Digital and BIM CPD covers the tools, standards and workflows that are transforming how construction projects are designed, delivered and managed. Building Information Modelling — now governed by the ISO 19650 international standard — is mandated on all centrally-procured UK government projects and is increasingly expected by major private sector clients. Beyond BIM, digital construction encompasses computational design, parametric modelling, digital twins, drone surveying, reality capture, artificial intelligence and data analytics. The resources in this category cover BIM fundamentals, ISO 19650 implementation, specific software tools including Revit and Civil 3D, and the broader digital transformation of construction practice.
The UK government's mandate for BIM on centrally-procured projects, published in 2011 and now embedded in procurement requirements across the public sector, has made BIM knowledge a baseline professional competency for architects, engineers and project managers working in the public sector. ISO 19650 — the international standard for information management using BIM — has replaced the previous PAS 1192 series and requires practitioners to understand common data environments, information requirements and the appointment process for BIM projects. Beyond compliance, digital tools are fundamentally changing what is possible in construction design and management, and professionals who lack digital competency risk being unable to contribute effectively to increasingly technology-driven projects.

ISO 19650 is the international standard series for managing information over the whole life cycle of a built asset using building information modelling. It replaces the previous UK PAS 1192 series and covers concepts and principles (Part 1), delivery phase (Part 2), operational phase (Part 3), and information security (Part 5). It defines the processes, roles and information requirements for BIM project delivery.
A Common Data Environment (CDE) is a single source of information used to collect, manage and disseminate documentation, the graphical model and non-graphical data for the whole project team. It is a fundamental requirement of ISO 19650 and enables controlled sharing and management of project information across the project supply chain.
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical asset — a building, infrastructure network or component — that is updated with real-time data from sensors and other sources. In construction, digital twins are used to monitor building performance, predict maintenance needs and support operational decision-making throughout the building's lifecycle.
