2. Overview
1. Building Information Modelling
2. BIM strategy and implementation
3. Conclusion

3. Tudor’s team and partnership
Construction Program@CRP Henri Tudor: our
competencies
• Business “experts” (Architects, Civil Engineer / Dr.,
PhD students)
• IT scientists
• Appropriation, networking, IPR
Our team is historically involved in CRTI-B
innovation projects
• Standardization of electronic collaboration
Today Tudor is co-animator of the NeoBuild
innovation pole
• Series of BIM workshops

4. Building Information Modelling

5. … Not a technology or software system
… Not a single-discipline model
BIM is reliable data about a facility
What is BIM?

Multi-dimensions and enrichment of information

7. Building Information Modelling
Succar, 2009
Modelling Facility-related
Production and
usage processes
Collective process

8. Building Information
Modelling
Industry-driven research challenge
• Huge cost of lack of interoperability between
software systems in design/construction
• Cost of uninformed decision making in Facility
Management
• “Facility-related Data” as an economical and
innovation driver
BIM & BIM
• Building Information Model
• Knowing its building & assets to optimize property
management (asbestos cement areas, lift maintenance,
security, taxes,
• R&D challenge of describing building-related concepts
• Building Information Modeling
• A collaborative design/construction/use process
BIM is a reality in several regions
• USA, Finland, UK, Singapore, Canada…
• January 2014: EC decision to recommend BIM for
public construction procurement across Europe

9. BIM Maturity
Maturity of organizations regarding BIM
• Company level: object-based modeling
• Project level: information exchange
processes based on models
• Sectorial level: a global view, linked to
public (procurement) policies

10. BIM implementation

11. Identify BIM goals and uses
According to an organization’s own goals
• With level of importance
Within a list of BIM uses
• Identified through case studies
• Approved by practitioners

12. Design BIM project execution process
Reference process(es) for BIM execution planning
• Activities perfomed
• Information exchanged
Template from BIM Project Execution Planning Guide Version 2.1
Pennstate University - CIC

13. Developing information exchanges (IE)
It requires to identify:
• The model receiver: project team members that will receive the IE
• The model file type: define the software used to manipule the IE
• The level of detail (LoD) of the IE
• The responsible actor authoring the information
Then it is necessary to verify the matching between authored
information and requested information

15. Technological implementation
Exchange formats to be
used
• Test of exchanges between
software systems
• Customization of export/
import
Technological
infrastructure needs
• In terms of software and
hardware
• Authoring/review/
collaboration
Quality Controls
• Checking methods

16. Conclusion

17. Some remarks
BIM strategy
• Owner requirements
• Required data for asset management
• Requirement regarding project management
and decision-making through BIM
• BIM project organization
BIM Implementation
• Design/construction/consultancy teams
should be deeply involved
• Taking into account the maturity of
organizations involved
• Structured, time-consuming process
Contractual issues
• Legal value of BIM data vs. usual
documentation
• Liability for BIM data
