Industry leader teams with service provider to launch BIM services portfolio ATLANTA, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Reed Construction Data (RCD), a leading international provider of construction information solutions, announced today that it has partnered with RCMS Group, an innovator in providing building information modeling (BIM) services to the building design and construction market. The agreement is primarily intended to promote the creation and distribution of intelligent building content to the AEC community, including building product manufacturers, architects, general contactors, and sub- contractors. For this partnership, both companies are focused on creating content and building models for the Autodesk(R) platform, and specifically Revit, which allows an architect to use the content in both the conceptual stage and the design process. "There is roughly $400 billion in new, non-residential development underway in the U.S. each year, with about $15 billion of that allocated for building design. Given the size of the market and the relatively early stage of BIM adoption, the opportunities to grow the BIM market are significant," according to Iain Melville, CEO of Reed Construction Data. "This partnership is important to both companies because we share a clear vision for the future of the building design and construction industry. That future clearly includes BIM," said Melville. "We look forward to combining Reed's industry-leading information services with RCMS Group's service-driven BIM modeling expertise."
