Tudor’s team and partnership

Construction Program@CRP Henri Tudor: our competencies

•  Business “experts” (Architects, Civil Engineer / Dr., PhD students)

•  IT scientists •  Appropriation, networking, IPR

Our team is historically involved in CRTI-B

innovation projects

•  Standardization of electronic collaboration

Today Tudor is co-animator of the NeoBuild

innovation pole

•  Series of BIM workshops

Designers - Ordre des Architectes et Ingénieurs-Conseils Contractors -  Fedil -  Fédération des artisans -  Chambre des Métiers

Building Information Modelling

… Not a technology or software system … Not a single-discipline model BIM is reliable data about a facility

Modelling Facility-related Production and

usage processes

Collective process

Building Information Modelling Industry-driven research challenge

•  Huge cost of lack of interoperability between software systems in design/construction

•  Cost of uninformed decision making in Facility Management

•  “Facility-related Data” as an economical and innovation driver

BIM & BIM •  Building Information Model

•  Knowing its building & assets to optimize property management (asbestos cement areas, lift maintenance, security, taxes,

•  R&D challenge of describing building-related concepts •  Building Information Modeling

•  A collaborative design/construction/use process

BIM is a reality in several regions

•  USA, Finland, UK, Singapore, Canada… •  January 2014: EC decision to recommend BIM for

public construction procurement across Europe

BIM Maturity

Maturity of organizations regarding BIM •  Company level: object-based modeling •  Project level: information exchange

processes based on models •  Sectorial level: a global view, linked to

public (procurement) policies

BIM implementation

Identify BIM goals and uses

According to an organization’s own goals •  With level of importance

Within a list of BIM uses •  Identified through case studies •  Approved by practitioners

Design BIM project execution process

Reference process(es) for BIM execution planning •  Activities perfomed •  Information exchanged

Template from BIM Project Execution Planning Guide Version 2.1 Pennstate University - CIC

Developing information exchanges (IE)

It requires to identify: •  The model receiver: project team members that will receive the IE •  The model file type: define the software used to manipule the IE •  The level of detail (LoD) of the IE •  The responsible actor authoring the information

Then it is necessary to verify the matching between authored

information and requested information

Technological implementation

Exchange formats to be used

•  Test of exchanges between software systems

•  Customization of export/import

Technological infrastructure needs

•  In terms of software and hardware

•  Authoring/review/collaboration

Quality Controls •  Checking methods

Conclusion

Some remarks

BIM strategy •  Owner requirements

•  Required data for asset management •  Requirement regarding project management

and decision-making through BIM •  BIM project organization

BIM Implementation •  Design/construction/consultancy teams

should be deeply involved •  Taking into account the maturity of

organizations involved •  Structured, time-consuming process

Contractual issues •  Legal value of BIM data vs. usual

documentation •  Liability for BIM data
