Estates remodelling - BIM enabled

Revit concept models linked to briefing data to support client consultation

Pedestrian modelling technology provides designers, owners and operators with clear information about crowding, usage patterns and occupant safety in a facility.

This predictive power enables positive decisions to be made early in the design process with minimum cost and disruption.

Facilities management – legacy data

15Peter Barker

Data structure and terminology

When data is inconsistently formatted, we limit the capabilities of BIM software

16Peter Barker

Data structure and terminology

To realise the full potential of BIM, data structure and terminology must be consistent throughout the workflow and reflect regional industry practice

Early planning of data structures to be consistent, comprehensive and appropriate

Efficient / Consistent information

Automated Quality Assurance

Data can be exchanged using the IFC Schema

IFC provides one source of information which can be automatically checked and reduces scope for human error

Summary

City modelling initiatives can support a wide range of asset management benefits

BIM technologies can support estates rationalisation and remodelling

Dealing with legacy estates data presents challenges and there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution

Consistent data structure and terminology is essential for downstream BIM uses including facilities management (eg COBie data set)

There is a need for industry standard BIM object libraries

Effective use of BIM for facilities management relies on progressive population of data and predefined data drops

Open data formats (eg IFC) are the key to interoperability

Robust, thorough and early BIM execution planning is of the highest importance
