3. 1. What is BIM
*BIM is a digital form of construction and asset operations.
*It brings together technology, process improvements and digital information
to radically improve client and project outcomes and asset operations.
*It applies to
new build projects; renovation,
refurbishment and maintenance of the built environment
While CAD addresses design, construction, and as-built documents for a
project;
BIM addresses a project from concept to construction through facility
management, and renovation/demolition.

4. A foundational, intelligent model-based process for business and industry
transformation
Uses 3D models to:
 capture, explore, and
maintain consistent and coordinated planning, design, construction, and
operational data
Provides greater project insight for
cost, schedule, and constructability
Uses and shares the same consistent data whether you’re at your desk or in the field
Enables prompt response to change with processes that are smarter and faster

5. *BIM is object based modeling not line based drawing.
Virtual buildings assembled from objects with intelligent building data

6. *Intellectual productive input into multiple
disconnected document
Time consuming /Costly
Prone to human error
problematic
*Intellectual productive input into a virtual
building information model
More efficient
Better quality documentations
Better outcomes
Promote Modularization6

7. *Over 60% of major capital programs
fail to meet cost and schedule targets
*55% of maintenance remains
reactive
*30% of construction cost is rework
*Reduced document errors and
omissions 61%
*Reduced rework 36%
*Reduced construction cost 30%
*Reduce project duration 22%
*Fewer claims/litigation 17% (Auto
Desk, 2014)
3. The traditional and BIM benefit for the Owner

8. Using BIM to produce, manage and Exchange Building Information's
through planning, design, construction and operations will….
Improve design coordination's
Reduce Cost for design and Construction
Reduce waste
Early delivery(time)
Improve building performances
Reduces operation costs
Leads for volumetric constructions
Prefabricated
manufacturing
Avoid
Duplications of effort
Disconnected work flow
Uncoordinated Information
Misunderstandings
Reduce
Risk,
Delay,
Cost overrun and
Disputes

10. 6. BIM Developments throughout the World
United
Kingdom
In 2011 published its BIM strategy, BIM mandatory in 2016 in public sector, to be
BIM leader Europe
Singapore national wide implementation roadmap in 2011.
BIM as part of public sector building project procurement (2012).
BIM introduced for architectural (2013), Structural and M&E submissions (2014).
Requires mandatory use of BIM from 2015 onwards
China BIM has been National 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2015) for a BIM framework.
The Hong Kong Institute of BIM was established in 2009
Hong Kong Housing Authority set a target of full BIM implementation in
2014/2015;

13. 9. Cement, Concrete and Energy with
BIMcurrent construction industry in
Ethiopia
• have practiced extra estimations/costing
• prone to human error ( rework, wastage)
 cement productions
 transportations
• not clearly consider lifecycle cost
• Will have energy analysis but not
collaborated
BIM (Future of Ethiopian
construction industry)
• proper quantifications material requirement
• have explicitly energy analysis
 material thermal properties and energy
requirement.
 Cooling & heating thermal comfort of
the occupant
 orientations, carbon emotions
 Water, electricity consumptions and
costing.
 Influences of mechanical, electrical
equipment
 Allow design alternative
• reduce human error(reductions of waste)
• clearly shows lifecycle

14. Continue…
*Construction documents that aren’t coordinated, consistent, or complete
can lead to:
poor instruction,
unnecessary or substandard work, and
eventual repairs and/or rebuilding efforts.
All of these occurrences can waste
 significant amounts of energy
 material resources, and
 cost the builder by additional money.
14

15. *Lack of infrastructures which is BIM
compatible.
*Needs BIM supported software’s
*Lack of demand for BIM
*Entrenched in current 2D drafting
practices
*Lack of ready pool of skilled man
power
*Additional resources needed to build
Up BIM Expertise.
Public sector taking the lead
*Pilot Projects and Engagement
*Stipulate BIM as part of project requirements
*Assigning required budget for BIM
implementation
Regulatory approvals
*Removing Impediments
*Building BIM capacity and capability
*Incentivizing BIM Adapters
*Initiations of Universities to include BIM
*set BIM as approval criteria in the procurement
and designs
10. Challenges and Strategy
15

16. 11: The way forward of BIM technology in Ethiopia
As Ethiopia Road map:
*Transferring and disseminating the technologies.
*Reinforcing BIM technology adaptations in Ethiopia
*Practical demonstrations in different projects
*Developing necessary:
 BIM standards,
Guidelines and
Check list for approval.
*Initiating Universities to include BIM in their curriculum.
*Future will initiating BIM to be criteria for a Procurement by:
Classifying in building height
Project size 16
