“This Government’s four year strategy Not just a seen

for BIM implementation will change the as a ‘good idea’
dynamics and behaviours of the
construction supply chain, unlocking
new, more efficient and collaborative ... BIM is now a
ways of working. Policy!

This whole sector adoption of BIM will

put us at the vanguard of a new digital
construction era and position the UK to
become the world leaders in BIM.”

• What is the scope

• Level 2 BIM by 2016
• defined as “file based collaboration and library
management.”
• Crudely defined, Level 2 BIM is
• a series of domain specific models
• e.g. architectural, structural, services, etc.
• with the provision of a single environment to store
shared data and information
• COBie UK 2012.
• BS1192/PAS1192

UK BIM Landscape

• What is BIM to the UK Government?

• essentially ... a value creating collaboration
• through the entire life-cycle of an asset
• underpinned by the creation, collation and exchange of
shared 3D models
• and intelligent, structured data attached to them
• Better value and with minimise project failures

• A way to build more assets for the same total

expenditure
• Budget friendly economic growth

10
UK BIM Landscape

• UK Government Hypothesis
• That Government as a client can derive significant
improvements in ....
• Cost
• Value
• and Carbon performance
• Through the use of open sharable asset information.

11
UK BIM Landscape

• The Efficiency Stretch

• Target is 20% saving

• Not just through BIM.

• Refers to CapEx cost savings

• however the largest prize for BIM lies in the Operational
stages of the project life-cycle.
• The Government Construction Strategy seeks to unlock
Capital and Operational benefits.

12

13
UK BIM Landscape

• What will industry gain?

• BIM, if successfully implemented, will ..
• help organisation strip the waste from their processes
• which could be in the bandwidth of 20-30%.
• This can be achieved by designing and building the
asset virtually, once, twice….
• .... until it can be built once flawlessly on site.

• What will government gain?

• A more effective construction sector
• The ability to build more for the same money
• An efficient engine for economic growth
• The ability to better manage assets
• Reduced cost and carbon in use
14
UK BIM Landscape

• Push
• The Government defines a requirement in broadest
terms but leaves the supply chain to develop the
solution.
• The ‘push element’ includes the infrastructure of tools,
processes, standards and training necessary to
deliver top class BIM.
• Pull
• The Government has mandated the use of BIM
derived data on all projects and defined what outputs
are required from the BIM model.
• The ‘pull element’ covers the volume and increasing
demand for the use of the model.

 The Impact of BIM – in the Middle East

Every now and then, something

comes along that we know can’t
be ignored.

BIM is one of those things!

25
The Impact of BIM – in the Middle East

• At the ‘early adoption’ stage.

• Potential
• There is huge potential for BIM usage in the region
• With so many on-going and planned projects.
• However, many firms need guidance on how best to
implement BIM and maximize its benefits.“

Head of Department of Architectural Engineering

• BuildingSmart Middle East Objectives

• Surveying the Construction Sector
• to understand use of BIM
• Raising Awareness of buildingSMART
• and in particular, BIM
• Showing Direction
• as a neutral body, guiding businesses through change.
• Providing education
• to meet skill requirements
• Developing Standards
• appropriate to regional needs
• Providing a support Mechanism
• for Implementation
• bridging the gap between theory and practice
28
The Impact of BIM – in the Middle East

• Is the Middle East the same as elsewhere?

• As a region that is often cited by BIM

professionals as one that doesn’t fully
implement construction IT, could these changes
mean the Middle East falls behind in terms of
construction technology and work place skills?
• Louis Khoury, Autodesk

• This should not be the case ... as BIM will thrive

on activity.
• Tim Cole, Causeway

29
The Impact of BIM – in the Middle East

• Is the Middle East the same as elsewhere?

• BIM adoption requires a few key ingredients:

• An appreciation of the BIM benefits

• Experience

• A commitment to overcome the obstacles

• A desire to collaborate with project partners

• Projects to work on
• To build the benefits incrementally

The Impact of BIM

• Open Platform
• You can’t control the applications that everyone
uses in a collaborative environment
• BIM solutions must provide
• A secure open platform for all BIM data
• Ability to collaborate in a multi disciplinary environment
• Whole lifecycle support
• Concept to Operation
• Lifecycle awareness

35
Summary

• The BIM landscape in the UK

• Accepts the benefits
• Is addressing the practical challenges
• Is driven by the government mandate
• Will adopt BIM in increments
• Not all in one bite!

• The impact of BIM in the Middle East

• Early adopters already using BIM
• Will need support
• e.g. RICS, BuildingSmart, Governments
• Potential to improve delivery efficiency
• Cost, Time, Risk & Carbon
• Will need drivers to take this forward
• Government, Clients, Facilities Managers, Consultants? 36

A view of the Future

• This won’t happen on its own!

• If BIM is to work ...

• The model must be robust
• Collaboratively designed
• Validated and de-risked
• The model should must contain the required details
• By Cost Consultants
• Has this been defined?
• By Contractors
• By Owners, Operators, Managers and Maintainers

45
A view of the Future

• How can we realise this?

• We structure our thinking
• Move away from the hype
• We identify the obstacles
• Collective and open process
• We collaborate in solving them
• Challenge traditional practices
• Shared view of the benefits
• We validate each step
• against the agreed opportunity
• Does this really help unlock the key opportunity

The impact of the Model is that it provides a shared

On its own ... This will NOT deliver the benefits.

The impact of the requirements is that the process

on target, from concept to operation.

The impact of collaboration is to maximise the skills

Enabling Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

53
A view of the Future - Summary

• Projects
• going from napkin sketch to completion much faster than before.

• A design process that

• Facilitates 4D, 5D and 6D
• benefits from engineer, cost consultant, contractor, subcontractor,
fabricator, and end-user input early in design, .... resulting in
• more efficient use of materials
• integrated design efforts
• creativity allowed to flourish.

• And which delivers projects ...

• At lower cost
• On a tighter schedule
• With less risk of changes
• With a greater opportunity to incorporate sustainability.
• And above all, a team that truly works together for the
benefit of the project and client.
