The UK construction industry has emerged from its longest recession in living memory to a point where activity levels are placing increasing strain on resources. With industry forecasts predicting further significant growth for the coming years, additional pressure is likely and as a result, the need for delivering efficiencies in design and delivery stages are more needed than ever. However, the availability of resource and expertise that can research, implement and educate the industry in new ways of working (including BIM) is limited. Despite the improvements noted below, further investment is needed to inform and enable the majority to understand and adopt the new methods of working. In this report we see that BIM adoption is moving from being led by innovators and early adopters, towards being a more mature market, where the more mainstream are investigating and assessing the benefits of doing so. Time, levels of expertise and cost remain barriers to BIM adoption. There is still a lack of clarity in the industry, and many are sceptical of the claims made for BIM, by some. However, those who have adopted BIM are willing to make its benefits clear. These include improved cost efficiencies, client outcomes, co-ordination, speed of delivery and better information retrieval. These are all benefits of BIM, seen by the majority of BIM users. With 92% telling us they will be using BIM within three years, we expect those benefits of BIM to be near universally felt. Meanwhile, the Government’s BIM target date of April 2016 is drawing near. The report examines the industry’s assessment of the Government’s decision to place BIM, as an enabler, at the heart of its strategy. The industry broadly supports the Government’s approach, describing it as being on ‘the right track’. It sees BIM as assisting the UK meeting at least two key targets – 33% reduction in the cost of construction and whole life costs, and a 50% reduction in the overall time, from inception to completion. It is through the success of BIM in centrally-procured projects that we will see – and are seeing – real savings that make the return on investment in BIM evident to all sectors of the construction industry. In our first survey, I wrote of ‘putting the ‘I into BIM’ – information at the heart of this technology. We have clearly moved on from the time when 3D CAD could be mistaken for BIM. At NBS we have been working to deliver increasingly sophisticated, and standardised, levels of information into the federated information model through the timeline. This began with our innovative specification product, NBS Create, and then developed through the creation and growth of the NBS National BIM Library. We were able to fully integrate these products together through plug-ins, allowing information to be co-ordinated between the specification model and the geometry model. 2015 sees the next stage in this trajectory of development. Part funded by Innovate UK, and produced in partnership with the industry, we have released the NBS BIM Toolkit. This free to use toolkit offers a digital Plan of Work tool, and a new unified classification system. It provides support to define, manage and validate responsibility for information development, as well as its delivery, at each and every stage of the construction life-cycle. These are innovative times. The BIM journey continues – though the road isn’t always straight. BIM is still developing, not least in the definition and standardisation of the higher levels, as well as in the development and adoption of COBie. Come 2016, we look forward to BIM, and the BIM mandate, proving their worth. ● NBS and RIBA are members of the BIM Technologies Alliance supporting the UK Government’s Construction Strategy BIM Working Group NBS National BIM Report 2015 Completing BIM Level 2 Introduction Security PAS 1192:5 Rob Manning I was asked to write an article that addresses (to be published summer 2015) Government Soft Landings the activities of completing the Level 2 BIM Enveloping all aspects of information documentation and tools.

Due to construction clients’ ‘buy-in’ of the BIM concept, the entire industry is encouraged to pursue a vision of changing work practices in line with the BIM ideas. Also, existing research recognises that the implementation of BIM affects all areas of the construction process from design of the building, through the organisation of projects, to the way in which the construction process is executed and how the finished product is maintained. The problem however is that, existing research in technology utilisation in general, and BIM literature in particular, has offered limited help to practitioners trying to implement BIM, for focusing predominantly, on ‘technology-centric’ views. Not surprisingly therefore, the current BIM literature emphasises on topics such as capability maturity models and anticipated outcomes of BIM rollouts. Rarely does the extant literature offer practitioners a cohesive approach to BIM implementation.

  • An Ontology of the Uses of Building Information Modeling
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School The College of Engineering AN ONTOLOGY OF THE USES OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING A Dissertation in Architectural Engineering By Ralph G. Kreider © 2013 Ralph G. Kreider Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2013 The dissertation of Ralph G. Kreider was reviewed and approved* by the following: John I. Messner Professor of Architectural Engineering Dissertation Adviser Co-Chair of Committee Chimay J. Anumba Department Head of Architectural Engineering Professor of Architectural Engineering Co-Chair of Committee Robert M. Leicht Assistant Professor of Architectural Engineering Ute Poerschke Associate Professor of Architecture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT Building Information Modeling (BIM) does not change the purpose for performing a task related to delivering a facility – only the means by which the purpose is achieved. Currently, no common language exists for the purposes of implementing BIM. This lack of a common language makes it challenging to precisely communicate with others the purposes for implementing BIM. The goal of this research is to create that common language by developing a BIM Use Ontology. A BIM Use (Use) is defined as a method of applying Building Information Modeling during a facility’s life-cycle to achieve one or more specific objectives. The BIM Use Ontology (the Ontology) provides a shared vocabulary that is applied to model (or express) the BIM Uses, including the type of objects (or terms), and concepts, properties, and relationships that exist. The methods performed to develop the BIM Use Ontology included: 1) defining domain and scope, 2) acquiring domain knowledge, 3) documenting domain terms, 4) integrating domain terms, 5) evaluating (refining and validating) the BIM Use Ontology, and 6) documenting the BIM Use Ontology.

BIM is a relatively new technology praised by all participants in the Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industry for its innovative tools, and the promise of a high return of investment and productivity increase. The construction industry experimented little growth in productivity in the last decades, and is heavily relying on technology rather than intense labor in order to boost productivity.

    Better Designs with Better BIM What exactly is BIM? There are several ways to look at BIM. (Building Information Modeling) • “BIG BIM,” also known as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD): A business model for design, execution, and delivery of buildings by collaborative, integrated, and productive teams composed of key project participants. Building upon early-phase contributions of team members’ expertise, these teams are guided by principles of trust, transparent processes, effective collaboration, open information sharing, team success tied to project success, shared risk and reward, value-based decision making, and utilization of full technological capabilities and support. The outcome is the opportunity to design, build, and operate as efficiently as possible.
