Study Notes
Building Information Modelling (BIM)
- BIM is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure project
- Drivers that led to BIM include the need for improved collaboration, data accuracy, and efficiency in the construction industry
Key BIM Terminology
- Information Model: a digital representation of a project that includes data, graphics, and documents
- Information Management Maturity Stages (ISO 19650-1): a framework that assesses an organisation's ability to manage information effectively
- Common Data Environment (CDE): a single, shared repository of project information
- Building Information Modelling Execution Plan (BEP): a document outlining the approach, roles, and protocols for BIM implementation on a project
Advantages of BIM
- Improved collaboration and data accuracy
- Reduced errors and costs
- Enhanced project outcomes and facility management
- Benefits for design and construction professionals: improved design quality, enhanced collaboration, and increased efficiency
- Benefits for facility owners and operators: improved maintenance, operation, and management of facilities
Project Information Management with BIM
- Appointing parties must clearly define their requirements for successful project information management
- A BIM Execution Plan (BEP) outlines the approach, roles, and protocols for BIM implementation on a project
- Consistent information exchanges are required for effective collaboration and data accuracy
- A Common Data Environment (CDE) provides a single, shared repository of project information
- Clearly defined information management roles are required for effective project delivery
- Assessing potential supply chain members before appointment is essential for successful project delivery
Open and Interoperable Solutions
- buildingSMART: an international organisation promoting open, interoperable solutions for the built environment
- openBIM: an open, interoperable solution for BIM implementation, offering flexibility and scalability
- Industry Foundation Classes (IFC): an open, international standard for building information exchange
- Model View Definitions (MVDs): provide a common language for data exchange between different software systems
- Implementer Defined Models (IDMs): custom models for specific industries or applications
- buildingSMART Data Dictionary (bSDD): a standardised data dictionary for the built environment
- BIM Collaboration Format (BCF): a format for issue tracking and communication in BIM projects
BIM Capability within an Organisation
- Adopting BIM can bring significant benefits, including improved efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness
- BIM maturity is defined by an organisation's ability to implement and manage BIM effectively
- Factors that define an organisation's level of BIM maturity include people, process, and technology
- BIM adoption should align with organisational goals and objectives
- Data security is a critical consideration for BIM adoption, with implications for data management and protection
