Newmarket Square Hotel wins BIM Excellence Award at Irish Construction Excellence Awards

BAM Ireland’s Newmarket Square Hotel project in Dublin has secured a BIM Excellence Award at the Irish Construction Excellence Awards, underscoring the strategic advantages of advanced digital construction methodologies. Despite BIM not being a contractual prerequisite for the 151-bedroom hotel build, BAM proactively implemented the ISO 19650 process, yielding substantial improvements in project delivery. This digital-first approach fostered a fully transparent and auditable environment, enhancing visibility across the entire project ecosystem, encompassing architects, engineers, and specialist contractors. The integration of 3D models facilitated unparalleled stakeholder collaboration, transforming complex interactions into cohesive team efforts. With dedicated support from a BIM Specialist, the team effectively embedded modern BIM technology into daily workflows. The project’s success demonstrates that voluntary adoption of BIM, beyond mere compliance, can significantly increase certainty, minimise waste, and boost overall efficiencies. For senior construction executives, the Newmarket Square Hotel serves as a compelling case study for integrating BIM as an intrinsic operational tool, highlighting its capacity to drive superior project outcomes and digital transformation within the industry, even when not contractually mandated.
