1 RICS Certification Building Information Modelling Manager Applicant guide rics.org

2 Introduction Introduction Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a building. The resulting building information models become shared knowledge resources to support decision-making about a facility from earliest conceptual stages, through design and construction, throughout its operational life and eventual demolition. The Building Information Modelling (BIM) Manager Certification recognises individuals who specialise in using the methodology to manage projects. Working to appropriate standards and processes, the certified BIM Manager will offer efficiencies in information handling and exchange in a collaborative, compliant manner. To achieve certification you need to provide the written material mentioned in this document, which RICS will assess. Certification is only awarded to individuals who are prepared to maintain the exemplary standards expected of RICS members.

3 Eligibility Eligibility The BIM Manager Certification is available to both RICS members and non- RICS members alike. All applicants must have a working understanding of BIM in order to fulfil their current or most recent role. To apply, you must have: five years of experience in a relevant sector, such as architecture, engineering or construction MRICS, AssocRICS, any degree or a recognised professional qualification (visit 12 months of practical BIM experience either in cost estimating or construction. If you are an RICS member, your application will not be considered: if RICS is currently investigating complaints about your conduct if there are disciplinary or conduct issues on your RICS record.

4 Fees Fees There is an initial assessment fee as well as an annual subscription fee. The annual subscription covers the monitoring of CPD records, recertification and continuous promotion of the certification including the register of RICS Certified BIM Managers. RICS members Non-RICS members Initial assessment fee VAT VAT Annual subscription VAT VAT

5 Application Application You will need to provide us with the following documentation for assessment using the template provided: a detailed CV drawing on experience and knowledge. This will include career history, supporting statements (500 words each) against each of your four competencies, detailing your knowledge and experience, with examples, and a record of your continuing professional development directly related to BIM. Visit rics.org/cpd for information on continuing professional development a word case study, with appendices where appropriate, which must cover your four competencies. You must demonstrate your personal involvement, knowledge, understanding and capability, and include a critical reflection (consideration of what went well and what you would do differently) a signed declaration agreeing to the terms and conditions of certification.

6 Certification Certification Once certified, you will be required to: pay the annual subscription fee undertake a minimum of five hours of CPD on BIM-related topics annually undertake recertification every three years.

7 Process Process Application Application form includes: career history 4 x competency statements (500 words each) CPD summaries (50 words each) one case study (2 000 words) signed declaration assessment fee. Outcome: Advised of eligibility within 20 working days after published application deadline. Assessment Written assessment completed by trained members. Outcome: Advised of result within 20 working days. Certification Payment of registration fee. Outcome: Listed on the register of RICS Certified BIM Managers. Annual obligations: payment of annual subscription undertake relevant CPD.

8 Competencies BIM technical competencies The competencies define the skills required to achieve certification. The nature of the BIM environment dictates that the skills required of a BIM manager are mutually interactive. However, for the purpose of application and assessment they have been categorised in the following pages. You are required to fully demonstrate four competencies set out below. Assessors will also expect you to demonstrate the mutual interaction of all five competency headings within your competency statements and/or case study.

9 Competencies You must demonstrate the following three core competencies. 1. BIM Initiation Learning outcomes 1.1 To understand the concept of BIM, within the context of process and activity aided by technology and big data and how this relates to the real estate and construction industries. Examples of knowledge/activities comprised within this statement Understanding of the BIM maturity model and government targets To understand the benefits and usage of BIM Be involved in the development of a BIM strategy. 1.2 To assess BIM readiness by reference to BIM maturity models. Understanding of the standards and working practices which apply to each level of maturity in your local market Understanding how the standards affect the different level of maturity Interpret supply chain capability and initiate any corrective action. 1.3 To understand the business case for BIM, taking into account costs and benefits, examining the major cost drivers, functionality and characteristics of a good BIM model. Understand how BIM outcomes relate to client needs Greater level of planning and conscious design development Opportunity for effective collaboration between different designers, suppliers, contractors and managers Wealth of data generated enables greater degree of analysis Possibility of reuse of design elements/components reducing redesign costs Potential use at facilities management stages Analysis of lifecycle cost and maintenance requirements. 1.4 To be able to demonstrate the creation of a convincing BIM vision. Have an understanding through example case studies of the costs and benefits To have reviewed and evaluated the appropriateness of BIM for a project. 1.5 To understand the process, content and production or evaluation of a BIM execution plan. Demonstrate an understanding of the content of an execution plan both from client- and supply-side perspectives Preparation of a BIM execution plan for client or senior management approval.

10 Competencies 2. BIM Process Learning outcomes 2.1 To understand the processes and standards that are applicable to the management of information about an asset throughout its lifespan. 2.2 To understand the need to engage with the right people at each stage of the project lifecycle for the implementation of BIM. 2.3 To understand the need for the right timing of information at each stage of the project lifecycle for the implementation of BIM. 2.4 To understand the need for the right information at each stage of the project lifecycle for the implementation of BIM. 2.5 To understand how standard construction classifications can aid BIM effectiveness and a review of common global systems in use. Examples of knowledge/activities comprised within this statement Application of PAS 1192, Parts 2 and 3, BIM Protocol, New Rules of Measurement, the Digital Plan of Work, the Employer s Information Requirements and Uniclass. Understand and review the typical roles and responsibilities of project team members and the optimum project structures.

11 Competencies 3. BIM Collaboration and integration Learning outcomes 3.1 To understand the key interaction of process, technology and people in a BIM environment. 3.2 To understand the benefits of greater collaboration and integration in construction team-working and how BIM can bring this about. 3.3 To examine the tools and techniques that support enhanced collaboration among the project stakeholders. 3.4 To be aware of the key roles of the construction clients and what makes an informed client.
