BIM is integral to the Construction Strategy

BIM Strategy published June 2011

Also: Low carbon strategy Infrastructure strategy

BIM, CEEC, October 2011 www.bcis.co.uk

Strategy recommendations

Recommendations 1. Supply side responsible for infrastructure 2. Client contract requirements must be clear 3. Client must use the information it requires 4. Investment will be required but technology does not need to be complex 5. Changes should be in small steps 6. Target is level 2 of the maturity model in five years

BIM, CEEC, October 2011 www.bcis.co.uk

Governments Vision for BIM

Government as a client can derive significant improvements in cost, value and carbon performance through the use of open sharable asset information Culture Process

Industry Push Client Pull

Enabling the Government BIM Strategy

Government will pull BIM adoption by: Encouraging BIM use on publicly funded projects Setting consistent information requirements across the programme Specifying and collecting data from the BIM model Using the data to improve performance

BIM, CEEC, October 2011 www.bcis.co.uk

Enabling the Government BIM Strategy

Industry will push BIM competence Creating an infrastructure of standards, guidance and training Focusing industry on defined targets for benefits realisation Removing blockers to adoption Raising the trailing edge to a minimum level of BIM performance

Strategy application

Test of the value of BIM are that it should be:

Valuable Understandable General Non Proprietary Competitive

Open Verifiable Compliant Implementable 5 Year Programme

Strategy application

Strategy application.

The Strategy applies to all projects Buildings Infrastructure Refurbishment

The Strategy will only succeed if: Benefits realised General adoption Gains to supply chain

BIM, CEEC, October 2011 www.bcis.co.uk

Supply side responsibilities

Supply side responsible for infrastructure The client will define the data that is required from the BIM Leaving complexity where it belongs in the supply chain Define a none proprietary means for exchanging information - COBie

BIM, CEEC, October 2011 www.bcis.co.uk

Target

Target for all projects to deliver information at the level 2 of the maturity model within five years. Managed 3D environment held in separate discipline BIM tools with attached data. Commercial data managed by an ERP. (Enterprise Resource Planning software) Integration on the basis of proprietary interfaces or bespoke middleware could be regarded as pBIM (proprietary). The approach may utilise 4D programme data and 5D cost elements as well as feed operational systems.

Challenge for the QS

The effective adoption of BIM technologies by cost consultants and planners has been slow to date, and should this situation remain, then cost and programme services will not benefit from the productivity and speed of response that a settled BIM process can offer. This is not to say that the adoption of BIM will not be without its challenges, but that the professions cannot afford to be outside of the BIM loop.

BIM, CEEC, October 2011 www.bcis.co.uk

Challenge for the QS

Methods of measurement and duties may need to be reviewed to ensure that the appropriate information is produced so that measurement can be automated to a greater degreeMeasurement will be accelerated but discretionary skills will still be necessary. Clients should expect QSs and Project Managers to be familiar with BIM and actively develop ways in which processes can be made more cost effective and value adding

COBie

Construction Operations Building information exchange (COBie)

COBie is a means of sharing, predominantly non-graphical, data about a facility. It was developed in America and will need to be adapted for use in the UK and in Infrastructure. It is a nonproprietary format based on a spreadsheet so it can be managed by organisations of any size at any level of IT capability but can be linked to other systems and software. COBie transfers information to owner/occupier to manage their assets efficiently. It documents the asset in 16 linked spreadsheets. COBie will be adopted as the standard means of reporting data from a BIM. Reporting at specific stages is referred to as a COBie data drop.

Has anything changed? Has designed been over value engineered?

Did I get what I asked for? Data to manage my asset effectively.

The strategy is based on key principles

Strategy Setting the requirement dont force the market Taking incremental steps keep it simple to start Leaving complexity where it belongs in the supply chain Only asking for information if it will be used.and committing to use it Preparing for the leading edge..but focusing effort on the trailing edge
