The developer of a 28,000 sq. km. resort on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast, (TRSDC) The Red Sea Development Company, has become the first asset owner in the world to achieve the BIM Project Kitemark for its digital project delivery and adoption of BIM aligned to ISO 19650, awarded by the British Standards Institution (BSI).
John Pagano, CEO of TRSDC, said: “This certification is a remarkable achievement and demonstrates how serious we are about setting new standards throughout the design, construction and operations of our destinations. This way of working is an increasingly important part of the global design and construction marketplace and we look forward to sharing our knowledge with other projects around the world.”
Susan Taylor Martin, chief executive at BSI, said: “We are delighted to have worked with TRSDC on its adoption of international standards and specifically its market-leading BIM implementation.” The attainment of the Kitemark by TRSDC represents “an important milestone as the world’s first BIM Project Kitemark to be achieved by an asset owner”, she added.
