Abstract
This paper examines the design and development, over a 15 year period, of a newclassification system for the construction sector in the UK, which is now one of asuite of standards for BIM Level 2. The paper begins with some early work onspecification structures at RIBA Enterprises. It provides a critique of Uniclass1997 – the problem. It describes the revision of the classification standard, ISO12006-2 – a framework for the solution. The development of the new classificationsystem – Uniclass 2015 – the solution – is explored. This involved an interestingmix of dead ends and insights, praise and criticism, all part of the process ofdeveloping something completely new.
