Great news, everyone! The newest release of ANZRS is now available – you can now get your hands on version 3!
We have kept significant changes to a minimum, as promised, but have worked hard to take all your feedback into consideration and to present a new pack that would be easier to navigate, more helpful and hopefully more practical to implement – to whatever extent you wish to.

As a general summary of what’s happened since the release of ANZRS version 2:
- In the six months since its release, ANZRS version 2 has been downloaded more than 2,500 times from people spreading across 72 countries – far exceeding our own expectations!
- ANZRS and AEC (UK) BIM Standards initiative have a reciprocated endorsement agreement. The two organisations will continue to work together to improve their respective work.
- ANZRS implementation statistics are soon to be established via a short survey, but several key large projects and organisations have already committed to implementing ANZRS. The project value so far (that the ANZRS committee is aware of) tallies more than $6billion.
- ANZRS and AMCA’s BIM-MEPAUS initiative continue to work together, with Revit content for BIM-MEPAUS to be compliant with ANZRS.
We’ve responded to feedback, with a number of format changes:
- No password required to read the documentation.
- PDF Portfolio format omitted, making it easier to read on mobile devices and applications (e.g. iBooks).
- Improved graphic design and layout, including bookmarks.
- Additional discipline-specific checklists for compliance requirements.
We’ve also made some content changes:
- Checklists are now available as a separate download, for easier input and aggregation.
- Additional MEP subcategories have been added.
- Some improvements to Shared Parameters.
