Jones Engineering obtain BIM Level 2 BSI Kitemark for PAS 1192-2:2013

Jones Engineering have received the BSI Kitemark for BIM Level 2 in accordance with PAS 1192-2:2013 (Design and Construction) certification from BSI (British Standards Institution).

Successfully passing an audit held in November 2018 makes them the first Irish engineering contractor to hold a BSI Kitemark for BIM (Design and Construction) certificate that covers mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems.

The BSI Kitemark builds on the Verification scheme that we successfully obtained at the end of 2017 for BIM Level 2 covering PAS 1192-2:2013 (Specification for information management for the capital/delivery phase of construction projects using building information modelling).

It demonstrates that our BIM processes, procedures and management systems on completed projects are fully in compliance with the standards set out within PAS 1192-2:2013 which also includes meeting the requirements of BS 1192:2007+A2:16 and BS 1192-4:2014.

This BSI BIM Kitemark will also have a direct association with the new ISO Standards of BS EN ISO 19650-1 and BS EN ISO 19650-2 which were published on the 18th January. This means that the transition from PAS1192-2 over to the ISO 19650 standards should be a seamless transition, with minimum impact on us aligning to these new ISO standards.

Jones Engineering said progressing from BIM verification to the BSI Kitemark enables them to build their business in the new era of digital technology and access global markets.

John O’Brien, BIM Manager, Jones Engineering said: “It’s a fantastic achievement for Jones Engineering, as very few organisations have obtained this BIM Kitemark of excellence. It shows that Irish companies are embracing Digital Engineering and are delivering BIM Level 2 projects to the highest of standards. Our focus is now about consistency, together with maintaining this Continuous Improvement philosophy within our BIM strategy.”
