David Philp discusses the importance of digital data for built assets in the UK and the shift towards Level 2 and Level 3 Building Information Modeling (BIM) to enhance efficiency and collaborative working in the construction industry. The document emphasizes the need for integrated data management and the benefits of a common data environment to ensure reliable stakeholder engagement and improved asset performance. It highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition from Level 2 to Level 3 BIM, aiming for real-time access and enhanced decision-making capabilities in project management.

7. These times are a
changing and so are we
• Our industry is changing rapidly
• More thought about achieving better
asset outcomes
• Standard assemblies and DFMA
• Need to be more efficient / altruistic
• Being driven by well informed data
decisions
• More openness in data
• Enabled by better working &
innovation
• New results of assets and users
BIM / GSL??

8. Level 2 resolves the methodology of:
• Working in a 3D environment
• Creating structured non-graphical data
• Data verification and validation
• Consistent data exchanges
• Working in a common data environment
• Connecting capex and opex
• Create a solid platform for Level 3

The greatest BIM challenges arise when moving from level 2 BIM to level 3 BIM and the
perceived ‘holy grail’ of the single project model. Level 3 envisages a wholly integrated
model accessed by all members of the project team in real time.

The Opportunities Addressed by the
Vision of Level 3 BIM
• How we can make this exchange faster and more efficient?
• How can we simplify the process by including geometry and data in the same data package?
• How can the data exchange be made on the web across the world, in any language?
• What can we do with the data generated by the Internet of Things, to improve asset
performance?

20. 20
With level 3 BIM it may be possible for:
• Early rule based design and analysis on environmental performance
minimising iterative design time;
• Cost models to be quickly derived from the model using new costing
interfaces;
• Health and safety aspects associated with the construction and maintenance
of the building to be analysed in parallel with the design; and asset
management, KPI, and other feedback information to be aligned with
intelligent briefing,
• Enabling information in the model to develop during design and to be used
as part of a Soft Landings approach, and to inform and improve future
projects.

With level 2 there is limited functionality for the delivery of the operational data sets and
integration of telemetry. Level 3 will address these in sector delivery and operational
stages, with a focus on enabling total cost and carbon outputs.

Gamification … In Procurement
Thought: split procurement into areas that run in series and
transparently rank bidders after each area … e.g. H&S, information
management, security, project management etc.
Data-driven procurement and validation against requirements would
ease this process, e.g. schedule that works, is utilising correct WBS,
has correct milestones, is resource-loaded correctly, has got
dependency integrity; digital data requirements against the EIR
through all tiers.

Rethink your

process >>
Procuring shouldn’t be based on
guesswork. Big data and gamified
learning can
give you predictive scenario
planning and create a personalised
and automated
tendering process for your project
eliminating the normal waste of an
analogue project.

New Business Models Enabled by Level 3 BIM
.
• The ability to measure “in service” performance and compare it to “as briefed” and “as
delivered” assets - providing the single biggest opportunity to improve both cost and
carbon performance.
• The ability to bring together through open data standards from design, construction and
operations and across market sectors - offering the ability to analyse and create the
learning
• Feedback loops that needs to be able to deliver sustainable long-term improvements in
asset performance.

The time has come to clearly understand
that BIM as a industry paradigm shift will
only be achieved provided that the decisive
drivers for change in our, project financing
and procurement routes, will develop
beyond the current functional models.
It is essential therefore that we do not think
of digital disruption as purely as technology
change.
