This document discusses BIM solutions and strategies that can be deployed today. It defines BIM as "an integrated digital process providing coordinated, reliable information about a project throughout all phases." It discusses considerations for choosing BIM software, including cost and library content. Sample projects are described that achieved coordination across all disciplines through high contractor engagement and use of BIM in design, construction and facilities management. Enablers of BIM adoption included having a simple approach, engaging in new ways of working, and establishing documentation and protocols to manage change.

BIM software
Software with an established volume
Consider the fastest selling software
Can the project team access your output
Engage with your software vendor
Evidence based solutions
80 % of what you expected would work will work!
Consider the cost of investment, hardware and licensing
Consider library content
Offset by the return on investment.

20. 20SAM COLLARD
Improved design reliability Reduced design risk Reduced waste More time to
get the design right Enhanced coordination and fewer errors Improved decision
making Greater productivity Higher quality of work Downstream uses for FM
Supports sustainability Improved safety Computation of material quantities
Improved planning, control, management of construction Enhanced
communication Effective resource utilisation and coordination of activities
Reduction in costs associated with planning, design and construction Reduced
number of RFIs Improved collective understanding of design intent Less time
documenting more time designing Quantity takeoff Client engagement
Improved spatial coordination Programme reduction Offsite prefabrication with
confidence
Why adopt BIM ?

21. 21SAM COLLARD
30% of projects do not meet original programme or budget
92% of clients said that designers drawings are typically not sufficient for
construction
37% of materials used in construction become waste
10% of the cost of a project is typically due to change orders
38% of carbon emissions are from buildings not cars
De-risk the project
The client wanted BIM.
Why we will do BIM ?

ROI- Return on the Investment

22. 22SAM COLLARD
BIM and Procurement routes?
Large project
De-risk process?
More than one phase ?
Do something different?
high on innovation?
The client wanted BIM?
DfMA – pre–fabricate?
BIM capable team?

41. 41SAM COLLARD
BIM – International Context?
Industry led, procurement route enabled, Main Contractor – simple BIM 3D+
Outsourcing engine , no domestic market – issues code compliance
Were not really doing it to any great penetration
Leading Solutions and Guidance – insufficient market penetration
Good market penetration – complex delivery – routed in protocols – no mandate
Poor market penetration – out done by Finnish neighbours – world leaders?
Outsourcing led – academic leadership – designer penetration variable
academic - designer/contractor penetration – government enabled – complex??
Market buoyant – can be market driven – academic rigour...learn by doing
No kPI – benchmarking models?
