The five components of BIM

7Gunnar Godawa – HOCHTIEF ViCon
BIM Implementation
Define BIM standards and
business processes
• Analyse project requirements
• Define roles and responsibilities
• Develop and roll out BIM
implementation plans
• Develop BIM standards and
processes
BIM Management
Supervise and support BIM
within the project team
• Manage and support BIM usage
• Support the contract letting process
• Organise BIM education
• Create BIM performance reports
BIM Services
Create 3D Models, add
project information and
provide data analysis
• Supply BIM applications
(e.g. 3d model, clash detection,
3D+time etc.)
• Manage BIM software and
hardware
• Quality control of BIM applications
Implementation and Management Strategy
A structured approach

Implementation and Management Strategy
The BIM Manager
• Overviews process execution and
standards application
• Ensures a life-cycle approach
• Gets all stakeholders involved
• Encourages a top-down strategy
• Collect relevant asset data
• Organizes training for all
stakeholders
• Measures project performance
independently
