What is BIM? The built environment experts 3 3
Wikipedia: Building information modelling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. The resulting building information models become shared knowledge resources to support decisionmaking about a facility from earliest conceptual stages, through design and construction, through its operational life and eventual demolition.

There are many definitions of what BIM is, but at its core BIM is: a managed approach to the collection and exploitation of information across a project. The built environment experts 5 5
So why all the fuss now? The built environment experts 6 6

Introduction Background and context of PAS 1192-2 PAS 1192-2 provides specific guidance for the information management requirements associated with projects delivered using BIM. Not all information on a project will be originated, exchanged or managed in a BIM format. This information will also need to be managed in a consistent and structured way to enable efficient and accurate information exchange. BS 1192:2007 provides details of the standards and processes that should be adopted to deliver these outcomes. Only information exchanges specific to BIM are described in this PAS. It is assumed for the purposes of this standard that non-bim information exchanges between principle supplier and employer within the supply chain will be managed using equivalent information management standards. Furthermore, and for the avoidance of doubt, all project information, whether in BIM environments or in conventional data formats should be shared using a single collaborative data environment (CDE).

Recent developments Large document issue on 28 th February 2013 BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL (BIM) PROTOCOL The Protocol identifies the Building Information Models that are required to be produced by members of the Project Team and puts into place specific obligations, liabilities and associated limitations on the use of the models. The Protocol can also be used by clients to require the adoption of particular ways of working such as the adoption of a common naming standard. The built environment experts 17 17

What is a BIM model? A digital representation of the building/asset Allows data to be attached to objects/equipment Can see clashes easily Can produce detailed schedules Good for determining quantities and costs A BIM implementation plan is CRITICAL The built environment experts 31 31
BIM technologies The built environment experts 32 32
Wide range of software products Range of costs free to 9k Range of features and capabilities Ensure the software selected can meet the output requirements The built environment experts 33 33
What is a BIM? Embedded information (the i in BIM)
What can be included in the BIM? Family parameters can be used to populate schedules. Changes to schedules will update parameters which drive family geometry or viceversa. The built environment experts 35 35
