Steven Eglinton is a BIM and digital transformation consultant who gave a presentation on smart BIM and the launch of C2O UK. He discussed what BIM is, key concepts like BIM Level 2, BIM technology, whole-life asset management, and challenges around integrating data across systems, formats, organizations, and disciplines. Eglinton emphasized that digital tools can help unlock asset data for its whole lifecycle, but common standards, language, and views are needed to add value through knowledge, intelligence, and insight.

Information Management & BIM?

8. Essentially it has all been about… DATA
Sorry wrong one

9. Or lack of it. And the
processes behind it.
Essentially it has all been about… DATA
BIM is about project and
asset data management.

10. • Building Information Modelling / Management
• “An integrated digital process providing
coordinated, reliable information about a project
and assets throughout all phases, from design
through construction and into operation”
• Better Information Management
• For all asset types – buildings and infrastructure
Overview to BIM
• What is BIM?

11. Related Terms you should know
• Depends on your focus

13. • Cross-discipline collaboration
• Standard methods and procedures
• Digital Plan of Works (DPoW)
• Enabling tools, workflows and validation
• Exchange formats and standards
• Information provision is contracted
• Information / data is a commodity

15. • BIM is NOT all about technology
• But, technology is an enabler and vital…
o For collaboration
o For data validation
o For security
o For workflow (processes)
o Resilience / business continuity
• Common Data Environment (CDE) – MDM concept

metadata to enable…
• Data-Driven Decision-making

17. Whole-Life Asset Management

18. Physical Assets – All Kinds

19. Capex Focus
• Define asset
• Create asset
• Rebuild Asset
• Redevelop Asset
• Decommission Asset
• Create value
Opex Focus
• Enhance Asset performance
• Improve availability
• Manage Assets
• Manage user/occupier
• Maintain / improve assets
• Predict asset performance

The Challenges We Face

20. • We need to consider Whole Life Cost or Total Expenditure (TotEx)

BIM in Context to Asset Management

21. • We need to consider our assets’ (or facilities’) Whole Life

22. Unlocking Data
for the asset’s whole life

23. Data for the Public Good
Recommendations:
A Digital Framework – for secure sharing of
infrastructure data
A National Digital Twin – a digital twin of Britain’s
Infrastructure to help plan, predict and understand
our assets
A Digital Framework Task Group – to provide
coordination of key players

29. But…. we need a common language
we need a common view

31. WHY?

32. Adding Value
• How do we add value?
Knowledge
Intelligence /
Insight
Information
Data

33. Taxonomy, Semantics, Ontologies
• Agree what we call things - taxonomy
• Agree how we describe what things mean - semantics
• Agree the concepts, definition, categories, properties,
and relations of things – ontologies
• We need to work together, across disciplines to
tackle these challenges
