BIM has existed for decades but saw little adoption until economies struggled, showing its ability to eliminate waste. BIM results in coordinated drawings, collaborative information sharing, and integrated data that can reduce change orders. It requires information to be entered once and then viewed securely by collaborators. Effective BIM follows a process of planning, building, and testing with accurate and consistent information at each phase.
The document discusses how connecting professionals through shared digital information can improve collaboration and reduce costs and risks in construction and maintenance projects. It describes how current issues like non-connected, non-valid, non-accessible, and non-editable information lead to inefficiencies and unexpected results. The document then introduces the .ifc open standard for 3D information exchange as a way to connect data and validate information, making it accessible and editable to improve collaboration between professionals online. Examples are given of how digital tools using this standard helped integrate solutions to design clashes and collect validated performance data from an existing building to inform maintenance work.
The Government Construction Strategy was published by the Cabinet Office in 2011, announcing that all centrally procured contracts should be compliant with BIM by 2016. The key objective of this approach is to reduce the capital cost and the carbon burden from the construction and operation of the built environment by a fifth. So how should a lighting engineer tackle building a digital street lighting information model?

Article #1 Common Challenges Faced in Building Information Modeling (BIM) Ado...ASPiREBiM Solutions
The document discusses common challenges faced in adopting Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. It identifies five main challenges: 1) Lack of expertise, as most construction companies do not have qualified professionals trained in integrating BIM; 2) Lack of relevance and awareness of BIM, as many construction projects do not utilize modern practices; 3) Interoperability issues between different software programs and platforms used by stakeholders; 4) Constricted budgets that make it difficult for small and medium companies to invest in new technologies; 5) A reluctant or "old school" approach among industry professionals who resist new technologies and training. These challenges contribute to the slower than desired pace of BIM adoption in the construction sector.
Collaboration with BIM: Stop being efficient, start being effectiveLéon Berlo
This document discusses moving from being efficient to being effective in building information modeling (BIM) projects. It provides examples of highly detailed BIM projects using IFC data formats for modeling, quotations, rule checking, logistics, fire safety analysis, and simulations. Lessons learned include not letting the means become the goal, that data alone does not equal collaboration, and data is only useful when used effectively. The future of construction is predicted to have more available data, automation through robotics and niche applications, and a greater need for knowledge of both engineering and data. Organizations must learn to work effectively with increasingly complex technologies and changing processes rather than just focusing on efficiency.

The document discusses how the role of software architecting is evolving in the digital age. Key technology trends like cloud computing, IoT, and machine learning are increasing complexity, as are hundreds of IoT platforms. Agile and lean practices, DevOps, and the idea that "code is architecture" are changing expectations. Architects must master these complex technologies, communicate concepts simply, and strengthen non-technical skills. Their role is shifting from documentation to knowledge management and from specialization to cross-functional teams.
SAMT 2010 - Interoperability for the design and construction industry through...Pieter Pauwels
This document discusses using semantic web technologies to improve interoperability in the design and construction industry. It describes current interoperability issues and the use of building information modeling (BIM) and industry foundation classes (IFC) for information exchange. It proposes enhancing interoperability through a semantic web approach, including uploading IFC data to an IFC/RDF graph and developing parallel descriptions of building information in different formats like IFC/RDF, AIM/RDF, X3D/RDF, and STL/RDF to allow for querying, reasoning, and other applications. While this semantic web approach could help address interoperability challenges, more work is still needed.

BIM Show Live 2015 - Collaboration and IFC in the NetherlandsLéon Berlo
This document discusses collaborative design and engineering using Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) in the Netherlands. It describes how research found that having a central shared model is not necessary or preferable for collaboration. Instead, the concept of reference models where each party shares only what is needed for others to do their work is more effective. Examples show how different parties can export tailored IFC views from their models for coordination. National BIM guidelines have been developed that outline how to collaborate using discipline models and IFC data exchange without a single shared model.

GEO Desing + BIM Conference: Data sharing is not collaborationLéon Berlo
Shared data and BIM models are not the same as collaboration. A shared data model refers to creating agreements on how data will be standardized and shared, not shared databases or model instances. True collaboration requires each party to focus first on their own work and understanding what information others need from them, rather than assuming shared access to data leads automatically to collaboration. Technology like cloud computing and work sharing supports coordination but does not replace the need for professionals to bring their expertise and craftsmanship to cooperatively solve problems.

