• UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar

are the fastest growing

construction markets

• Heavy government

investments in transportation

infrastructure – huge housing

demand

• Government organizations

are mandating BIM

Mandate BIM utilization and availabe Standards:

Overview Middle East – Definitions and Standards

Mandate

is an official order to do BIM

on a project specific

guideline or specifications

is an authorized definition and a

level of service quality

Standard

No BIM Standards available in the Middle East

Many organizations are mandating BIM!

BUT

Overview Use Cases & Org. Case Study

10 Better projects need better processes.

• BIM is not only new technology

• Different concepts used (like the 3P

approach or The Five Components)

• BIM starts often in design phase and

continuously updated to as-built to support

operation

• Initial focus was on design support and

clash detection – BIM adoptions is

dramatically growing by contractors

2. BIM use cases and organizations

General Status

• Road and Rail projects are currently the

most important sector across Middle East

• Most often based on British and US BIM

standards

• Biggest BIM implementations are Riyadh

Airport, Riyadh, Jeddah and Doha Metro,

Lusail, Qatar Education City, Midfield

Terminal Abu Dhabi, Extension of Dubai

Metro, Museum projects in UAE and Qatar,

etc.

• Ashghal and RTA require BIM from design to as-built

• Qatar Foundation uses BIM for operation

• Dubai Municipality decided that all buildings > 40

stories; Facilities > 25,000 m2; all hospitals,

universities shall use BIM

• GAGA in Saudi Arabia and ADAC in UAE

• Qatar Rail and Riyadh Metro

• World Cup Stadiums 2022

Highest demand – low hanging fruits

• BIM Execution Plan to set project standards

• 3D Design development

• 3D clash detection as a quality gate for design

• 4D construction methodology animations

• Utilization of 5D methods to prove costs

• CDE according to BS1192 for all BIM data

• As-Built data according to COBie format
