What is buildingSmart• An international, neutral and non-profit organisation that

supports openBIM.• Organized as regional alliances, so-called chapters, for

countries or groups of countries.– Each chapter is an independent and is established to reflect local conditions.– There are chapters in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia and the Middle-East.

• Develop and maintain international standards for openBIM.

What is openBIM• A comprehensive approach to collaboration, design, construction and

operation of built assets based on open standards and workflow.• An initiative by buildingSMART and several leading software vendors to

use the open buildingSMART data model (ISO 16739).

• Objectives:– Support transparent and open workflows for all actors and independent of

software tools.– Enable transparent commercial conditions, comparable services and high data

quality by a common language for building processes.– Create lasting life-cycle repositories that grow with a built asset and its use.– Encourage fair competition for "best of breed"-solutions.

Who is asking for openBIM?Published BIM Mandates

As BIM adoption continues to grow around the world, governments are promoting its ability to eliminate waste on public projects and even mandating its use as part of construction sector reform, cost-saving efforts and climate change mitigation.

– McGraw Hill Construction Smart Market Report – February 2014

Why are all these parties interested in openBIM?

UK Government Construction Strategy Goals

USA & Singapore pioneered specifying openBIM for projects

The UK has the only National public sector mandate

Nordics are advanced in standards with some openBIM mandates

Globally, openBIM requirements and Execution Plans for projects are ever increasing

Frequently, benefits from new technologies drive adoption

UK’s lead may not last, but its work will have a global impact if guidance such as PAS1192:2 is promoted to ISO.

Global openBIM Status

1192 is a British family of standards. BSI 1192:2007 describes a framework for information management in building processes

applicable to paper, CAD and BIM. BSI PAS 1192:2 specifies flow of information during the life cycle and defines exchange

requirements in different phases.

ISO/TC 59/SC 13/WG 13

BIM is advancing across the world

National bodies are not well placed to develop the needed standards quickly

bSI seeks to become the INDUSTRY STANDARDS BODY for the built environment

buildingSMART International is changing

Working Together

Easy Access

Momentum

• Huge task! Really we all need to work together

• Increasing activity - Danger of conflicting approaches and confusion

• Implementation will be even slower without consensus

• Addressing this huge challenge requires an industry body with broad engagement

Key Principles: Conditions for Success

Goal is to create an environment which satisfies these conditions:

• The standards process must provide a clear and transparent mechanism to create international consensus

• Trusted • Open• Neutral & Independent• Safe IPR

• Enabling – empower the community

Key Principles: New Organization

Controlling:Give us the money

Enabling:The market will decide

buildingSmart standards support in ISO/TC 59 and ISO/TC 184/SC 4

• ISO 12006-1 etc: Framework for classification of information• ISO 16739-1 etc: Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for data sharing in

the construction and facility management industries• ISO 16757-1: Data structures for electronic product catalogues for

building services -- Part 1: Concepts, architecture and model• ISO 16757-2: Data structures for electronic product catalogues for

building services -- Part 2: Geometry– More standards planned: cooperation with BIM; catalogue exchange format

• ISO 29481-1: Information delivery manual - Methodology and format– More standards planned: MVD

• Conversion of BSI 1192:2007 into an ISO standard
