The document discusses the development of BIM in France, from the creation of the first French BIM standard XP P07-150 in 2014 to the current project to create a BIM dictionary according to this standard. It describes how Mediaconstruct won the bidding process in 2016 to create the dictionary, which will involve developing 2000 properties and 300 objects over 3 years. The project aims to test the standard's workflows for managing properties and establish a harmonized French BIM dictionary within the bSDD tool.

XP P07-150 trial : « PPBIM Project »
from standard to Dictionary (and more…)
– PTNB (Plan for the digital transition in the building industry) : a
political will to improve the building/construction industry
– One of the actions of this plan : trials based on XP P07-150
• Creation of a dictionary of properties according to XP P07-150
(2000 properties)
• Creation of generic objects using the properties (300 objects)
• Bidding process designated Mediaconstruct (18th April)
• Project will take around 3 years

Mediaconstruct PPBIM Project

14. BIM in Europe Frédéric Grand 12-05-2016
PPBIM Project Mediaconstruct tasks: part 1 – 6 months
– Creation of 300 properties (several industry sectors) and 30
generic objects
– Use of a PPBIM context in bSDD as the tool for the French
PPBIM dictionary
– Test of the bSDD functionalities
– Test of the XP P07-150 workflows for managing :
• properties and property sets
• people (i.e. experts in charge of validation of properties)
– Properties will be added manually ant the XP P07-150 workflows
will be tested manually
– Writing of the specifications for the final tool to operate the
dictionary (including the workflow layer)

15. BIM in Europe Frédéric Grand 12-05-2016
PPBIM Project part 1 – working groups
• 10 working groups on transverse contexts
– Trade, logistics, thermal, acoustic, IFC, classifications, environmental…
• 10 working groups on sectorial contexts
– Envelop, electricity, plumbing….
• 5 working groups on generic objects
• 30 meetings

16. BIM in Europe Frédéric Grand 12-05-2016
PPBIM project part 1 – bSDD use
– Check the bSDD compliance with XP P07-150 for a property
definition
– Check the bSDD browsing capabilities as needed by the
project steering committee
– Check the bSDD CMT capabilities : user’s rights to add,
delete and edit
– Check the bSDD relationships and capabilities to manage
groups of properties
– Properties will be added manually ant the XP P07-150
workflows will be tested manually.
