Balancing BIM and heritage

Purcell are experts in Building Information Modelling (BIM) whether this is for new build projects or existing historic buildings (BIM for Heritage).

We are currently the architectural lead for the repair and refurbishment of the Queen Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) in Westminster, London. Our use of BIM as a shared 3D delivery model, has been crucial to all aspects of the project but particularly in coordinating the numerous technical interfaces.

Our work on the new build extensions for New College, Oxford for Sir Robert McAlpine has relied on 3D modelling to construct the complex roof structures across all new buildings. Purcell have provided BIM leadership on the project together with the technical design of the stone façades.
