1 Black Country Constructing Excellence Club BIM Event Martin Huggins Senior R&D Consultant University of Wolverhampton Why Needed? 30% of construction is rework 60% of labour effort is wasted 10% loss due to wasted materials Mistakes and delays are the biggest added cost to a project 80% of inputs are identical SmartMarket Report, The Business Value of BIM in Europe,

2 Why Needed? Project Performance Information is exchanged as documents electronic but often on paper - which causes non-value- adding work, friction, data losses and errors Traditional document/ 2D-based process 3 The importance of BIM 2.32 Government will require fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by A staged plan will be published with mandated milestones showing measurable progress at the end of each year. 4 2

3 Why is it important? The BIM Hypothesis: Government as a client can derive significant improvements in cost, value and carbon performance through the use of open sharable asset information Defining BIM The RIBA, CPIC and BuildingSmart jointly proposed a definition of BIM for the UK construction industry: Building Information Modelling is digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility creating a shared knowledge resource for information about it forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life cycle, from earliest conception to demolition. All very Blue Sky. 6 3

4 Defining a BIM at the basic level B M I 7 Defining BIM IS NOT: Just a 3D model, Revit, Architcad, MicroStation, Tekla, or any other software offering.. Just another government initiative Just a way to make you buy more software Not next generation it is here!! IT IS MUCH MORE! 8 4

5 What is it? BIM is a form of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Defn: IPD is a project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures and practices from different disciplines into a process that collaboratively uses technology to harness the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction. 9 What is it? BIM stands for Building Information Model (Noun). A BIM is a data rich, intelligent, digital prototype of a physical building. It can contain data on: geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, Quantities & costs of materials, properties of building components, performance of systems, CO2 longer term operational efficiencies, personnel, programming, and more.

6 What is it? The BIM is not the end in itself. Here s your BIM 11 What is it? BIM works on the basis of collaboration in construction. The Intension is not to work in isolation All stakeholders in the construction process (Owner/Developer, Project Managers, Consultants, Contractors, Sub-contractors and Facilities Management) have access to the same design, cost and scheduling information at the same time. Environment requires a different business and thought process as disciplines are brought together earlier to share information and work practices. 12 6

7 What is it? Architectural *IM MEP *IM Structural *IM Combined to form Integrated BIM Visualisation for review, manipulation and checking. 13 What is it? A Knowledge Retention and Building Process 14 7

8 What is it? A Process based on Trust 15 The BIM Process? A New way of working 16 8

9 BIM Levels There are various levels of using BIM Important to know where we are and where we re going 2016 deadline The report for Government Construction Client Group (2011) proposed a BIM maturity level wedge 17 What is used to achieve? To combat all of the problems above and more. Planning 18 9

10 What is used to achieve? Contract Drawings 19 What is used to achieve? Detail Drawings 20 2 nd QSI Annual Conference & Networking Event 7 th November

11 What is used to achieve? Environmental Analysis 21 What is used to achieve? Space Planning 22 11

12 What is used to achieve? Clash Detection 23 What is used to achieve? Construction Management Integration of 3D Models with time (4D) and cost (5D) information Estimating and scheduling of materials and processes. Operations include: Quantity take offs Cost library linking Review and analysis Supply chain management A virtual construction model for managing and presenting 5D integrated information 24 12

13 What is used to achieve? 5D Cost Planning & Estimating 25 The BIM Interoperability Problem A word on exchanging data between software packages: Recognised universally as a problem, One BIM Solution utilises: Industry Foundation Class (IFC) file format A neutral file format that can exchange model data We need this to achieve full Level 3 BIM but 26 13

14 A word on COBie American in its development COBie UK 2012 is now the UK standard It s a way of sharing information about a building/facility in a structured (Non 3D) way COBie data can be presented as a spreadsheet. A complete spreadsheet is given to the client at time of handover 27 Example COBie File 28 14

15 Implementing Implementing BIM company wide is also a Process. Starts as a business decision Strategic will you be left behind Economic operational and project savings Cultural company culture Change management principles not all at once BIM Champion BIM Manager Not a CAD Manager, it s not just the software Company and project protocols, training, IT development. BIM Implementation Plan 29 Set up costs? Include: Software, hardware (upgrade), training, lost production and disruption. Return On Investment (ROI) ROI analysis: Justify technology purchase Agreement on why money being spent Document expected results BIM ROI analysis includes technology, productivity and training. Also consider market positioning and professional credibility

16 BIM Standards BS1192:2007 Collaborative production of architectural, engineering and construction information PAS Building Information Management Information requirements for the capital delivery phase of construction projects AEC(UK) BIM Protocols UK Execution plan template Protocol and templates for popular software platforms 31 In Conclusion The Government is saying it must happen soon Clients that are forward thinking are beginning to ask for it, Increase numbers of companies like yours have started implementation, The question is less and less should I adopt BIM? But more and more, can I afford not to implement BIM? 32 16
