7 Question. Why is take-up of BIM slow with SME house builders?

8 The answer may be: Because their needs are different to other BIM users?

9 Currently SME house builders: Construct 2-10 houses per year Their houses designs are often repetitive using or adapting previous designs Tend to use similar specifications and components for extended periods Probably PAS1192 procedures are not relevant to them?

10 Currently SME house builders: Design in 2D or 3D standalone CAD systems Estimate with Excel or Non-Integrated software Manage with simple project planning techniques Employ in-house staff or the same contractors

11 Currently SME house builders: On completion the developer provides the home owners a Homeowners Welcome Pack comprising: Boiler, Solar, White goods information and warranties General construction details etc. Probably COBIE documents are not relevant to them?

12 Currently SME house builders: The entire process is well rehearsed with everyone knowing their part For many, BIM is perceived as complicated and unnecessary If builders and developers are going adopt BIM it has to better and easier than what they already do!

13 What the house builder may not want: Sophisticated 3D CAD systems requiring expert users High end estimating tools which require expert users IFC linked systems which can be challenging to manage to ensure data integrity for the inexperienced

14 What the house builder wants: An easy to use, collaborative system A software toolset that facilitates information flow from initial concept scheme right through to handover to client Easy to learn and can be set up in a few days

15 What the house builder wants: A connected approach that doesn t lose data and doesn t waste time reworking the data Provides a single source of data That can be accessed and shared across the project team
