Since 2008 Cadnet have worked closely with the University of Brighton Estates Department to overhaul their existing 2D property records into a coherent, standardised portfolio of BIM models. This BIM portfolio aims to future-proof the University's assets and increasing the value and usability of the data available to the Estates Department and their entire supply chain.

Cadnet's Approach Cadnet's BIM authoring services were applied in accordance with the University of Brighton's document and CAD standards specifications. Cadnet used the record drawings held by the University of Brighton in conjunction with survey data to ensure that the true 'as-built' nature of each building was recorded for the BIM portfolio.  In doing this the Cadnet team were able to maintain the required standard of quality of output required by the University. So far, Cadnet have worked on the following buildings and projects for the University of Brighton BIM portfolio:

• Production of coordinated working drawings for the Cockroft Building, Bishopsbourne Building and Checklands House
• Conversion of 2D drawings to BIM format for Aldrich Library, Falmer Gym, Maryfield House, Mithras House and Pavillion Parade
