UK COBie/IFC Trial Background
Trial Participants
WHY? COBie is mandated by Government It was (is) a relatively new concept to most of the industry Early work had been very manual Contractors were leading the push for collaborative BIM this included COBie - hence the need to involve contractors COBie incorporates inputs from a wide range of stakeholders hence the need for open standards COBie is a sub-set of IFC hence the logic of focusing on IFC THE WAY WE EXPLOIT DATA IS CHANGING
WHAT? 2012 Concept trial Trial Objectives To validate and check the suitability of an IFC file for the generation of a COBie data drop. To validate and check the generation of the corresponding COBie datasets from the IFC file. To uncover any issues with the use of IFC for COBie in real business environments.
2012 Concept trial Key Trial Outcomes The workflow with IFC can succeed Enforce IFC import/export on commercial software buildingsmart to improve effective IFC certification Clear and consistent modelling standards Clear and consistent component naming Overall support for developing all of the above
2013 Trials Recognising the need to use federated model data as a source and find means to validate data quality
2013 Trial Key Trial Outcomes We need to follow PAS 1192 EIR/BEP A Clear and agreed Classification system (UNICLASS 2.0?) Clear and consistent modelling standards IFC QA and Validation Efficient Mapping

Key Components of BIM QA VALIDATION A process that ensures data is present CHECKING A process that ensures the data is correct
EXAMPLE COBie Production VALIDATION Does the data exist? Is there data present in the required field Is the data in the required field on time/late/early
EXAMPLE COBie Production CHECKING Is the data correct?
