“Demystifying BIM “ - ask the unaskable.... What is BIM ? Does it matter to me? Simple and relevant exploration of the principles, drivers and terminology Open Q&A session and discussion Discussion and debate session – Ground Rules ? Interactivity vs Death by Power point – please participate Agenda 8.00 Refreshments 8.30 presentation starts 10.00 – Brew / comfort Break 10.15 Q&A and Discussion 11.30 finish & safe journey Quick Acid Test / Reality Check Never used 3D, clash detection, integration or other BIM tools on a project Is BIM perceived a core competency / skill in your business ( now or in future) Not at all, or only vaguely, familiar with BIM levels Outstanding Industry performance ? National Audit Office Report and Analysis UK construction spend £ 55 billion p.a. 80% influenced by Public Purse Performance 1999 On Budget 25% On Time 34% 2011 KPI statistics – 56% of UK projects on Time and Budget Sustainable Construction and Buildings • • • Buildings use 46% of all energy – up to 70% in major cities Construction uses 53% of primary materials Construction has second biggest environmental footprint after food • 13 million tonnes of materials delivered and • • 90 million tonnes of waste – 3 times domestic output 21% of all hazardous waste in UK is construction waste not used Why accept this ?........ 92% of clients said that designers’ drawings are typically not sufficient for construction 37% of materials used in construction become waste 10% of the cost of a project is typically due to change orders 38% of carbon emissions are from buildings not cars CMAA Owners survey 2005, CMAA Industry Report 2007, Economist Magazine 2002 Someone thought it was time for change…… “Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein The Client’s Perspective Bedding FM into Design, Construction and Operational phases DESIGN Design Reviews Technical Health Checks FM Sub Groups Sustainability and energy Catering Fire & Security Power & supply Material and components Maintenance and access Waste Risk and business continuity CONSTRUCTION FM Sub groups Prepare to receive building Familiarise team with environment Up skill / train team Procure FM Contracts Establish FM Management Systems (pilot web based tools) Attend commissioning Training Hand-over End user readiness workshops OPERATE Mobilise FM Contracts/SLAs hard and soft FM Mobilise FM web based management systems Support DLP process Implement Quality and performance reviews Fire risk assessments Health and Safety management Risk / Business continuity Asbestos Management plans Media affects our thinking Design by experience - physical models Back to the illustrative representation Manual drafting and tracing, highly illustrative drawings Integrated BIM Requirement for building permit drawings in Finland Manual drafting, copying machines, simplified/abstract representation Early CAD = automated drafting Modelling Interoperability Simulation Collaboration platforms Future technologies 1775 1900 1985 2000 2010 2012 Hypothesis “Government as a client can derive significant improvements in cost, value and carbon performance through the use of open sharable asset information” Push Me, Pull me Looking at both: • Supply chain “Push” – how to make easier for the supply chain to make use of BIM(M) • Client “Pull” and specifying a set of data to be provided by the supply chain to the client at specific times. Hypothesis • • • • • • • • • • Valuable: the overall aim is to maximise client value Understandable: the approach is to be presented in an understandable learning package for all 44,000 government asset procurers. General: the approach is equally applicable to buildings and infrastructure, whether large and small. Non Proprietary: All requirements are non-proprietary as to applications and as to the required formats of the deliverables. Competitive: Wherever possible there are at least two solutions or methods available so as to minimise market influence in terms of anti competitive clauses. Open: Wherever possible, low-cost methods are to be made available to allow all stakeholders to participate, irrespective of size and experience, so as to minimise barriers to involvement. Verifiable: all contractual expectations are documented with transparent and testable measurement of pass / fail. Compliant: Measurement of WLC/Carbon/Sustainability/etc are to published GB, EU and ISO standards Implementation: the approach is self funding by the industry Timescale: the approach is phased in over 5 years What is BIM ? Image by courtesy of Autodesk “An integrated digital process providing coordinated, reliable information about a project throughout all phases, from design through construction and into operation” Paul Morrell – Government Chief Construction advisor • "We have commissioned a team...to prepare a route map that shows how we can make a progressive move to the routine use of BIM. • I am convinced that this is the way to unlock new ways of working that will reduce cost and add long-term value to the development and management of built assets in the public sector, but the move needs to be made on a basis that is secure, that works for Government clients and those who deliver services to them... • The team will report to the Construction Clients Board ...and I hope and believe it will mark the beginning of a commitment to a timed programme of transformation". Working Group •The Working Group was set up in the spring of 2010 and is supported jointly by Construction Sector Unit and Electronic and IT Services Unit at BIS. •Co-Chaired by Mark Bew (Scott Wilson and BuildingSMART) and John Lorimer (Manchester City Council) •In September 2009 report on WG was presented to Government Construction Clients Board •The Board: - Endorsed progress to date - Agreed to adopt the working group and to receive its final report in March 2011 Govt seeks to be greenest thing since Kermit the Frog !

Phases Tasks Problems: • process 80% human issues • skills • technology } 20% technology } Actors BIM a 3D modelling system that involves data sharing between all the contractors on a project to create a digital model that can be used from a project’s early design stages through to completion and monitoring of subsequent performance. Integrated BIM-based process Information is shared in an exploitable data format directly between different systems; BIM - Building Information Model Different image: What if you are the only node?
