T THE CASE STUDY PART 2
T THE PROJECT Starting with the end in mind 54m project completed in 2017 in Bristol's iconic University in Filton Full BIM Level 2 compliant COBie Exchanges 1 through to 6 All data linked to Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) software
M WHY BIM? PRE-BIM Contractor must supply asset list using UWE's coding system POST-BIM Standard COBie and Uniclass coding Poor data delivery Data available on all components not just the ones needed for maintenance
M ORGANISATIONAL INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS OIR WHAT? Work with your stakeholder to create some statements about what they need and why. "As a <type of person> I want <some information> so that <some reason> ENERGY TEAM: As an energy manager Kirsti wants to know the energy usage of appliances, so that UWE can gain ISO50001 certification. GROUNDS TEAM: As a grounds team member, Richie wants to know the number, position and age of trees so that he can produce a planting strategy for new trees. HELP DESK: As a member of the help desk Samantha wants to know what trades person to send to fix a fault, so that when something fails the right skills are sent to site to repair.
M ASSET INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS AIR OIR TRANSLATION: Stakeholders have requirements for information, BIM isn t always the right answer. DATA to INFORMATION: Is there a requirement for the data to be processed: sum, average, multiplied? If not maybe the data doesn t add any value from being in the model. WHAT IS THE AIR?: The policy on what data needs to be collected in the model, who has the responsibility to record it, the format it should be recorded in and where in COBie should the info come through?
M EMPLOYERS INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS EIR AIR TRANSLATION: The policy written in the AIR should be written into a contractual EIR document unless the AIR is a contractual document. LEVEL OF DETAIL: Depending on how the model will be used at handover the client should specify the minimum LOD that meets their needs. WHAT ELSE IS THE EIR?: Every contractual requirement of the model from data security to file naming.
M BIM EXECUTION PLAN BEP PRE-CONTRACT BEP The Pre-contract BEP forms part of the tender documentation, it contains the contractors response to the client EIR. POST-CONTRACT BEP : Re-submitted by the supplier to show all relevant parties have agreed and committed to the BEP. The BEP facilitates the management of delivery of the project. The postcontract BEP will develop in detail over time as more members of the supply chain are appointed. It should include: -TIDP (Task Information Delivery Plan) -MIDP (Model Information Delivery Plan) -Methods and procedures
M WHY DATA? INTELLIGENT BUILDING MANAGEMENT Example: Works request WR657408 took 0.6hrs to change a light bulb, this quite typical because the contractor has to attend site, find out what part they need then travel to the stores and return to site. With BIM information the contractor will be told what part they need before attending site, this will half the time taken. In the last two months 858 light bulbs have been changed @ 25hr this represents an annual saving of 38,610.

T UNDERSTANDING DATA PART 3
WHAT IS DATA? A DICTIONARY DEFINITION T
T WHAT DOES DATA LOOK LIKE? Data is both Graphical and Non Graphical Data consists of 2 categories which are Level of Detail (LOD) and Level of Information (LOI) Level of Detail is regarding the graphical representation of an object and should run in line with the RIBA stages of works Level of Information is referring to the amount of data attached to an object by which the maximum level of information available is defined by the product itself.
T LEVEL OF DETAIL *Main difference with MEP components Not Architectural!* LOD 2 LOD 3 LOD 4 LOD 5 Graphical representation of the element, dimensionally correct Visual development showing coordination for general size and primary relationships between different elements of the construction. Graphical representation of system, dimensionally accurate indicating primary performance characteristics. Visual representations showing final coordination for size and relationships between different elements of the construction.
M EXAMPLE OF LOD 6 The As Built Model A True reflection of what is on-site Accurate connecting pipes/cabling/ducts Knowledge of the sub components inside of the main asset. Eg filters
T LEVEL OF INFORMATION LOI Stage Description Example (Door) 1 General project information Contact details, location and address 2 A simple description outlining design intent. 3 The specified overall performance of the deliverable. 4 The prescribed generic products that that meet the desired overall performance requirements. 5 The prescribed manufacturer products that that meet the generic product specification. 6 The key properties to be transferred into an asset database Between Reception and Admin. Must have appropriate fire rating and acoustics to provide a comfortable environment for the adjacent restaurant. Structural performance: Medium duty to BS 5234-2. Fire performance: 30 minutes to BS 476. Acoustic performance: 50db. 42mm Doorleaf (FR30) Kickplate Vision Panels 42mm Doorleaf (FR30) Kickplate (750 x 200) Vision Panels (200 x 450) BarCode: RFID Code Expected life: 25 years O&M Manual: Hyperlink Warranty start date: 2016-06-28T23:59:59
HOW DO WE DELIVER DATA? GRAPHICALLY T
T HOW DO WE DELIVER DATA? NON-GRAPHICALLY COBie Data Schema (UK-2012) Delivered to the client at stages 1, 2, 3 & 6. Each level progressing in amount of information Utilises Uniclass 2015 as a categorisation tool for systems, elements, products, spaces and more.
