Via Whole Building Design Guide:

The NBIMS Executive Committee has released National BIM Standard Version 1 – Part 1: Overview, Principles, and Methodologies for public use. This document, which includes contributions by more than thirty subject-matter experts in the capital facilities industry, incorporates industry comments and now contains new and expanded information about the NBIMS production and use process.

With the release of this document there remain many Building Information Modeling (BIM) issues to discuss, coordinate, and resolve, not only throughout the United States, but also with our international counterparts. It is hoped that this effort will facilitate discussion and lay the groundwork for ongoing organizational and operational activities.

The Executive Committee expresses sincere appreciation to all those who have contributed and continue to contribute to the creation of the National BIM Standard. As always, we invite participants to join the Committee to help shape and share in the transformation of our industry. There is no cost to download Version 1 – Part 1.
