The new members of the Construction Industry Council’s (CIC) BIM2050 Group met each other and some of the outgoing group members for the first time yesterday, at an event that marked the start of the new group’s two year tenure.

Comprising 14 young professionals representing most corners of the industry from a broad cross section of specialisms, the group includes architects, engineers, contractors, legal professionals and surveyors, all representing their respective professional institutions.

The members of the new (and second only) BIM2050 Group are: Tom Bartley (ICE); Sarah Birchall (BSRIA); Bobby Chakravarthy (APS); Henry Fenby-Taylor (LI); Adam Golden (ICES); David Knight (IstructE), Alex Lubbock (CIOB), Alex MacLaren (RIBA), Mac Muzvimwe (RICS), Charlie Murray (CIBSE); Daniel Rossiter (BRE); Ryan Tennyson(CIAT); with Will Hackney (CIOB) and Dwight Wilson (CIBSE) as acting stand-ins.

Also at the launch were David Philp, chair of the outgoing group; Neil Thompson, former vice chair, and now chair of the new group; and Louise Clarke, chair of the 2050 Group, which will be working collaboratively with its BIM2050 colleagues.

The group will meet in the coming weeks to plan its strategy and priorities going forward.
