“BIM compliant?.....Who cares?”.

Presented by: Richard Brotherton Managing Director AceCad Software Ltd

A little about

• History dates back to the oil industry with 40% of the North seas oil rigs designed, fabricated and commissioned by us (RDS group).

• One of the first developers of 3D modelling CAD/CAM (StruCad) for the

steel fabrication Industry bringing knowledge and experience from oil and gas into construction.

• One of the first European companies with a fully automotive Car and Van

manufacturing plant in China. • Introduced systems (StruMIS) for lean manufacturing taken from our

automotive experience into Steel fabrication. • Introducing Lean manufacturing from the steel fabrication/ Automotive

and Oil and Gas industry into construction through BIM.

• No one cares about BIM

• We don’t need BIM

• BIM doesn’t exist

• BIM is here to stop business as usual

• BIM is ………………….

• Don’t worry about BIM.

BIM

No one cares about

We all care about our business:

– Wining Jobs

– Having a quality “Product”

– Making a Profit

BIM is all about Business

BIM

We don’t need

• BIM is needed for survival

• Less projects

– The construction output in 2012 drop over 10% (Office for National Statistics)

• Project values are being pushed down. – Government has indicated reducing capital cost by 20%.

• Competition is increasing – Chinese government has indicated that it wants to target 25%

of the UK infrastructure projects by 2020.

BIM

is to stop “Business as usual'

The usual construction sector practice is where people do things project after project in the same old inefficient ways, forcing each other to give up profits and overhead recovery in order to deliver at what seems the market price.

What results is a fight over who keeps any of the margins that result from each project, or attempts to recoup 'negative margins' through 'claims‘

The last thing that receives time or energy in this project-by-project battle for survival is consideration of how to reduce underlying costs or improve quality.

BIM

BIM is Business Improvement Mythology

does not exist

• BIM is TLA (three letter acronym) for improving the productivity and competiveness of the construction industry

• BIM is

BIM

BIM is : Building Industry Modernisation

is Production for Construction

“We suspect that learning how to make construction lean will help show the way to the manufacturing of the future. Manufacturing is becoming more like construction. Far from being the most backward, in our view, construction can be among the leading edge industries in lean thinking.” Ballard and Howell Ballard is the Lecturer at U.C. Berkeley. Research Director for the Lean Construction Institute,

Howell is the Adjunct Professor at Boise State and Virginia Tech. Executive Director of the Lean Construction Institute

BIM

Lean Construction: Collaboration of all project participants, informing and influencing the design

• Construction optimisation through Collaboration and systematic learning • Continual improvement/pursuit of perfection involving everyone in the system • A focus on delivering the value desired by the owner/Client • Value to flow by systematically and eliminating process that create no value • Creating pull production

What Production brings to Construction

• Deriving and re-using knowledge

• Interoperability across supply chains

• Engaging suppliers in design and operation processes

• Reducing and managing changes

• Lowering costs

SPOT the Difference

How do we achieve these objectives…….

A holistic lifecycle approach

BUILDING INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

What is

Project Review

Costs & Budgets

Model Management

Supplier Management

Estimating & QS

An integrated environment that utilises the principals of modern production techniques for Construction

Legal

• Knowledge-based Estimating and QS

• Tendering and Purchasing

• Cost and Budget Management

• Document Management

• 4D and 5D Planning and Scheduling

• Integrated Project Review and Collaboration tool

Features include:

• Legal awareness and standard contracts

• Change Management

• BIM Model and data Import

Dorsey & Whitney's Construction and Design Group has extensive experience in dealing with BIM requirements for construction and engineering contracts. They advise on projects in various fields of the industry including the energy, oil and gas, mining, infrastructure, transport and real estate sectors. Through their international network, they advise on projects in the United States, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Dorsey has worked closely with AceCad Software Group on a number of its market leading BIM initiatives.

BIM Project is working alongside the legal industry to help advise and reduce the fear associated to BIM: • Intellectual property rights • Interoperability between design tools and manufacturing/production tools • Development of standard form agreements that define reliance on BIM data and the

roles of the parties