0006-EUBIM-MGT-05-ARCADIS BIM White paper (English)Bram Mommers
1) BIM is defined as the processes and collaborative behaviors associated with creating and sharing object-oriented databases of an asset from its initial design through construction and eventual operation.
2) BIM provides significant advantages over traditional paper-based methods by enabling information sharing between project teams, improved coordination to reduce errors, and dynamic updates that reflect changes across the project documentation.
3) Examples of Arcadis projects demonstrate benefits of BIM including more efficient design processes, reduced project timelines through clashed detection and automatic updates, and improved collaboration between project stakeholders.
The document discusses the development and implications of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the UK construction industry. It notes that a national BIM survey found most SME contractors have never used 3D modeling, clash detection, or other BIM tools. It also references reports showing UK construction projects often exceed budget and timelines. The document argues for adopting BIM to improve industry performance and sustainability by reducing waste and change orders. It outlines the UK government's plans to mandate collaborative 3D BIM by 2016 to achieve cost savings and lower carbon emissions from the construction sector.
BIM Implementation in Malaysia since 2003. It discusses the key challenges to BIM implementation including people, process, technology, and policy. Sample projects show lessons learned around flexibility, model purpose, standards, and collaboration. The way forward emphasizes integrated project delivery, sustainability, industry convergence, and following other countries like Singapore and Brunei that have adopted BIM.
The document provides an overview of the role of project managers in successful Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes. It discusses how project managers can manage the design and construction process to deliver successful BIM requirements. The document outlines an agenda covering the project manager's role in BIM, how to manage the design and construction process for BIM delivery, and the top 10 BIM tips for project managers. It emphasizes that project managers must understand change management, build trust among teams, and foster collaboration and innovation.
The world of architecture, engineering and construction is changing. New ways of working and new tools are transforming the face of industry, allowing architects, designers, engineers and contractors to work more quickly, accurately and more cost affective. New Processes and Technologies are making it easier to collaborate and coordinate projects.
Rahul Shah, Head of BIM, Lend Lease Europe provides an introduction to BIM and an overview of Level 2 BIM and UK BIM standards.
Rahul has been using and implementing computer aided design (CAD) and BIM technologies in the architecture, engineering and construction industry for more than fourteen years in various roles. He has ‘BIM managed’ a variety of projects from small to large-scale and led efforts to migrate practices from 2D CAD to 3D BIM-based project delivery. Besides that he has done all the work you would expect of a Revit addict! In other words he has properly experienced BIM implementation and management first hand.
Dr. Noha Saleeb discusses Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Omar. BIM uses technology to improve project design, construction, and management through integrated information sharing. Dr. Noha explains that BIM maturity levels require greater cooperation and information integration between project stakeholders over time. While countries like the UK have implemented BIM, different cultures require customized roadmaps. Creating an Arab BIM code would require experts to study regional practices and challenges before establishing goals and a phased implementation plan. The biggest challenge is overcoming resistance to cultural and intellectual change.

On line BIM project execution by PLANNERLYStephen Au
BIM execution is a complex process that involve a lot of parties working together and responding instantly. How can we ensure the BIM tasks are closely aligning with construction schedule and able to deliver the right models for problem solving?
This document discusses international convergence in the construction industry around Lean, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), and Building Information Modeling (BIM). It provides definitions and overlaps between these approaches. It also summarizes the status of their adoption in the US, UK, and Australian construction markets, noting opportunities for improved productivity and collaboration.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process that creates and manages construction project information digitally across the project lifecycle. BIM provides competitive advantages such as optimized delivery through predictability, enhanced business alignment and value-add opportunities, improved staffing and client relationships, and serves as a business strategy. For a QS firm, adopting BIM software such as Glodon and CostX allows more efficient measurement, estimation and construction management. Consistent, optimized use of BIM delivers projects predictably and distinguishes the firm. BIM also opens new opportunities, enhances staff, and builds better client relationships through improved communication of design intent.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process for creating and managing information on construction projects across their lifecycle. BIM uses 3D models and intelligent data to help architects, engineers, and contractors plan, design, construct, and manage buildings more efficiently. Implementing BIM gives competitive advantages like optimized project delivery through increased predictability, added business value through collaboration, and opportunities to enhance staff skills and build better client relationships. BIM is also a business strategy that can improve a company's competitiveness.
Session 1.3 semantic asset management in the dutch rail engineering and con...semanticsconference
The document describes a use case involving the exchange of project data between an engineering company, construction company, and Dutch Rail authority using the COINS (Constructive Objects and the INtegration of processes and Systems) open semantic standard. The project involved replacing a level crossing with an under crossing. Project data instances were exchanged in a COINS container validated against the OTL Spoor ontology. The data was integrated on a collaboration platform and could be queried. It was concluded that semantic interoperability was achieved through COINS and data quality improved with validation. However, better software support is still needed to improve efficiency and adoption of COINS.
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a 3D modeling method that allows AEC professionals to plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure more efficiently. The BIM model contains information about all aspects of the building like walls, doors, and floors, and can be used for design development, construction documentation, and facility operations. The BIM process involves planning with existing data, conceptual and detailed design, construction using BIM specifications, and operating the completed building using its BIM data. As the construction industry in India is booming due to economic growth, demand for BIM skills is increasing, leading to the development of specialist roles like BIM managers, modelers, and technicians. Training in BIM software
This document summarizes and evaluates three building performance analysis software tools - Ecotect, Green Building Studio, and Virtual Environment - for their suitability in BIM-based sustainability analysis. It presents the benefits of using BIM to perform complex building performance analyses early in the design process to optimize sustainable building design. The objectives are to explore BIM's suitability for sustainability analysis and develop a framework for how construction companies can use BIM to evaluate a building's LEED rating. The scope is limited to commercial and healthcare projects. Key findings from literature review and industry interviews are discussed.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.

