Building Information Modelling (BIM) has reinvented many methods commonly adopted as the norm for project delivery in the design and engineering industry.

Most of the AEC industry is very well informed about BIM and its advantages by now, but, adopting them has not been the same for all.

PAS 1192, and the recently released ISO 19650, sets out that you need to have a Common Data Environment (CDE) to comply with how building information is collected, managed and distributed during a BIM project. This article looks at what exactly is aCDE and what it means for the workflow of an AEC project by addressing some key questions.

Many of the larger, tech-savvy contractors have engaged with BIM for some time now and are actively championing the adoption of BIM. However a large, though shrinking, number of contractors still only have a fuzzy understanding of BIM.

BIM is solving many problems in the design and construction of built assets, particularly when it comes to collaboration, and we are slowly seeing commonly understand, well-received approaches and definitions surrounding BIM.

ISO 19650 is a set of international BIM standards developed by the British Standards Institute (BSI). So far the set is made up of two standards IS0 19650-1 and ISO 19650-2. These two standards are based upon the UK 1192 series. Namely BS 1192 and PAS 1192-2 respectively.

The National Audit Office describes Modern Methods of Construction, or MMC, as a ‘process to produce more, better quality homes in less time’. […]

If you have worked within the AEC industry, you have likely heard of BS 1192, and If you have worked on project delivered through BIM you will have most certainly come across a reference to PAS 1192.

The construction industry has long been criticised for its reluctancy to change and adopt new technologies. Projects are rarely delivered on time and […]

In 2011 the UK government set out an ambitious mandate requiring all centrally procured building projects to adopt “fully collaborative 3D BIM” by 2016. In doing so the government cemented the UK’s position as a world leader in BIM and put the concept of digital construction at the forefront of the industry’s mind.

If you’re already finding BIM a little bit confusing, the number of acronyms that crop up in almost every sentence probably isn’t helping. […]

With the UK governments requirements of BIM falling in lines with what is defined as Level 2 BIM, it is hoped that the government’s mandate will lead to rest of the industry following suit, gradually developing towards also adopting Level 2 BIM as a minimum in the future.

The history of BIM is one shrouded in acronyms and often confusing terminology. Many of the articles you are likely to find online will help you understand that BIM is not simply about software but a process of increased collaboration enabled by the better sharing of information.

Since the government BIM Level 2 mandate came into effect in 2016, you’ve probably not stopped hearing about it. But what is BIM? […]

When it comes to digital information systems in relation to built assets we tend to think of BIM. More specifically we tend to think of BIM in relation to its use in the design and construction phases of new builds.

Facilities management and AEC professionals are on the verge of joining the big data club. There is increasing talk of data and information in relation to building assets.

The rate of adopting digital technologies has happened to such an extent that the internet and wireless data have become part of our everyday lives.

When looking retrospectively at the course of history it is easy to see how technology has helped build products, and ultimately the places and structures that shape the modern world.

The BIM Software market is booming and is offering particularly compelling opportunities for the defence sector.

First it was consultancy, now it’s full partnership: Assystem will now include REBIM technology as one of its engineering solutions for its clients.

So, what is Open Data? Open Data is defined by the Open Definition and requires that the data be A. Legally open: that is, available under an open (data) license that permits anyone freely to access, reuse and redistribute B. Technically open: that is, that the data be available for no more than the cost of reproduction and in machine-readable and bulk form.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) involves all related costs across the asset’s entire life cycle to provide a more accurate basis for determining the value (cost vs. ROI) of the overall investment than the purchase price alone. The overall TCO includes direct and indirect expenses which also include intangible or ‘softer’ costs that may be assigned a monetary value. For example, an asset’s TCO might include the initial purchase price, a good deal on ongoing support, maintenance, and low system management time because of its user-friendly control systems and interfaces.
