The “Seven pillars of (BIM) wisdom”
June 18, 2014 Leave a comment
In 2011 the report for the Government Construction Client Group defined Level 2 BIM as being:
“Managed 3D environment held in separate discipline “BIM” tools with attached data….”
However, as a consequence of ongoing development of the processes and tools available, and feedback from early adopter projects and other industry experience, the Government has recently refined its definition of Level 2 BIM as having the following seven components:
-
PAS 1192-2:2013 Specification for information management for the capital/delivery phase of assets using buildinginformation modelling
- PAS 1192-3:2014 Specification for information management for the operational phase of assets using building information modelling
- BS 1192-4 Collaborative production of information. Part 4: Fulfilling employers information exchange requirements using COBie – Code of practice (due to be published Summer 2014)
- Building Information Model (BIM) Protocol
- GSL (Government Soft Landings)
- Digital Plan of Work (in preparation)
- Classification (in preparation)
1. PAS 1192-2:2013 builds on the processes described in BS 1192-2007, and introduces new concepts such as employer’s information requirements (EIR) – the employer’s expression what information they require from the project and the format it should be in, and BIM execution plans (BEP) – the supply chain’s response to the EIR showing how it will meet its requirements.
