Popis: Procurement routes currently applied in higher education (HE) predate the use of life cycle Building Information Modelling (BIM) for the delivery of construction projects. To date, little has been done to align the various procurement routes used in refurbishing HE buildings with the novel opportunities offered via BIM. The importance of HE estate that it is nearly as large as the total National Health Service (NHS) estate and that both of these are significantly larger than the Government’s mandated estate. This chapter is a part of an on-going research project to determine whether procurement approaches influence the ability to use BIM techniques to deliver sustainable refurbished buildings in the higher education (HE) sector.