4. Techology Transfer
“TETRA projects translate scientific knowledge or explore the application domain of
new technologies or methods. They provide concrete information that fits in the
everyday practice of Flemish enterprises (SMEs and social profit organisations). The
projects are aimed at increasing their innovation potential to ensure that they can
develop new products, services or processes faster.
These, in turn, offer potential to improve the economic performance of the company.”

7. Building Information Management
“[Management is] the control and making of decisions in a business or
similar organization [and] the process of dealing with or controlling
people or things”
Hornby, A.S. , Crowther, J., et al (1995). Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary
of Current English (5th edition). Oxford University Press

9. 1. Does using BIM guarantee less data-loss in a building process? Or, in
other words: does BIM has the intrinsic quality of eliminating data-drops,
when used with adequate interoperability?
2. Does building data grow (infinitely) over time in any typical building
process and is the amount of “knowledge” (data) bigger in later phases
than in early ones?

I would like to share with you some views on BIM, that are important for our on-going applied research.
Together with our research partners from PXL-tech…
And a LOT of user group members we have recently acquired funds for a TETRA-project.
TETRA stands for Technology-Transfer, and in our case the technology to be transferred is LEAN. Well spread in production-industry but less-known in building industry, especially not in the Belgian Building Industry…
In short our research will transfer some of the twenty-something LEAN-techniques into building practice. We will be targetting multiple disciplines in the Small and Medium sized Enterprises and – of course, our I wouldn’t mention it here – we will be using BIM to do this…
It needs little explanation that we will be focussing on Management rather than Models or Modelling…
But what is Management? My dictionary defines it mainly as some sort of ‘control’ over a process or in the case of BIM: data...
And often “managing” our data is stimulated by a fear of loosing it.
I am well aware that many (if not all) of you know this diagram, and some of you probably hate it, but is interesting to study it for a little, as it brings up to important questions…
Does BIM equal no or at least less data-drops?
Does a Building Information Model needs to “grow” over time?
Let’s have a closer look into managing the data within our models
Is the green line representative for the actual data in our models? Or is the red one a more realistic diagram?
I think everyone present – as a BIM-user – must have had this thought: I’m sharing this model, but do I want to share all the data inside it? Do I actually know what data is stored in the various elements of the typical library I have been using. No problem for early adaptors and experienced users or for the larger companies…
But a lot of SME’s will unfortunately will recognize themselves in the male in this picture…
How can LEAN help avoiding this kind of problem?
I was actually inspired/triggered by last year’s presentation, by Leon van Berlo, telling us that there is no central model – not anymore
I believe there is no constant growth in “data” in general for a “BIM” over time. And I’m sure that the amount of data needed differs very much according to the party adding or extracting the information… As Pieter showed us (?) it probably is even better to store more and more data outside the model and keep only what is really necessary for interoperability – thus making our model LEAN…
To illustrate all this (and to please my students present) I’ll end with a short example of what we will be testing and researching…
These are the typical steps of a modular concrete-panel project at Enjoy Concrete. They receive a design in Sketchup by the architect. They have to remodel to make it usable and add the necessary data for identifaction and more. A rebar-model is made before production can start. Special attention is given to the position of hoisting fixtures, needed for mounting everything but no longer visible in the finished project.
From a LEAN point of view, the second step should be eliminated. From a BIM point of view: data needed in the late part of the process should be present from the start, for a more efficient work-flow.
This can be solved by using IFC-data in Sketchup (for instance with info about hoisting fixtures) and re-using this within All-plan. How? That is for our student Seppe to find out in the next few months…
The outcome is a LEAN workflow, with and thanks to BIM-integration and data-management
