BEYOND BIM
Léon van Berlo
“Want we bouwen aan de toekomst,
we leven voor elkaar”
WHAT IS BIM?
WHAT IS BIM?
TECHNOLOGY, OR A PROCESS?
WHAT IS BIM?
HOLY GRAIL:
CONNECTING EVERYTHING TO BIM
Beyond BIM
The backside of the future:
Todays practise
“Voorlopig gaan we nog even door
Op het lichtend pad
het verkeerde spoor”
1998 (?)
“SHARED DATA MODEL”
shared
data
model
COMMON MISCONCEPTION:
Shared data model is NOT equal to:
Shared data(base)
Shared BIM model instance
Shared data model comes from the need to share/distribute data in a
standardized way…. “let’s agree this is a door”
shared data model == creating agreements (interoperability)
SO WHAT IS BIM?
Beyond BIM
BIM == DATA

2012: REPORT
“THERE IS NO CENTRAL MODEL”
(IN A MULTI DISCIPLINE PROJECT)
DENMARK 2006:
NL 2012:
FOUND CONCLUSION:
WORKING (LIVE) IN A ‘CENTRAL’ BIM
HAS MORE DOWNSIDES THAN
ADVANTAGES.
(OWNERSHIP OF OBJECTS, LEGAL ASPECTS,
BIM MANAGER, CHANGE REQUESTS, ETC...)
“CENTRALIZING BIM
STIMULATES WRONG BEHAVIOUR”
THE REAL QUESTIONS ARE:
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO MY JOB?
WHAT DO OTHERS NEED FROM ME TO DO THEIRS?
HOW ABOUT ALL THESE “CLOUD BIM”
PLATFORMS?
“Open API”
“Platform”
“Extendable”
ISLAND!

Comparison of ‘islands’
THE SITUATION
“integration is nót about sitting on the same island”
You can only use the features of your island
No crossing over to the other island for that one cool feature they have!
No integration of features between islands!

BIM BOTS: DECENTRALIZING FEATURES
Niche tools connecting to each other
Getting the data to flow
Connecting the dots!
Beyond BIM
THE BUSINESS
Automating tasks
Individual applications; not dependence on a ‘platform’
Can be closed source / ask money for specific features
Can be more than one per topic (competition)
Is centralized for the bot provider (big data analyses)
This:
Creates a new market for niche appliations (you don’t have to choose an
island anymore; combine features)
Takes advantage of the fragmented nature of the industry
Open approach instead of getting everyone on one island

DATA DRIVEN INDUSTRY
Many many (!) more data in the (near) future
From many different sources
Even ‘shared data model’ will be impossible in the near future
IFC is ‘one’ of the many dataformats
AMSTERDAM ARENA
“Data driven operations”
“Living BIM”
Working with information about traffic information, weather reports, seating
availability, parking gate, beer taps, heating and cooling, automatic doors, fire
system, temperature, waiting lines, video cameras (!), etc...

BIM AND GEO INFO
2D MAP AS A START…
USING PROPERTIES FROM THE DATA
Using even more properties…

SO…..
Beyond BIM
DON’T HIDE
Many data are available
A holistic system view will be obsolete the moment it is born
There will always be more to link/add/integrate
How about your data?

AND NO, IT WON’T BE SIMPLE OR EASY
Beyond BIM
