2 Making buildings better 2 Overview - BIM  What?  Why?  How?  Potential….

3 Making buildings better 3 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.’

4 Making buildings better 4 The BIM Process 1Process for data management (BS 1192/PAS 1192) 2A method for housing the data (BIM software model) 3A method for distributing the data (COBie + other documents)  From inception to demolition

5 Making 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  Levels of maturity  BIM Level 2

6 Making buildings better 6 ‘Refined’ definition of Level 2 BIM “The seven pillars of (BIM) wisdom” 1.PAS PAS BS (available Autumn 2014) 4.BIM Protocol 5.GSL (Government Soft Landings) 6.Digital plan of work 7.Classification

7 Making buildings better 7 TSB competition  Digital Plan of Work  Classification system  Digital presentation tool

8 Making buildings better 8 PAS :2013 Specification for information management for the capital/delivery phase of construction projects using building information modelling

9 Making buildings better 9 Information in PAS :3013  Fundamental principles for Level 2 information management  Plain Language Questions (PLQ)  Employers Information requirements (EIR)  BIM Execution Plan (BEP)  Project Implementation Plan (PIP)  Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP)  Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP)  Project delivery team roles, responsibilities and authority

10 Making buildings better 10 PAS :2014 Specification for information management for the operational phase of assets using building information modelling

11 Making buildings better 11 Overview of information management in PAS  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”

16 Making buildings better 16 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”

18 Making buildings better 18 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.”

19 Making 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

20 Making buildings better 20 Digital Plan of Work

21 Making buildings better 21 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

22 Making 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

23 Making buildings better 23 ….so if you meet the requirements set out in these seven components, then you will be Level 2 BIM compliant.

24 Making 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

25 Making buildings better 25 BIM4FM

26 Making buildings better 26 Information to make better decisions

27 Making buildings better 27 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

28 Making buildings better 28 Organisational requirements  PAS

29 Making buildings better 29 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

31 Making buildings better 31 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 How? UK Government’s BIM Level 2 requirement by use of seven components (pillars). 4.Potential….There is a huge potential, particularly for operators
