Royal Borough of Greenwich - What is BIM?

FRANKHAM CONSULTANCY GROUP

presents to:

DO YOU USE BIM?

Other than a digital-tool set you don’t actually use BIM, it is way of working, it’s what you do: information modeling and information management in a team environment.

The rich 3D experience; digital simulations; rehearsals of all stages of the design, build and operate process; and the information within the models facilitate well informed decision making resulting in better business outcomes, clarity, improved communication, removing risk and ultimately better efficiency.

Education

WHAT IS ?

A Consultant or Contractor with Appropriate Skills and Portfolio:

• Not judged solely on cost and quality of submission
• BIM Experience - Capability and Capacity
• Suitable Maturity Level for proposed projects
• Technological Delivery - IT Assessment
• Appropriate Team Members
• Collaborative Project Delivery
• IN HOUSE KNOWLEDGE BASE
• IN HOUSE SPECIALISTS
• The client is the start and the end of the information requirement

• The BIM process is nothing new
• Utilising BIM Standards helps to define objectives
• Important that you train or employ in house BIM specialists.
• Engage with pre-project Consultant expertise to improve specialist knowledge
• Gain team understanding of the requirements and responsibilities
• Demystify BIM terms relating to your needs and meaning behind the words and acronyms.
• Review in house standards, methods and procedures and keep it simple.

BIM(M) is a managed approach to the collection and exploitation of information across a project.

At its heart is a computer-generated model containing all graphical and tabular information about the design, construction and operation of the asset.

MARCH 2011

Strategy Paper for the Government Construction Client Group From the BIM Industry Working Group

"Government advised to mandate BIM on all central projects in excess of £50m."

JULY 2012

A Building Information Model is a rich information model, consisting of potentially multiple data sources, elements of which can be shared across all stakeholders and be maintained across the life of a building from inception to recycling (cradle to cradle).

The information model can include contract and specification properties, personnel, programming, quantities, cost, spaces and geometry.

A report for the Government Construction Client Group. One Year On Report and Action Plan Update

“2.32 Government will require fully collaborative BIM level 2 (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016.”

Frankham BIM Platform Autodesk Revit

MacLeamy Project Information Curve

Autodesk Revit - BIM software Platform (Multi discipline)

• BIM model linked to construction planning software
• Virtual ‘Tool Box’ talks on site using the 4D BIM model to explain:
• Short term work planning
• Health and safety risks
• Clash detection temporary elements and plant

What are the benefits of using BIM?

Autodesk Revit

• Reduction in scope for contract growth
• Improved co-ordination between disciplines
• Pre construction clash detection and review
• Improved design processes to reduce on design iteration
• Streamlined drawing processes
• Enhanced level of information eliminating design ambiguity
• Reduction in Abortive work and data re-entry
• Superior auditing tools and error checking interfaces
• Co-ordinated 3D model and information

Benefits to 4D & 5D Modelling Information

Construction Operations Building Information Exchange

AND

Peripheral BIM Management & Interrogation Tools for 3D, 4D and 5D Modeling

• Focus on value adding: not removal
• Visual record of measurement/programme
• Data Collaboration
• Risk reduction
• Early & improved value engineering
• Schedule simulation

• Faster Quantity Take-offs
• API - Construction rather than Design Object Quantities
• More detailed & accurate cost estimates
• Reuse cost data on future projects
• Clarity of design

What is COBie?

design

Essentially COBie is a 2D database representation of the model and associated information which can be read in a spreadsheet format within Microsoft Excel or similar

COBie contains a vast array of information including, but not limited to, zones, spaces, the relationship between them and asset information for the operation and maintenance of a project.

Specifying your requirements within your EIR can help you gain the information you need.
