised standards of the design and construction phases.
It provides an independent assessment of a company’s ability to deliver projects to contract requirments, management of supply chains and customer satisfaction.
BIM Level 2 Kitemark sets the industry benchmark for best practice, consolidating all project and asset information, documentation and data at the design and construction phases of a project using BIM processes.
Telford Homes secured the BIM Level 2 Kitemark accreditation after a three-day audit.
Increasing efficiency, reducing uncertainty
Husam Mostafa, technical director at Telford Homes, said: “The BIM Kitemark accreditation stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation in the industry.
“BIM accreditation – as both a developer and a contractor – places Telford Homes in an excellent position to secure institutional investment for our industry-leading projects, with faster and efficient processes, reduced uncertainty and on-site waste, and improved safety, all by-products of an impressive BIM system.
“This achievement positions us at the forefront of digital transformation in the UK’s built environment industry and will assist in meeting the government’s plans for the building safety act.”
Projects that will benefit include Capital Interchange Way in Brentford
