Building Information Modelling (BIM)
A collaborative way of working underpinned by digital technologies. These technologies allow for more efficient
methods of designing, delivering and maintaining physical built assets throughout their entire lifecycle.

Contracts
OIR
The Organisational
Information Requirements
(OIR) assesses people,
processes and systems that
affects BIM adoption.
AIR
The Asset Information
Requirements (AIR)
developed from the OIR
is an asset management
strategy that informs the EIR.
EIR
The Employer's Information
Requirements document
sets out what information
(Technical, Commercial and
Management.) the client
requires, so service teams
know what to deliver without
excessive information.
Collaboration
BEP
The BIM Execution Plan
document is created, shared
and agreed by the project
team including team roles
and responsibilities, formats
and conventions for the
project.
MIDP
Fed from the BEP, the
Master Information Delivery
Plan communicates what
information is needed,
timescales and who delivers
the information.
BIM Protocol
A supplementary legal
agreement incorporated
into professional services
appointments and
construction contracts.
Standards
BS 1192-2 (2007) Overview
A consistent industry wide framework for collaborative
working and information management. This provides
the benchmark for file-naming conventions.
PAS 1192-2 (2013) Delivery
PAS 1192-2 builds on British Standard BS 1192:2007 by
providing the framework of information management
requirements. The PAS aims to ensure that building
information can be used and re-used throughout the
lifecycle of an asset.
PAS 1192-3 (2014) Asset Management
Specification for information management for the
operational phase of assets using building information
modelling.
BS 1192-4: (2014) CoBie output
Collaborative production of information fulfilling
employers information exchange requirements using
COBie Code of Practice.
PAS 1192-5 (2015) Security
Specifies the processes that will assist organisations
in identifying and implementing appropriate and
proportionate measures to reduce the risk of loss or
disclosure of information which could impact on the
safety and security.

CDE (Common Data Environment) GSL - Government Soft Landings

This is a server, extranet or cloud based system which is A key part of Level 2 to encourage early engagement
accessible by all members of the project team on which of end-users with a strong focus on commissioning,
is stored specifications, schedules, cost plans, drawings handover and training.
and programmes.

Federated Model
Used from Level 2 onwards, the model is a composite
model developed between disciplines. Clash detection
is the key benefit i.e. testing and validation of models
(architect, structural, MEP etc.) against each other to
avoid clashes i.e. pipes and structural beams.
4D BIM (Construction Simulation)
Schedule data added to a 3D model generating
accurate programme information and having staged
visuals of the project development. This enables
detection of problems early, avoiding economic losses
and wasted time in execution progress.
Uniclass Classification
Uniclass 2015 is a unified UK classification of items of all
scale from a facility such as a railway down through to
products such as a CCTV camera in a railway station.
NBS Digital Plan of Works
Enabling an employer to define the deliverables
required at each stage of a construction project from
developing the strategy through to managing the
asset - updated over time. and made available to all
participants.

Point Cloud Conversion (Scan to BIM)

We can help you with all these areas of BIM and
Point cloud data obtained from lazer scans of assets
can be converted into useful 3D models to enable more. Stay fully informed with BIM updates email
