Structural / architectural design

The standards and publications shown here give recommendations on a wide range of building and construction matters. They are essential reference for architects, developers, building owners, building managers, building contractors, engineering consultants and other interested parties. 

In addition, several Eurocodes apply to the design of structures. The Eurocodes microsite provides information and advice on their implementation and the latest publication schedules.

BS 1192:2007
Collaborative production of architectural, engineering and construction information. Code of practice


BS 1192 establishes the methodology for managing the production, distribution and quality of construction information, including that generated by CAD systems, using a disciplined process for collaboration and a specified naming policy.  BS 1192 is applicable to all parties involved in the preparation and use of information throughout the design, construction, operation and deconstruction throughout the project lifecycle and the supply chain.

The principles for information sharing and common modelling are equally applicable to building and civil projects.  BS 1192 is also a guide for developers of software applications to enable them to support its implementation through the provision of configuration files or application add-ons.
