BIM – what is it?

Economic change‘What depresses me infinitely is that we seem to have moved hardly at all towards getting the design skills together, getting the professional institutes together, and getting the designers and constructors together. All this internecine struggle is very destructive. We ought to stop it.’

Sir Andrew Derbyshire

BIM – the ISO definition

Shared digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of any built object (including buildings, bridges, roads, etc.) which forms a reliable basis for decisions BS ISO 29481-1 2010

BIM – the NBS definition

A Building Information Model is a rich information model, consisting of potentially multiple data sources, elements of which can be shared across all stakeholders and be maintained across the life of a building from inception to recycling (cradle to cradle). The information model can include contract and specification properties, personnel, programming, quantities, cost, spaces and geometry. NBS, 2010

The Big BIM issue

The Big BIM issue:

The output of the design is not drawings. It is the information that is represented on the drawings. The ‘drawings’ are a representation of multiple information models that support the design and construction workflow.

Digital Built Britain

UK Government strategy

"This Government's four year strategy for BIM implementation will change the dynamics and behaviours of the construction supply chain, unlocking new, more efficient and collaborative ways of working. This whole sector adoption of BIM will put us at the vanguard of a new digital construction era and position the UK to become the world leaders in BIM.“

Francis MaudeMinister for the Cabinet Office

Summary

NBS - A knowledge system

System overview

NBS have developed an integrated BIM platform that has been designed to work across the globe and support global design and construction. It currently has four major components:

NBS BIM Toolkit. BIM execution plan, roles and responsibilitiesNBS Create. BIM specification and knowledge platformNBS National BIM Library. BIM object library, generic and actualConstruction Information Service (CIS). Standards and regulations

Linking the tools – the product map

Geometry model

Specification and guidance
