Strategy recommendations
Recommendations1. Supply side responsible for infrastructure2. Client contract requirements must be clear3. Client must use the information it requires4. Investment will be required but technology does not
need to be complex5. Changes should be in small steps6. Target is ‘level 2’ of the maturity model in five years

Government’s Hypothesis for BIM
Government as a client can derive significant improvements in cost, value and carbon performance through the use of open sharable asset information

Enabling the Government BIM Strategy
Government will pull BIM adoption by:• Encouraging BIM use on publicly funded projects• Setting consistent information requirements across
the programme• Specifying and collecting data from the BIM model• Using the data to improve performance

Enabling the Government BIM Strategy
Industry will push BIM competence• Creating an infrastructure of standards, guidance
and training • Focusing industry on defined targets for benefits
realisation• Removing blockers to adoption• Raising the trailing edge to a minimum level of BIM
performance
COBRA, Las Vegas, September 2012

The strategy is based on key principles
Strategy•Setting the requirement – don’t force the market•Taking incremental steps – keep it simple to start•Leaving complexity where it belongs – in the supply chain•Only asking for information if it will be used…….and committing to use it•Preparing for the leading edge…..but focusing effort on
the trailing edge

Strategy application
Test of the value of BIM are that it should be:
• Valuable • Understandable• General• Non Proprietary• Competitive
• Open• Verifiable• Compliant• Implementable• 5 Year Programme

Strategy application
Strategy application.
The Strategy applies to all projects • Buildings• Infrastructure• Refurbishment
The Strategy will only succeed if:
• Benefits realised • General adoption• Gains to supply chain

Supply side responsibilities
Supply side responsible for infrastructure• The client will define the data that is required from the
BIM• Leaving complexity where it belongs – in the supply
chain• Define a none proprietary means for exchanging
information - COBie

Target
Target for all projects to deliver information at the level 2 of the maturity model within five years.
Managed 3D environment held in separate discipline ‘BIM’ tools with attached data. Commercial data managed by an ERP. (‘Enterprise Resource Planning’ software) Integration on the basis of proprietary interfaces or bespoke middleware could be regarded as ‘pBIM’ (proprietary). The approach may utilise 4D programme data and 5D cost elements as well as feed operational systems.

Challenge for the QS
‘The effective adoption of BIM technologies by cost consultants and planners has been slow to date, and should this situation remain, then cost and programme services will not benefit from the productivity and speed of response that a settled BIM process can offer.
This is not to say that the adoption of BIM will not be without its challenges, but that the professions cannot afford to be outside of the BIM loop.’
COBRA, Las Vegas, September 2012

Challenge for the QS
‘Methods of measurement and duties may need to be reviewed to ensure that the appropriate information is produced so that measurement can be automated to a greater degree…Measurement will be accelerated but discretionary skills will still be necessary.’
‘Clients should expect ‘QS’s and Project Managers to be familiar with BIM and actively develop ways in which processes can be made more cost effective and value adding’

COBie
Construction Operations Building information exchange(COBie)
• COBie is a means of sharing, predominantly non-graphical, data about a facility. It was developed in America and will need to be adapted for use in the UK and in Infrastructure. It is a non-proprietary format based on a spreadsheet so it can be managed by organisations of any size at any level of IT capability but can be linked to other systems and software.
• COBie transfers information to owner/occupier to manage their assets efficiently. It documents the asset in 16 linked spreadsheets.
• COBie will be adopted as the standard means of reporting data from a BIM. Reporting at specific stages is referred to as a ‘COBie data drop’.

Challenge to the Institutions
Need for training and education to support:• Awareness• Provide guidance and toolkits• Technical skills• Non-technical, ancillary skills• Accreditation• Review and benchmarking• Post project evaluation
COBRA, Las Vegas, September 2012

Challenge to the Institutions
Influences the standards:• For measurement
– Floor area– Area of spaces– Functional quantities– Element quantities– Procurement measurement– Assets
• Classification– Functions– Assets

Elemental Classification
• Dialog between BCIS and the BIS implementation team about classification of costs and measurement rules to be adopted in the data drops.
• In many cases a budget expressed as an elemental cost model before the BIM is set up.
• Therefore as the model is developed it needs to support the measurement required to report costs against the budget in an elemental form.
• For the QS to reap the efficiency benefits from the BIM process measurement rules and cost reporting requirements need to form part of the client’s ‘Employers Information Requirement’ for BIM.

Empirical Evidence of Return on Investment
Stanford University
• Up to 40% elimination of unbudgeted change
• A saving of up to 10% of the contract value through clash detection
• Up to 7% reduction in project time
Holder Construction
• $90k cost of BIM• Identification of 590 M+E
clashes• Savings of $800k

Story so far
Government pilot studies with integrated project team work in a BIM environment
Some private clients demanding project BIM
Proliferation of ‘lonely BIM ‘ tools
Lack of trust of information in other peoples BIM

Strategy recommendations
Recommendations – within 5 years:1. Supply side responsible for infrastructure2. Client contract requirements must be clear3. Client must use the information it requires4. Investment will be required but technology does not
need to be complex5. Changes should be in small steps6. Target is ‘level 2’ of the maturity model in five years

Caveat
The key principle is that the industry will respond to the opportunity created by the Government… we should anticipate some inertia…
Never underestimate the power of inertia!
