ReMark Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The U.K. has a number of standards but unfortunately to see them you'll have to buy a copy unless you know someone who will share their copy with you. I used to have a copy of BS8888 but can't recall exactly where it might be. I'll have to look around and see if I still have it. I found it.

eldon Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I googled BS8888, and was looking at a copy on the web, all 100 pages of it, but is was dated 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Maybe out-of-date versions are free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Ferral Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The latest version of BS8888 is 2013. Not much changed. The 2011 version is a good start. However, BS8888 is only the guide to all the standards, of which there are many! If you are on AEC you might find the UK AEC BIM standard helpful. http://aecuk.wordpress.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
