Library Objects for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction: Recommended 2D Symbols of Building Elements for Use in Building Information Modelling
Also Known As:
BS 8541-2:2011 is a British Standard that provides guidance and recommendations for the use of symbols and graphic conventions in the construction industry. It is specifically focused on 2D symbols for building elements to be used in building information modeling (BIM).
The standard is primarily intended for those involved in the preparation of drawings for construction projects. It covers architectural and land registry symbols as the base for architectural drawing, modeling, and planning activities. More specific symbols for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural steel sections, and welding are deferred to other institutes with a greater understanding of their respective needs in the industry.
The standard is divided into different sections, including an introduction and a compendium. The compendium presents various groups of symbols, such as information devices, materials, land use, landscape, building components, pipes, ducts, drains, and sewers.
BS 8541-2:2011 supersedes the previous standard BS 1192-3:1987.
