6. “The CIC embraces a BIM enabled world.
CIC actively encourages the Irish Construction and Built Environment Sector to continue
to take full advantage of current and emerging information and communication
technologies to remain at the forefront of the industry in Europe.
The CIC views BS1192, PAS1192 and BS8536 as important routes towards
standardised BIM implementation.”
14. Presentation title
As an industry
Very poor at .
• Coordinating changes in information during project life
• Embedding our learnings and best practice
• Early involvement - Engaging supply chain expertise at the most
appropriate stage.
• Aligning design performance with actual performance
• Managing risk at the most appropriate stage
• Attracting and retaining a high quality, diverse workforce
21. • Reductions in the number of design meetings and associated savings in cost.
• Majority of clash detection undertaken off site, avoiding costly remedial works
on site.
• Offsite fabrication was better controlled, benefiting from the clash detection
capability within the BIM model.
• Risk reduction due to the M&E services being fully co-ordinated with the
structure leading to programme benefits.
• BIM Models will be handed to the client at completion and can be developed
with use of interactive software to manage maintenance checks and
inspections
• Less snagging / less defects
• Programme certainty.
• Reduced waste and increased prefabrication
Direct Benefits from Using BIM
28. Presentation title
i. Wide stakeholder group
ii. Complex build requirement
iii. Requirements subject to high level of change through design and
construction
iv. In house knowledge - detailed knowledge & requirements
v. Seek standardisation and measurable improvement
vi. Strong external influence for change/improvement
vii. Strong link between asset and improved business outcomes
viii. Inefficient asset O&M
ix. Early adaptor of offsite construction
x. Asset use likely to change over time
Client Characteristics of an early BIM adopter – BIM
Today
31. Transition to digital:
A compelling case for the Irish Construction Industry
Key Messages
• The speed of transition will determine whether BIM adoption becomes a
Challenge or an Opportunity for Ireland
• The design and construction process is in need of improvement – Supply
Chain BIM.
• We must more carefully distinguish between Client Benefits and Benefits to
the Supply Chain of BIM
• We need a client led approach – Further explore and develop how we should
best present the benefits to clients across different sectors.
