摘要:本文回顾了自上世纪七十年代以来英国政府的BIM策略, 即施工运营建筑信息交换(COBie)。尽管英国政府没有直接使用BIM这个通用术语，但是BIM技术被越来越广泛的使用，比如：伦敦希思罗机场第五航站楼项目等。英国政府也采取了一系列的举措去推进BIM技术在英国建筑行业的应用，比如中央政府白厅(Whitehall)指出了在政府采购中应用BIM的重要性，并规定所有的建筑和基础设施，不管新建的还是翻新的，都应该利用BIM技术统一管理；国家建筑科学研究院还制定了BIM国家级应用库；一系列的BIM相关的教育培训活动得以开展。因此，作者得出结论，全生命周期BIM应用迟早会被建筑业主采用，这点是毫无疑问的。

Abstract: This article reviews the British government's BIM strategy since 1970s, namely construction operations building information exchange (COBie). Although the British government did not directly use this generic term BIM, the BIM technology is more and more widely used, such as London Heathrow's fifth terminal project. The British Government has taken a series of initiatives to promote BIM technology in the UK construction industry, such as the central government (Whitehall) pointed out the importance of BIM applications in government procurement, and all of the buildings and infrastructure, regardless of new or refurbished, should take advantage of BIM technology in the management; the National Institute of Building Sciences has also developed a BIM national libraries; a series of BIM-related education and training activities have been carried out. Therefore, the author concluded that the whole life cycle of BIM application will sooner or later be adopted by building owners, this should be no doubt.
