Why it is important? • Where, when and why the industry USES THIS INFORMATION?

9. ARCHITECTURAL, ENGNEERING & CONSTRUCTION & THE DELIVERY CHAIN UNDERSTANDING THE FULL DELIVERY CHAIN Intelligent briefing refurbish Idea Concept Design Build Manage Operate Redevelop Demolish • This is also known as the “LIFE CYCLE”

10. PROVIDING RIGHT TYPEOF INFORMATION The Argument Intelligent briefing …but we do have brochures, datasheets, specifications! Here they are... refurbish INFORMATION A Idea Concept Design Build Manage Operate Redevelop Demolish INFORMATION B

11. PROVIDING RIGHT TYPE OF INFORMATION All the information may be there, it may not be assembled in a uniform manner Making the information suitable for BIM INFORMATION A INFORMATION B BIM INFORMATION A BIM INFORMATION B Where do youthink your information is used? …….it can be used at any time and any where in the Life Cycle…..

12. …so where do I sit in the BIM delivery chain? Construction Professional services Intelligent briefing Facilities management Legal services Suppliers and sub suppliers – The SME Bundle refurbish Idea Concept Design Build Manage Operate Redevelop Demolish Financial services Financial services Financial services Financial services Financial services

13. These are the questions everyone is asking……. Why are peer organisations disjointed Why requirements are continuously Changing? Who is right? mixed messages! The Jargon What is IFC? What is Uniclass? What is COBie? What is NRM? Whichcamp to follow? What technology do I need?

14. Firstly - The Jargon dots joined – the simple version Everything to do with industry is being put into a DATABASE BIM is all about assembling informationin a pattern so it is easily accessible This information about your products and serviceswhich becomes the DATA

15. Now ...to answer the most commonly asked questions Why are peer organisations disjointed? Which camp to follow? Who is right? – the mixed messages Why requirements are continuously changing?

16. The Technology Choice • - the easy stuff Assemble your product and services information without errors in a structured format as required. INFO A BIM INFO A You need to have your data tested that it complies and can be adopted WelcometoBIM

25. The implications • getting the models • Distributed costs • Distributed investment • Good quality control • Easy to adapt • Short & distributed learning • Sort time to market • Low costs • High tech investment • Good quality control • Easy to adapt • Long learning period • Long time to market • High cost • No investment • Difficult quality control • Cannot adapt • Short learning period • Sort time to market outsource them specialist houses create them yourself develop them through local collaboration
