What is BIM

BETTER INFORMATION MANAGEMENT What is BIM BETTER INFORMATION MANAGEMENT BIM (Building Information Modelling) It’s not just 3D CAD It’s not just a new technology application It’s not next generation, it here and now! BIM is essentially value creating collaboration through the entire life-cycle of an asset, underpinned by the creation, collation and exchange of shared 3D models and intelligent, structured data attached to them. http://www.bimtaskgroup.org/bim-faqs/ There are many different definitions, and instead of giving my own This quote is taken from the task group website

What is BIM? Word cloud: The words appear larger the more often they are used. This word cloud uses the complete text found within BS1192-2:2013 Information is key. Where is 3D ? IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MODEL

The Origins of BIM

The Origins of BIM Latham Report Egan Report Accelerating Change 1994 Egan Report 1998 Accelerating Change 2002 Never Waste A Good Crisis 2009 Latham Report: Industry should move away from adversarial construction, integrated approach should be adopted Egan Report: Construction in underperforming Recommends 10% reduction in cost & time, 20% reduction in defects via integrated projects Accelerating Change: 20% of construction (by value) to be integrated. 50% by 2007 Never Waste a Good Crisis: Demonstrations have shown that cost, time, defects can be achieved through integration. The industry has not performed. Lack of cohesive industry vision, no incentives for change, too many industry bodies, industry driven by economic forces

The Origins of BIM Quiz Time Based on the last eleven years of KPI’s: ~50% What percentage of projects come in on time and no budget? Wolstenholme, 2009 Taken from Never Waste a Good Crisis

The Origins of BIM Cost Carbon BIM was seen as a way to Improve: From these reports BIM was to be focused with two keys drivers in mind. Cost and Carbon

The Origins of BIM “Production Information is generally, incorrect, incomplete, uncoordinated and ambiguous” Avanti published ‘Production Information’ using the tagline that ‘Production Information is generally, incorrect, incomplete, uncoordinated and ambiguous’. This was later used as the basis for the BS1192 series

“Information is Uncoordinated…” This image shows an architects drawing in Blue with the engineer drawings overlaid in Red. D046 doesn’t’ appear on the engineers drawings, walls clash, the stairs clash

“Information is ambiguous… or why we need Standards” This scenario is directly addressed within BS8541-2:2011. Filled circles are described as ‘from within outline’, but if a filled arrow head had been used it would have meant ‘from outline’, pointing at the smaller circle. By following the standard this would be avoided!

“Information may be incomplete…” This drawing was incomplete, it lacked topographical and tree survey information, which resulted in…

“Information is uncoordinated…” In 1999 NASA famous lost a £125m probe due to consultants using a mix of metric and imperial units. Information needs to be co-ordinated correctly

“Information is also geospatially incorrect…” In 2003 a Swiss / German joint project. The Laufenburg bridge came together with a difference of 540mm as different sea levels datums were used. Agreed standards would have resolved this. Cinema in Cambridge was constructed 750mm out of place, planning issue and the cinema had to be demolished and rebuilt

The Origins of BIM Construction Strategy 2011 There is a detailed programme of measures Government will take that will reduce costs by up to 20% by the end of this parliament. Government will require fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016. A staged plan will be published with mandated milestones showing measurable progress at the end of each year. Essentially the Government has decided it does not want to spend money on waste and defects, and one of the ways to hit its 20% target is through BIM. By collaborating, the cost of defects and design can be decreased. The industry needs to adopt if it wants any government money.

The Origins of BIM BIS BIM Strategy 2011 The Government as a client can derive significant improvements in cost, value and carbon performance through the use of open sharable asset information. This idea is reiterated in the BIM strategy document

BIM Level 2 Requirements

BIM Maturity Levels – Strategy Paper 2011 0 - Unmanaged CAD probably 2D, with paper (or electronic paper) as the most likely data exchange mechanism. 1 - Managed CAD in 2 or 3D format using BS 1192:2007 with a collaboration tool providing a common data environment, possibly some standard data structures and formats. Commercial data managed by standalone finance and cost management packages with no integration. 2 - Managed 3D environment held in separate discipline “BIM” tools with attached data. Commercial data managed by an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP). 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. 3 - Fully open process and data integration enabled by IFC / IFD. Managed by a collaborative model server. Could be regarded as iBIM or integrated BIM potentially employing concurrent engineering processes. 0 – Standard CAD office 1 – Uses common data environments and standard data structures 2 – Uses a federated model (model made up of multi discipline models), and library management 3 – IFC / IFD driven BIM via cloud based servers. No clear indication on how this’ll look at present

UK Standards for BIM BS1192:2007 PAS1192-2:2013 PAS1192-3:2014 (COBie) BS 8541 Series To help you achieve BIM level 2. There are a number of British Standards available BS1192:2007 Common data environments and file naming (required to achieve level 1) PAS1192-2 information management during CAPex using BIM PAS1192-3 information management during Opex using BIM PAS1192-4 COBie BS8541 series looking at object naming, level of detail and standard symbology

BIM Industry Documentation PI For BIM (CIC) BIM Protocol (CIC) Uniclass (CPIC) Digital Plan of Work (BIM Task Group) CPIx Online (CPIC) ? ? Uniclass and dPOW are currently outstanding. RIBA enterprises has one a TSB bid to develop them during the next 6months

BIM in Wales

Task Group Working Paper BIM in Wales CEWales BIM Task Group Working Paper 2012 Recommendations: Alignment with UK Government with all Welsh Government funded projects at level 2 by 2016 and all Welsh Government Department Projects to lead at level 2 by 2015. A value or threshold for Wales could not be established in the timescales allowed. Collaborative working arrangements and internal business development should still be encouraged until such a value is set. Pilot projects are expected to inform the thresholds based on value and complexity by 2014/15. The following improvement areas are proposed: i. Added Value ii. Cost Predictability iii. Carbon Intelligence Only Welsh Govt. response being the construction procurement strategy (next slide)

BIM in Wales Welsh Construction Procurement Strategy 2013 Key Objectives and Milestones: Alignment with the UK Government Building Information Modelling (BIM) strategy, with all Welsh Government funded projects at level 2 by 2016 and all Welsh Government Department projects to lead at level 2 by 2015. No official response from Welsh Government as of yet

The CLAW All Wales BIM Toolkit BIM in Wales Contains: Introduction Setting the BIM Scene Business Case IT Investment Employer Information Requirements Template Employer Information Requirements Example Glossary of Terms Procurement Guide BIM and GSL Guide Collaborative Maturity Assessment Tool Standards and Protocol Reference The CLAW All Wales BIM Toolkit 2014 (Draft) Aimed at clients to allow for a consistent BIM approach in Wales as it will be utilised my all 22 local authorities when tendering for BIM related schemes.

How BRE Can Help www.bre.co.uk/BIM We at BRE can help achieve these requirements through our Education, Certification and Consultancy Services

BIM Level 2 Training Course BIM Foundation Course (AP) Covering BIM processes, procedures, information models, management and collaboration BIM Level 2 PAS1192-2 Project Information Manager (PIM) Task Information Manager (TIM) Project Delivery Manager (PDM) BIM training courses are available normally at our Watford office. However, from the new year I will be presenting them as well from our Swansea office. We can even come to you if you can get sufficient numbers, and arrange the venue (15+). Can discuss training with me further after the presentation if you wish.
