Consequences of Implementing the Buildingsmart Data Dictionary Department of Real Estate and Construction Management Thesis no. 363 Built Environment Master of Science, 30 credits Architectural Design and Construction Project Management Consequences of Implementing the buildingSMART Data Dictionary From a construction company’s perspective Author: Supervisor: Erik Jönsson Väino Tarandi, KTH Maria Freeney, NCC Stockholm 2015 Construction Sverige AB Master of Science thesis Title Consequences of Implementing the buildingSMART Data Dictionary Authors Erik Jönsson Department Architectural Design and Construction Project Management Master Thesis number 363 Supervisor Väino Tarandi Keywords Building Information Modeling, BIM Standards, buildingSMART Data Dictionary, Object Libraries, VDC Abstract Building Information Modeling is a topic widely discussed in construction research today. It is a concept that potentially could benefit the construction industry in several different ways. Many believe that BIM will revolutionize the industry in the future. The buildingSMART data dictionary (bsDD) is an international standard developed by the neutral organization buildingSMART. It is a standard that defines the terminology surrounding BIM objects. Much research has been done on the potential benefits of BIM in general. However, no research has been made on the immediate consequences of an implementation of the buildingSMART data dictionary. The purpose of this thesis is to determine how a property development and construction company, that already works with BIM in many of its projects, would be affected by an implementation of the bsDD. The possible consequences of bsDD implementation are mapped out and analyzed through a literature review. In addition to this, a simulation is conducted with the purpose of showing how object libraries can be created on an organizational level. The findings of this thesis show that the consequences of a bsDD implementation can be summarized into three categories; technological, operational, and contractual consequences. The main consequences of the implementation would be that the employees would have to be provided education and continual support, through guidelines and internal BIM standards etc. The consequence with the largest impact, however, would be the task of creating an object library. This task is required since the bsDD does not have any Swedish content yet.

In housebuilding it will require developers to adopt new design standards and processes, which have been historically developed with bespoke commercial projects in mind. This requires an understanding of those standards and processes, and how they can be applied in a practical way within the house building community. BIM brings many new terms and vocabulary into The UK and Scottish governments have mandated the working environment and navigating through within public procurement the adoption of BIM them can be daunting. There are many forums industry standards, to help cross sector and and guides to help industry transition over from international collaboration while driving efficiency 2D to BIM enabled 3D design processes and into the construction industry, which has been collaborative working practises. However, these lagging in adopting digital practices. tend to reflect bespoke one-off commercial For the housebuilding community to navigate the projects, where uptake has been greatest.

Email: [email protected] Abstract: Nowadays construction projects are more and more delivered by Building Information Models instead of traditional 2D drawings. This allows for information rich projects but this information is, in many cases, accessible only for those who are able to use a BIM authoring software. In the current market, both the top levels (CEO and executives) and the low levels (on site and off site operators) of an asset or a facility management company are not able to use a BIM authoring tool, thus to use the valuable information stored in the model. Moreover, BIM models that work fine for the design stage will be of no use during the operational stage if not correctly created. A research has been carried on to cope with these problems and the preliminary results are shown in this paper. Asset managers’ work procedures and needs have been analyzed to identify what information is needed and when in the operational stage and then an IFC compliant standard has been adopted to store data.

  • Use of Building Information Modeling Technology in the Integration of the Handover Process and Facilities Management
    USE OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING TECHNOLOGY IN THE INTEGRATION OF THE HANDOVER PROCESS AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT by Sergio O. Alvarez-Romero A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering August, 2014 APPROVED: Guillermo Salazar, PhD, Major Advisor Leonard Albano, PhD, Committee Member Alfredo Di Mauro, AIA, Committee Member Laura Handler, LEED AP, Tocci Building Companies, Committee Member Fredrick Hart, PhD, Committee Member William Spratt, MSc FM, Committee Member John Tocci, CEO Tocci Building Companies, Tahar El-Korchi, PhD, Department Head Committee Member Abstract The operation and maintenance of a constructed facility takes place after the construction is finished. It is usually the longest phase in the lifecycle of the facility and the one that substantially contributes to its lifecycle cost. To efficiently manage the operation and maintenance of a facility, the staff in charge needs reliable and timely information to support decision making throughout the facility’s lifecycle. The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is gradually but steadily changing the way constructed facilities are designed and built. As a result of its use a significant amount of coordinated information is generated during this process and stored in the digital model. However, once the project is completed the owner does not necessarily receive full benefits from the model for future operation and maintenance of the facility. This research explores the information that in the context of educational facilities has value to the owner/operator and that can be delivered at the end of the construction stage through a BIM-enabled digital handover process.

Barrett1, John P. Spillane1,*, James B. P. Lim2 1School of Planning, Architecture & Civil Engineering, Queen’s University Belfast, Belfast, United Kingdom 2Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received October 12, 2013; Revised November 04, 2013; Accepted November 13, 2013 Abstract The ability of building information modeling (BIM) to positively impact projects in the AEC through greater collaboration and integration is widely acknowledged. This paper aims to examine the development of BIM and how it can contribute to the cold-formed steel (CFS) building industry. This is achieved through the adoption of a qualitative methodology encompassing a literature review, exploratory interviews with industry experts, culminating in the development of e-learning material for the sector. In doing so, the research team have collaborated with one of the United Kingdom’s largest cold-formed steel designer/fabricators. By demonstrating the capabilities of BIM software and providing technical and informative videos in its creation, this project has found two key outcomes. Firstly, to provide invaluable assistance in the transition from traditional processes to a fully collaborative 3D BIM as required by the UK Government under the “Government Construction Strategy” by 2016 in all public sector projects.

HAFTOR Bengt MAGNUSSON Jan ROSVALL 1 Use of BIM for existing Buildings On Building Information Modeling: an explorative study © Erika JOHANSSON Darek M. HAFTOR Bengt MAGNUSSON Jan ROSVALL Department of Informatics and Department of Construction Technology, Linnaeus University, Växjö, Sweden Linnaeus University Press Växjö, Sweden June, 2014 ISBN 978-91-87925-02-3 2 Use of BIM for existing Buildings Abstract Building Information Model (BIM) is now a well-established notion in the context of built environment management, which includes the construction industry and the facility management industry. At first sight, BIM represents the various tools that support formulation and usage of models of built environments. Vendors that develop and provide BIM technologies typically offer bold promises regarding the positive effects of the usage of BIM. These positive effects include increased efficiency, quality and safety, in the context of the whole lifecycle of a built environment. However, the main emphasis of that rhetoric is placed on the benefits gained from using BIM in the construction and maintenance of new built environments. As the overwhelming majority of built environments are made up of already existing constructions, rather than projected buildings, a key question is: what are the practices for the use of BIM for existing buildings? An explorative research study has been conducted to respond to that question. The main
