6. • Define Decision Gates
• Define Performance Criteria for Each Gateway
• Use Technology to produce searchable consistent information
• Verify performance requirements using exception reporting
WHAT DOES BIM REQUIRE
AND OUR AUDIENCE SAYS?

7. • Well planned BIM brings efficiencies
• Well planned BIM reduces errors
• Mandated by 2016 On ALL Government funded Projects
• Contractor & developer clients are seeing the benefits and are
now demanding it
WHY SHOULD WE DO BIM?
AND OUR AUDIENCE SAYS?

Effective communication
Collaborative working
Excellence in the use of
BIM tools
WHAT DOES BIM REQUIRE?
• Collaboration
• Clarity of objectives
• Effective process mapping
• Defined Decision Gate
packages
• Embedded information to suit
long term operational needs
• Effective model management
• Harvest data from BIM models

10. How is the design be developed?
What level of detail?
How is the design analysed
How is the Model to be used?
Design Models vs Construction + fabrication Models
Getting the brief right, establishing EIRs, engaging BIM

17. PAS1192-2:2013
• PAS1192-2:2013 builds on the BS1192:2007 as a means of
delivering the employers requirements and the employers
information requirements for any type of project.
• The main purpose of the PAS is to ensure that the employer and
those tendering for projects fully understand the needs of the
project delivery.
• No Surprises.

18. THE BIM LIFECYCLE

19. KEY PROCESSES IN PAS1192-2:2013

21. CPIX BIM ASSESSMENT FORM
• 4 Sections
• 64 questions
• Sample Questions:
G2.1 Do you work to a CAD / BIM Standard?
G3 How do you demonstrate or what measures do you have In place to ensure
compliance with your CAD / BIM Standard?
G6 Can you provide CAD / BIM related qualifications and CPD Certification for proposed
team members?

22. CPIX IT ASSESSMENT FORM
• 14 Sections
• 115 questions
• Sample Questions:
1.3.1 Please indicate the drawing and CAD modelling approaches that are used in your
organisation. Give a rough indication as to the proportion of your outputs that use each
method in a typical year.
1.3.7 Describe briefly how your CAD operator skills are kept up to date.
1.6 Please describe any limitations placed on your ability to exchange electronic
information by your PI insurers, eg a requirement to send parallel paper copies of
electronic document. If you have a policy statement, please attach it for reference.

23. CPIX RESOURCE ASSESSMENT

24. CPIX TASK TEAM INFORMATION DELIVERY
PLAN

25. WHAT THE # IS LOD?

26. LEVEL OF DETAIL
• Level of Details is what the object looks like graphically

27. LEVEL OF INFORMATION
• Level of Information is how much information is contained with in
the element

28. LEVEL OF DEVELOPEMENT
Level of Development is what you can rely on the object for ie how
much has this been thought through

29. LEVEL OF DEFINITION
Level of Definition is a combination of LOModelDetail & LOInformation

31. BACK IN THE REAL WORLD

32. SO WHAT’S INCLUDED IN YOUR MODEL?

33. WHAT’S THE CONTRACTOR LOOKING FOR?

34. ROUND UP
• BIM is all about good Project Management and Project Excellence
• Level 2 BIM is still an aspiration
• Understand your full deliverables
• Directors need to input to LOD to clearly define BIM deliverables
• Don’t be shy to admit your failings! BEP has capability and
training assessments for a reason
• Modelling Strategy is a must
• Don’t let BIM become a way to micro-manage the design team

35. Thank you for listening.
