Strategy and action plan bips specification tool Kim Streuli – ICIS Auckland,

Vision of the Strategy and Action Plan The bips specification tool is the industry's common professional platform for the development and exchange of relevant information on building elements across projects, processes and applications from the client brief phase to facility management, taking into account the digital development. 3

Strategy Action Plan The action Plan adresses the following five overall strategic objectives for bips specification tool: A. Digital specification tool and function in a BIM world B. Support different process phases C. Support quality and measurability D. Function in a global world E. Dynamic interaction with the outside world 4

A. Digital specification tool, function in a BIM world. bips specification tool has to be digitalised and should be able to function in a BIM world so data can be read, sorted and used digitally in all the processes where the specification tool data is used. 5

A. Digital specification tool / Function in a BIM world. 6 Application Structure of the building element specifications Digitalisation of building element specifications Standardised building element specifications Classification and identification Information Levels References

B. Support different process phases. 7 bips specification tool must support different process phases, including different levels of information and this information should, as much as possible, be processable in the later process phases. Specifications as a dynamic document Functional tender Applicability to subsequent processes

C. Support quality and measurability bips specification tool must support quality and measurability, including determining the quality and ensuring measurability of quality. 8

C. Support quality and measurability Control management Tolerance management Certification Quality management Measurability Occupational safety and health administration 9

D. Function in a global world. bips specification tools must to be developed to function in a global world where globalisation is expressed by a growing number of international assignments for Danish companies, and an increasing number of foreign companies in Denmark should be facilitated by the specification tool and be in line with the market needs. The Specification Tool in English Specifications systems in other countries 10

Strategy Action Plan E. bips specification tool must have a dynamic interaction with the outside world and to be in a close dialogue with its users in relation to the experiences of specification tool's operation. The professional communication with the outside world and the users must be strengthened. Involvement and experience Professional involvement and feedback 11
