17. So.. What is BIM?
• Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional
characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a
facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle. – NBIMS – National BIM
Standard – United States
• BIM is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of
physical and functional characteristics of a facility. The resulting building information
models become shared knowledge resources to support decision-making about a facility
from earliest conceptual stages, through design and construction through its operational
life and eventual demolition. – ISO
• A shared digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of any built object
including buildings, bridges, roads, process plants etc. forming a reliable basis for
decisions. – buildingSMART Alliance
• The process of using BIM models to improve the planning, design and construction
process is increasingly being referred to as Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). – AGC
The “I” in BIM and the required processes to create the shared
digital representation of the facility to support decision-making are
the key challenges.
The BIM Team is the information backbone for the project

64. GIS is…
• Geographic information System is a system designed to capture, store,
manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of spatial or
geographical data.
• This information system integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and
displays geographic information.
• GIS applications are the tools that allow users to create interactive queries,
analyze spatial information, edit data in maps, and present the results of all
these operations.
• This term is attached to many applications related to engineering,
planning, management, transport/logistics, insurance, telecommunications,
and other businesses.
• GIS and location intelligence applications can be the foundation for many
location-enabled services that rely on analysis and visualization.
65. GIS – Geographic Information Systems
- Combines data gathered from various Systems into a
comprehensive data warehouse which provides a
smart control system using live online maps.
- Online GIS maps can be generated and made
accessible on computers or phones/tablets; providing
visual on-demand information linked to location,
progress, inspection, resources, quantities… data.
- Simultaneously, this can be a 2-ways data sharing tool
(to and from site) having the ability to feed on-the-spot
data directly to the system.
69. Benefits
• Integration of works
• Unifying terms & codes
• Having one main source of information
• Faster / reliable / systematic
• Visual & graphical analysis & output reports
• Ability to study impact of variations on activities linked
to model items
• Automating reports
• Automating 3-months look-heads

80. BIM for FM and O&M
• Why do we need systems to manage FM/
O&M?
• Can BIM help?
• Example data preparation
81. TIPS ON BIM IMPLEMENTATION - 1
1. Establish a clear BIM strategy: what processes are you trying to
improve? Priorities? In-house vs. outsourcing? BIM organizational
structure? Multi-discipline resources?
2. Be aware that most stakeholders have limited BIM capabilities
3. Invest in training: tailored training; lack of real BIM experts, learning
curve
4. Establish clear criteria on level of modeling (LOD) @ different project
phases
5. BIM authoring should be aligned with method of construction
6. Start BIM as early as possible (tendering phase). BIM is time
consuming. Need to develop several automation tools to speed-up
modeling.
82. TIPS ON BIM IMPLEMENTATION - 2
7. Establish clear data quality management procedures. Don’t
rely on the software
8. Establish clear communication between BIM staff and site
staff –consider having dedicated BIM coordinators in large
projects
9. Get the right software. Be ready to face challenges in
adapting the software to real construction requirements
10. Collaboration with other stakeholders is crucial to maintain
accurate BIM data. Comprehensive project EDI is a must
11. You need clear procedures to manage changes.
12. Remember that your BIM data will become obsolete if you
don’t keep updating it with actual installation information.
83. READING INTO CLIENTS
REQUIREMENTS
• Does the client have own standards for numbering components, 3D
components library, components properties, 3D authoring & 3D
collaboration software?
• Does the client mandate that 2D plans and shop drawings are to be
extracted from coordinated 3D models?
• Does the client mandate that changes are to be reflected in 3D
before issuing drawings?
• Does the client require modelling of temporary works, logistics
planning using 3D, planning, progress monitoring, procurement
management,…?
• Does the client require as-built BIM? What are his data handover
requirements?
84. Standard Terms – Good To Remeber
BS 1192: Code of practice – Collaborative production of architectural, engineering
and construction information
IFC: Industry Foundation Class is a neutral and open specification file format. The
data model facilitates interoperability between object-based s/w platforms
COBIE: Construction-Operations Building Information Exchange, a standard
spreadsheet data format that controls the transition of as-built into O&M
CDE: Common Data Environment, a single source of engineering information for the
project. It is used to collect, manage and disseminate all relevant approved
project documents
87. Finally..
BIM will reach mature phase, when:
- All project/facility stakeholders adopt full BIM implementation.
- Project Managers/ Asset Managers actively lead BIM implementation.
- BIM creation/update is part of the work process of different project/
department staff.
- Establish robust work processes to support quality project information
base
- Well-defined “temporal” data model, workflows and business roles
- BIM truly describes how the project will be constructed (or facility
operated).
- Powerful software tools that can capture/link and manage effectively
facility information.
