Speaker: Peter Barker, BIM Academy -O&M and facility management -Asset management About the Qatar BIM User Day: Qatar University, HOCHTIEF ViCon and Teesside University proudly take the initiative to facilitate modern and innovative methods in the Gulf construction industry. The focus is Building Information Modeling (BIM), and our aim is to establish a knowledge platform with government, research and industry experts. The User Day aims to help people to share knowledge, discuss new technologies, and identify new potentials for BIM. More information: www.bimuserday.com Follow BUD on Twitter @bimuserday

11. Estates remodelling - BIM enabled
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.

13. Facilities management- BIM enabled
Model based or linked data available to support downstream use for facilities management

14. Facilities management – legacy data

15. Data structure and terminology
When data is inconsistently formatted, we limit the capabilities of BIM software
Peter Barker

16. 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
Peter Barker

17. Early planning of data structures to be consistent, comprehensive and appropriate
17

18. A need for standardised object libraries – The National BIM Library
Peter Barker

19. National BIM Library - scope and classification from industry practice, existing
guidance and emerging precedents (eg COBie)

20. Data can be exchanged using the IFC Schema
Efficient / Consistent information
Automated Quality Assurance
IFC provides one source of information which can be automatically checked and reduces scope for human error

21. BIM Execution Planning
Project Goals, BIM Uses and Capabilities
Roles and Responsibilities
BIM Process Design
Data structure and terminology
Model breakdown
Element LOD and Responsibilities
Cost and FM Requirements
Collaboration Procedures
Quality Control
Technological Infrastructure Needs
Model Standards and Guidelines

22. 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
