THE DIGITAL FRONTIER
We are engineers, scientists and
consultants who place trust in the power
of design to create a better future.
At its best, good design can regenerate
communities, protect natural
environments, connect people across vast
distances; it can provide new energy
solutions and create buildings that
people feel happy to be in.

WHAT IS BIM?
“Building information modelling 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.
BIM is here now….
We need to understand BIM....
We need to integrate BIM….

Level 2 BIM
• Individual discipline 3d geometry
models combined, managed and
co-ordinated in 3d space. Objects
enriched with asset data.
BIM – WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT
DEMANDING
Unmanaged CAD probably 2D, with paper (or electronic paper) as
the most likely data exchange mechanism.
Managed CAD in 2 or 3D format using BS 1192:2007 with a
collaboration tool providing a common data environment, possibly
some standard data structures and formats.
Managed 3D environment held in separate discipline “BIM” tools
with attached data.
Fully open process and data integration enabled by IFC / IFD.
Managed by a collaborative model server. Could be regarded as
iBIM or integrated BIM potentially employing concurrent
engineering processes.

BIM - HOW DOES THE UK COMPARE?
USA
USA – Many companies at the forefront of BIM software use. The sheer size of the
Construction industry and culture of litigation and large damage claims makes
Universal acceptance difficult. BIM exemplar projects predominantly contractor led.
BIM - HOW DOES THE UK COMPARE?
Norway
Norway – Government and regulatory bodies actively promoting BIM.
Mandating BIM on Government building projects in 2005 through Statsbygg
(Norwegian Government agency). Strong emphasis on education
BIM - HOW DOES THE UK COMPARE?
Sweden
Sweden – Amongst the world leaders! Karolinska hospital is currently
Europe’s largest BIM project. Healthy economy fuelling development.
BIM - HOW DOES THE UK COMPARE?
Finland
Finland – the unlikely world leaders??. Technologically advanced (Solibri,
Tekla) with a small, agile construction industry with a long history of trust
and open standards. Cold climate favours BIM/ off-site manufacture!

ROUND UP – BIM …..
• Improves co-ordination of disciplines
• Increases quality of our projects
• Increases efficiency in the design process
• Drives excellence
• Produces consistent information
• Gives us better understanding of design issues
• Helps communication of the design
• Helps to achieve a more sustainable project, less
waste
