Introduction
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process involving the generation
and management of digital representations of physical and functional
characteristics of a building. The resulting building information models
become shared knowledge resources to support decision-making about a
facility from earliest conceptual stages, through design and construction,
throughout its operational life and eventual demolition.
Eligibility
The BIM Manager Certification is available to both RICS members and non-
RICS members alike. All applicants must have a working understanding of
BIM in order to fulfil their current or most recent role.
Fees
There is an initial assessment fee as well as an annual subscription fee.
The annual subscription covers the monitoring of CPD records, recertification
and continuous promotion of the certification including the register of RICS
Certified BIM Managers.
