Is there life after BIM 1 Stuff we have to do anyway... and how does it work right now 2 What our customers really want 3 So, solutions then?
Deep down we believe that the problem, put simply, is THEM. They, of course, believe WE are the problem. – Anon
The stuff we have to do now... and how it really works.
The stuff we have to do now... • The health and safety file • The building logbook • The operations and maintenance (OM) manual • Commissioning • Snags, defects, etc • ‘Aftercare’

The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price has faded. – Aldo Gucci

Government as a client can derive significant improvements in cost, value and carbon performance through the use of open shareable asset information.

– Cabinet Office
“
To secure value from a construction investment clients are demanding buildings that perform, i.e. they are delivered when expected and to budget, they work from the day of handover and the costs of ownership are accurately predicted.

Coming to a project near you soon... GSL key features • Designed to reduce cost and improve performance • All departments will appoint a GSL Lead • Post operational evaluation • BIM will be used as a data management tool
Key areas of focus for GSL (or what we will be measured on - using BIM as a data tool) • Environment • Functionality and effectiveness • Financial • Commissioning, testing and handover • Facilities Management • COBie to CAFM data transfer • Contract implications

Do what you do so well that the customer will want to see it again and bring all their friends. – Walt Disney

Isn’t COBie the answer? • Is this really what your clients need? • What do you think they will do with it? • Limited snapshot and a one way data transfer • Too much, too late - will it be GIGO…and will it be
...same old, same old?
So what do we actually need then? •People change – develop a different culture in construction, and the talent to implement it •Process change – best practice and contractual frameworks join up •Technology change – develop a proper end-to-end solution and the know-how to deliver it
Your gift to the customer... • Make better decisions • Improve predictability • Reduce risks • Better buildings = better business

Coming together is a beginning. Staying together is progress. Working together is success. – Henry Ford
Solutions
A better way to build better buildings • Demolish the silos - work together and remove barriers - challenge the norm • Maintain momentum • Most important… - customer outcome focussed - collaborative, team approach - early involvement of delivery and FM teams
COBie to CAFM • A tri-partite R&D project - BAM, FSI and Autodesk • Our objective was simple - to create an automated data exchange - including building, location and asset data BIM - supplemented by BIM 360 Field, FSI’s concept evolution CAFM system
COBie to CAFM - the process
Results and next step • Results - BIM to CAFM auto data proof of concept achieved - Very few ‘errors’ in the data transfer • Next steps - Refine data classification and mapping across the BIM lifecycle - Deploy into live operations at all stages of the building lifecycle • Lessons learned document to be published soon
Does your culture enable you? •Creativity •Collaboration •Customer focus
