Heathrow is one of the world’s most complex infrastructure environments – with a £4.5bn portfolio, including 450 projects, and 412 project managers, along with thousands of staff from delivery partners – so how does it manage its asset information?

A new nima working group is set to develop a framework and the associated tools to enable insurers to use structured information to evaluate project risk.

Dr Anne Kemp OBE, chair of nima and convenor of the 19650 suite of standards, was named Digital Construction Champion of the Year at the Digital Construction Awards 2026 last night (18 March).

Nima is once again sponsoring the Digital Construction Awards.

Nima is hosting its fourth annual virtual conference on 6 November, focusing on the practical implementation and measurable success of its Information Management Initiative (IMI).

Nima members want the organisation to focus on working with other industry bodies and the government, improving information management practices, and up-skilling in information management across the built and managed environment sector.

Nima is calling for construction business leaders to back the Information Management Initiative (IMI).

11 entrants have been shortlisted for Best Application of Technology at the Digital Construction Awards.

Nima has launched a membership scheme, aiming to provide a ‘home’ for information management practitioners. It also aims to represent members’ opinions on relevant topical issues, supported by regular polls and discussion forums.

The Digital Construction Awards attracted 170-plus entries this year, 85 of which have been shortlisted. Here, we detail the finalists for a new category: Best Use of AI.

IM4Power, the nima-associated network set to drive information management best practice in the power distribution and transmission sector, has appointed its first chair.

The Women in BIM (WIB) mentor scheme is open again for applications.

Are you happy at work? Could you be? Should you be?

The new Information Management Initiative, cost control in volatile times, and kits of parts and productization are the focus of forthcoming CPD webinars organised by BIMplus and Construction Management. 

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has appointed Ordnance Survey to run the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR).

Data, ethics and the law are the first topics to consider when bringing AI into a construction project or organisation.

Nima has reminded the industry that the foundation of successful deployment of AI technology is high-quality data.

The digitisation of construction product information is not on manufacturers’ radar, according to research from the Plain Language Group. The research reveals that 85% provide information via pdf or hard copy and just 8% have ever made a BIM object.
