What is Building Information Modelling (BIM)?

There are many definitions of what BIM is, but at its core BIM is:

‘…a managed approach to the collection and exploitation of information across a project.’

The BIM Process

1 Process for data management (BS 1192/PAS 1192)

2 A method for housing the data (BIM software model)

3 A method for distributing the data (COBie + other documents)

From inception to demolition

5Making buildings better 5

So why all the fuss now?

Government will require fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016.

Levels of maturity

Overview of information management in PAS 1192-3

Organizational information requirements (OIR)“data and information required to achieve the organization’s

objectives”

Asset information requirements (AIR)“data and information requirements of the organization in relation

to the asset(s) it is responsible for”

Asset information model (AIM)“data and information that relates to assets to a level required to support an organization’s asset management system”

Building Information Model (BIM) Protocol

“The Protocol identifies Building Information Models that are required to be produced by members of the Project Team and puts in place specific obligations, liabilities and associated limitations on the use of the models. The Protocol can also be used by clients to require the adoption of particular ways of working – such as the adoption of a common naming standard”

GSL (Government Soft Landings)

Soft Landings

“…a form of graduated handover for new and refurbished buildings, where the project team is contracted to watch over the building, support the occupant and to fine-tune the building’s systems for up to 3 years post-completion.”

19Making buildings better 19

Government Soft Landings (GSL) GSL

– Taken the principles of Soft Landings and developed it for use within its own procurement strategy

– Differences – the use of metrics to demonstrate compliance with the stated project outcomes

– Four focus areas:1. Functionality and effectiveness - buildings designed to meet

the needs of the Occupiers; effective, productive working environments

2. Environmental – meet Government performance targets in energy efficiency, water usage and waste production

3. Facilities Management – a clear, cost efficient strategy for managing the operations of the building

4. Commissioning, Training and Handover – projects delivered, handed over and supported to meet the needs of the End Users

Classification

Classification Searching for like ‘things’ in a

model Combining models as all ‘things’

are consistently classified Enabling the aggregation of like

‘things’ in a model for the purposes of measurement, purchasing, maintenance, etc

A common language for all people constructing and managing assets

22Making buildings better 22

Example: Classification in a hospital FM environment

Classify four ways: Spaces – every space is classified Activities – all the activities which can be carried out within each space are

classified Systems – the systems serving each space are classified Objects – the objects belonging to each system are classified

In the event of chiller failure: The spaces served by the chilled water system can be identified The activities affected within those spaces can be identified The objects in the rest of the system(s) can be identified

….so if you meet the requirements set out in these seven components, then you will be Level 2 BIM compliant.

24Making buildings better 24

The potential

Strip the waste from processes. Achieved by sharing information…. To enable right first time installation and operation that meets the needs of the users

Information about the use of the building which is informative to the operators

Better buildings, with clear operational efficiencies and

the best whole life value

BIM in Operations

The majority of operaters, owners and occupiers (69.0%) recognise that BIM will become increasingly important in day-to-day working practices within the next 2-3 years (if it is not already).

BIM is definitely here to stay and is growing in importance

Potential for Operations

FM engaged at start of construction projects with supply chain considering client input

User focus during the construction process

Competitive advantage in the FM supply chain

Clear understanding of operational risk

BIM Summary

1. What? a managed approach to the collection and exploitation of information across a project.

2. Why? Government will require fully collaborative 3D BIM (Level 2) as a minimum by 2016.

3. How? UK Government’s BIM Level 2 requirement by use of seven components (pillars).

4. Potential….There is a huge potential, particularly for operators
