    Study Notes

    Building Information Modeling (BIM)

    • BIM is an integrated digital model containing information about a building's assets, used for communication and collaboration throughout a building's lifecycle.
    • The Canadian Practice Manual for BIM (CPMB) defines BIM as "collaborative practices of creating, using and maintaining models in support of the lifecycle of a facility."
    • BIM processes are data-driven, making them more effective and helping to reduce errors compared to traditional 2D approaches.
    • BIM can be used to integrate design, construction, and facility operations.

    BIM Dimensions

    • BIM has multiple dimensions, each with its own unique focus:
      • 2D: Traditional 2D drawings for plans, sections, elevations, and details.
      • 3D: Adds volumetric and specific construction systems and/or details, views, and renderings.
      • 4D: Incorporates construction time scheduling and programming information.
      • 5D: Includes cost information.
      • 6D: Focuses on facilities management information.
      • 7D: Includes sustainability and health & safety information.

    BIM Implementation and Training

    • Implementing BIM requires training and office support for all levels.
    • Training categories include:
      • Introductory training: Focusing on basic technical skills in BIM tools.
      • Ongoing learning: Continued learning for all positions within the office, including a variety of topics.
      • Standards review and management: Review of BIM standards by all levels.
      • Continuing education: Intensified learning for BIM leaders.

    BIM Execution Plans (BxP)

    • BxP is a living document that outlines the BIM process for a project.
    • BxP should be tailored to the specific needs of each project and can be modified.
    • A typical BxP structure includes:
      • Project Information / Roles / Contacts
      • Goals and Uses
      • Process Design Maps
      • Information Exchange
      • BIM and Facility Data Requirements
      • Collaboration Procedures
      • Quality Control
      • Technology/Software
      • Model Structure
      • Deliverables

    BxP Updates

    • BxP should be updated periodically to remain relevant.
    • Reasons for updating include:
      • Change in project participants
      • Change in BIM model requirements
      • Change in software tools, model formats, or workflows

    BxP Development & Collaboration

    • The architect or contractor often takes the lead in developing the BxP.
    • The owner may contribute to outlining BIM requirements and deliverables.
    • The BxP should be a collaborative effort amongst all parties.
    • A BIM kickoff meeting should be held to review the BxP in detail.
