The Challenges

13. A time of radical change...
“This strategy calls for a profound
change in the relationship
between public authorities and the
construction industry to ensure the
Government consistently gets a
good deal and the country gets the
social and economic infrastructure
it needs for the long-term”
CAPEX efficiencies of
20% Cost & Carbon

14. What is Government BIM?
2.32 Government will require fully collaborative 3D
BIM (with all project and asset information,
documentation and data being electronic) as a
minimum by 2016. A staged plan will be published
with mandated milestones showing measurable
progress at the end of each year.
Mandated for Central Government Departments
And centrally funded projects!

15. Government Soft Landings (GSL)
Powered by BIM
To champion better outcomes for our built
assets during the design & construction
stages
though Government Soft Landings (GSL)
powered by a Building Information Model
(BIM) to ensure value is achieved in the
operational lifecycle of an asset.
BIM + GSL = Better Outcomes

Towards a Digital Built Britain.

17. What & Why BIM?

18. What is BIM?
BIM is a revolution in how our built assets are conceived, designed,
built, managed & maintained.
This is achieved by a development of traditional methods using
collaborative digital modelling and structured information
management through the whole life of an asset – currently within
existing contracts.
The benefits of BIM are now well proven with the construction
industry and some asset owners unlocking significant benefit from its
use.
BIM brings a clearer earlier vision of any built asset to all stakeholders
and gives greater certainty, at lower cost, and with a reduced risk and
environmental impact.
Above all BIM is a process using digitally produced structured data.
To release these benefits Clients must be clear on what
information they need & when, and how this is reliably delivered
by their suppliers.

19. Why BIM?
Better, faster, more cost effective built assets
…across whole life - Build, Operate & Maintain
Earlier visual understanding - clients, operators, users
Early Employers Information Requirements
Greater outcome & cost certainty, fewer changes
Lower risk premium, higher utilisation
Lower carbon, waste & H&S incidents
Target 20% CAPEX, 33% WHOLE LIFE savings

20. Some BIM benefits
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 take-off Client engagement
Improved spatial coordination Programme reduction Off-site
prefabrication with confidence

electronic structured asset information (data)

22. BIM Task Group
Level 2 BIM Delivery Support
Funded by Cabinet Office via BIS & CIC
To assist delivery of mandated BIM into Gov Departments…
…implied to Local Government Authority & Agency Groups.
Assisted by procurement & process standards & documents
Level 2 BIM - a minimum change to existing contracts
Direct engagement with Central Government Departments
Via Regional & National Groups to 400 Local Gov Authorities
Dedicated support team plus BIM4LG community website
Sharing of Early Adopter Projects, Efficiencies & Lessons Learned
