SPM integration
• Took the details from the BIM model translated them into our
SPM requirements
• Ensured SPM could take the data needed
• Created a standard structure within SPM
• Imported the appropriate fields
• The import process took less than 2 minutes
Local (individual) Benefits
3D BIM data modelling is an additional up front cost… but
• New Architects and Draughts people are designing buildings in 3D
systems – so the additional cost is reduced
• Electronic plans are available throughout the life cycle of the
building (no redrawing)
• Reduces ongoing survey costs, “is it there?” and “how big is it?”
are already captured – allowing focus on Condition
• One building, one place, all information
Local Benefits (cont’d)
• Plans can be modelled through to SPM (or your AMIS) before the
building gets the green light, therefore operational costs become
part of the initial decision matrix
• It allows multiple design drawings to be modelled for both renewal
and maintenance at a low cost
• It allows multiple component iterations of a single model to be
modelled against each other in SPM
Local Benefits (cont’d)
• It can give FM/AM Managers electronic data from DAY 1
• You know where your assets are and what they are
• Allows evidenced based decision making

Managers to influence?
Where are WCC going next?
• We are looking at the Business case to go back and capture 3D data on
all our buildings
• We are building tools to improve the linkage out of Revit
• We are looking to build a custom SQL Database to store all 3D model
data, leaving SPM to do what it does best
• We are looking at electronic data submission of projects as Standard,
not as a nice to have
• Proof of Concepts for other design packages e.g. Archicad
Summary
• WCC are moving forward with capturing our buildings in 3D
• Other Asset Management streams are starting to require electronic data
submission
• We have proved that electronic data transfer from a 3D package is
possible, and with a little development will become easier
• We are happy to talk about what we are doing. This will eventually
return big dividends for the Council and NZ Inc.
• Haydn Read, Manager of the SAMP team has been out speaking to other
major Government building portfolio managers.
