PROVIDING RIGHT TYPE OF INFORMATION Intelligent briefing refurbish Idea Concept Design Build Manage Operate Redevelop Demolish The Argument …but we do have brochures, datasheets, specifications! Here they are...

INFORMATION A INFORMATION B

PROVIDING RIGHT TYPE OF INFORMATION All the information may be there, it may not be assembled in a uniform manner Making the information suitable for BIM

INFORMATION A INFORMATION B BIM BIM INFORMATION A

Where do

you INFORMATION B

think your information is used?

…….it can be used at any time and any where in the Life Cycle…..

…so where do I sit in the BIM delivery chain?

These are the questions everyone is asking…….

Why are peer organisations disjointed Why requirements are continuously Changing?

Which camp to follow?

Who is right?

mixed messages!

What technology do I need?

The Jargon What is IFC?

What is Uniclass?

What is COBie?

What is NRM?

Firstly - The Jargon dots joined

– the simple version

1. Everything to do with industry is being put into a DATABASE 2. BIM is all about assembling information in a pattern so it is easily accessible 3. This information about your products and services which becomes the DATA

Now ...to answer the most commonly asked questions

… and finally not forgetting The client early involvement, clear end-user requirements, understand what you want to achieve, will help drive BIM

Other choices

This is not essential for all groups.

For manufacturers & suppliers, having digital models in your armoury can give you a market edge ....so

what

are these The Models?

these are 3D models of your products, that contain the information required by BIM ....so

how

can you get these The Models?

create them yourself outsource them specialist houses develop them through local collaboration

The implications

getting the models

create them yourself outsource them specialist houses develop them through local collaboration       Low costs High tech investment Good quality control Easy to adapt Long learning period Long time to market       High cost No investment Difficult quality control Cannot adapt Short learning period Sort time to market       Distributed costs Distributed investment Good quality control Easy to adapt Short & distributed learning Sort time to market

CONCLUSIONS 1. BIM is about assembling information –

YOUR information

2. You & your company now

to accept this new way of assembling information 3. Your information should be

accurate and error free
