1. The Level-2 BIM journey

How to traditionally describe construction dataPLQ: How Many Legs Do I Have?

Putting too much information into the model too soon may restrict both the design and supply chain options for others in the team and leads to other forms of waste with the inherent costs incurred by both the supplier and the client. It also places constraints on the supply chain to offer compliant alternative designs, offering better asset or value performance. DPOW = Goldilocks Principle

Overview Client determines their plain language questions (determines the need) Client produces their employer’s information requirements (Required information to meet the needs as defined in PLQs) Information requirements aligned to the project stages This is part of the tender documentation

A collection of projects A collection of projects

Information at a project level

Information at a stage level Information at a stage level

At the start of the project the client has not assembled their team

At strategy/brief stage it is possible to determine information needs

Template tasks can be modified, removed and added to

These projects can be refined and reused on future projects

Tasks and deliverables are assigned to roles prior to the team being assembled This information may be exported

Export to MS Excel for inclusion within the EIR document (PDF) …and export to IFC/COBie for digital re-use

All information can exported and manipulated either in buildingSMART or MS Excel format

At a basic level – it can easily be inserted into an MS Word EIR

Procurement

Overview Bidders respond with their pre-contract BIM execution plan Proposed responsibility of bidders supply-chain is provided The client can compare these against their original information requirements Selection can take place

The proposed roles have been assigned The proposed project team has been added Each item, at each stage has a party responsible The bidder

Export to MS Excel for inclusion within the BEP document (PDF) …and export to IFC/COBie for digital re-use

Pre-contract award and mobilisation

Post-contract award and mobilisation

Production

Overview The federated Project Information Model begins to grow dPOW defines the what, the when and who Information exchanges between supply-chain Information delivery to the client as agreed in EIR Documented classification and data structure allows for verification

Moving into the design phases the team is now assembled and the information requirements grow

Level of detail guidance can be defined for each deliverable

Level of information guidance can be defined for each deliverable

A definitions library of over 5,700 items across all construction disciplines will be provided

At concept stage – the operations phase should be considered

At the technical design stage more geometric detail is required

The level of information grows through the bandings too

LOI-6 contains the standard COBie properties for transfer to the asset management systems

Steel stair systems

Concrete pilecap system

Steel framing system

Roof framing system

Concrete underpining systems

RICS were part of the core team and have provided classification mappings to NRM1
