What is BIM
BIM (Building Information Modelling)
– It’s not just 3D CAD
– It’s not just a new technology application
– It’s not next generation, it here and now!
BIM is essentially value creating collaboration through the entire life-cycle of an asset, underpinned by the creation, collation and exchange of shared 3D models and intelligent, structured data attached to them.

What is BIM?

The Origins of BIM
Quiz Time
Based on the last eleven years of KPI’s:
What percentage of projects come in on time and no budget?
~50%
Wolstenholme, 2009

The Origins of BIM
BIM was seen as a way to
Improve:
Cost
Carbon

The Origins of BIM

“Information is Uncoordinated…”

“Information is ambiguous… or why we need Standards”

“Information may be incomplete…”

“Information is uncoordinated…”

“Information is also geospatially incorrect…”

The Origins of BIM
Construction
Strategy
2011
– There is a detailed programme of measures
Government will take that will reduce costs by up to 20% by the end of this parliament.
–
Government will require fully collaborative 3D
BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016 . A staged plan will be published with mandated milestones showing measurable progress at the end of each year.

The Origins of BIM
BIS BIM Strategy
2011
– The Government as a client can derive significant improvements in cost, value and carbon performance through the use of open sharable asset information.

BIM Maturity Levels – Strategy Paper 2011
0 - Unmanaged CAD probably 2D, with paper (or electronic paper) as the most likely data exchange mechanism.
1 - Managed CAD in 2 or 3D format using BS 1192:2007 with a collaboration tool providing a common data environment, possibly some standard data structures and formats. Commercial data managed by standalone finance and cost management packages with no integration.
2 - Managed 3D environment held in separate discipline “BIM” tools with attached data. Commercial data managed by an Enterprise Resource Planning
System (ERP). Integration on the basis of proprietary interfaces or bespoke middleware could be regarded as “pBIM” (proprietary). The approach may utilise 4D
Programme data and 5D cost elements.
3 - Fully open process and data integration enabled by IFC
/ IFD. Managed by a collaborative model server. Could be regarded as iBIM or integrated BIM potentially employing concurrent engineering processes.

Working Paper
2012
Recommendations:
– Alignment with UK Government with all
Welsh Government funded projects at level 2 by 2016 and all Welsh Government
Department Projects to lead at level 2 by 2015 .
– A value or threshold for Wales could not be established in the timescales allowed. Collaborative working arrangements and internal business development should still be encouraged until such a value is set. Pilot projects are expected to inform the thresholds based on value and complexity by 2014/15.
– The following improvement areas are proposed: i. Added Value ii. Cost Predictability iii. Carbon Intelligence

Key Objectives and Milestones:
– Alignment with the UK Government Building Information Modelling
(BIM) strategy, with all Welsh Government funded projects at level 2 by 2016 and all Welsh Government Department projects to lead at level 2 by 2015 .