T I WANT ALL THE DATA PLEASE STANDARD COBie COBie data schema involves lots of information Not all data parameters are necessary for each object - maximum level of information is defined by the object itself Not all parameters are wanted from the client - choosing the right data is good data 17 SHEETS 236 PARAMATERS
M I WANT ALL THE DATA PLEASE CUSTOM DATA APPROACH UWE categorised objects into suite of platinum to bronze, ranging in importance Each category had a specific level of information required, custom to UWE COBie data schema allows for flexibility, meaning a recognisable delivery was still achievable
M WHAT FOR? COMPUTER AIDED FACILITIES MANAGEMENT (CAFM) Custom Data requirements to include items that classify objects into Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Each category contains a certain level of information required such as: Power Replacement Cost SFG20 maintenance code Sub component link Fire Rating Life expectancy
T DELIVERING FBL DATA PART 4
DATA EXCHANGES Delivery Times and Purposes T
T COBie DATA EXCHANGES DATA INPUT Step 1 Uniclass 2015 Complexes describing the project in overall terms Spaces/locations Describing different types and uses of rooms etc. Levels Describing each level of the building Elements Describing the main components (Revit system families) Systems Describing a collection of components Products Describing the individual components that make up a system (Revit component families) Products then filtered into platinum, gold, silver and bronze for UWE Asset listings.
T COBie DATA EXCHANGES DATA INPUT Step 2 COBie Exchange 3 Use COBie extension toolkit Covert Uniclass codes into readable format Publish parameters to all components Input all Uniclass codes for zones, spaces, elements, systems and products into Revit geometry Export IFC File
T COBie DATA EXCHANGES DATA INPUT Step 3 COBie Exchange 6 Revit express tools (CTC Suite) external BIM tool Create custom schedules based upon LOI and issue to subcontractors for population Lock down cells for accurate input based upon COBie schema Receive back and publish back to geometry Check data has been populated into geometry correctly before re-exporting to IFC format
T Validating the COBie Data Step 1 Reporting Errors Check Rulesets in Solibri to identify errors (missing or incorrect data) Issue reports back via BIM Collab Fix in native software Re-run checks to make sure issues have been resolved
T Validating the COBie Data Step 2 Exporting COBie Report Import all IFC s into Solibri Run checking rulesets to ensure COBie is correct Select all maintainable assets Export COBie sheet based on this information
Validating the COBie Data Exchange Formats All the data, Everywhere T
M LINKING BIM TO CAFM Part 5 - Turning Asset Data into Knowledge
M COBie to CAFM Linking COBie to Archibus Check COBie spreadsheet for errors through validation V-lookup s Data validation Use the native Revit models to link to Archibus (CAFM) software Manually check that all CAFM mapping is correct Start using the software to raise PPM s, Works Requests and Statutory Inspections
M Beneficial Outcomes Benefits to linking COBie to CAFM Lack of data as no established structure for collecting it Huge amount spent on collecting asset information retrospectively. No real consistency between every project or estate Poor budget, as lack of information didn t inform cost Data obtained effectively through the processes and procedures set by BS/PAS1192 PPM s managed at asset level from Revit model using SFG20 as a standard Improved standard for all future projects across the entire estate Data allows life cycle costing which improves budgeting saving money
M Archibus In Action An insight into what having data brings - Asset Data Raw Data Data mapped straight from Revit model to save time PPM SFG20 codes taken from model to organise maintenance regimes Uniclass coding adopted to introduce unification across UWE estates Logical description from the model explains what the item is
M Archibus In Action An insight into what having data brings Work Requests Raw Data Room, Level, Zone of each element is included in the data, making components easy to find This allows quick and efficient work requests should a bulb blow, door break etc.
M Archibus In Action An insight into what having data brings Asset Information Each asset is populated using data from the model This includes data like: Replacement Cost Manufacturer Condition Installation date Room number/name
T SUMMARY Part 6 What does this tell us?
T Data It s the Future Data can be delivered in a unified format Client expectations are clear, meaning lack of time wasted on delivering unusual information Data is being used rather than delivering lots of information that just sits there Time and Money is saved for the client during the operations and maintenance of a building This will have an impact on future design as data is now knowledge of how a building is working
M Education UWE has a great offering of construction related courses: Computer Science and Creative Technologies Architecture and the Built Environment Engineering Design and Mathematics Geography and Environmental Management Including an MSc in BIM in construction and Operations.
M What s next? Goals A Digital representation of every fixed object Master lifecycle management Collaborate and add value Practice what we teach Avoid duplication single source of truth CAMPUS
