Beschreibung

ePart 4: Building up a BIM Support Infrastructure: Addressing the ‘back of house’ aspect of BIM Management, this ePart outlines how to go about developing a range of in-house BIM standards and guidelines. It highlights how BIM Managers go about establishing a training programme for staff and the setting up and management of an organisation’s BIM content library. It covers the support needed to move BIM information into the field and further into facilities and asset management. It emphasises the importance of internal messaging, and articulating how to nurture a culture of peer-to peer support and advancement of skills by individual staff members. Looking beyond a single firm’s or organisation’s requirements, the ePart positions BIM support infrastructure in the wider context of key global BIM policies and guidelines.

BUILDING UP A BIM SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

Developing a support infrastructure that enables others to implement BIM is at the very core of the BIM Manager's role. Though a solid grasp of technology provides an essential vehicle for actualization, the framework can only be established through a well-formulated strategy for change. Ultimately, a well-articulated BIM support infrastructure has the potential to go beyond the merely operational and empower those who work with BIM to excel at what they do.

Helping others to adopt BIM is a multifaceted task. Next to technology savviness, it requires in-depth knowledge about a broad range of standards, policies, procedures, and workarounds. Consolidating this knowledge into easily digestible guidelines, tutorials, and other forms of support material and propagating this material among colleagues is a BIM Manager's art to master. This ePart explains how BIM Managers develop BIM Standards and other guidelines, structure their BIM Libraries, set up and advance BIM Execution Plans, flesh out BIM Capability Statements, and put together a well-considered BIM training program. This section also explores how BIM Managers grow their in-house BIM support infrastructure and disseminate their knowledge to facilitate peer-to-peer support.

Propagating BIM

The first ePart about Best Practice BIM explained why it is most probable that over time BIM will become an integral part of project delivery. There will be less and less need to differentiate between those delivering projects and those supporting them using BIM. In order to reach this goal, BIM Managers have an obligation to advance their colleagues' BIM skills and to assist them in boosting productivity within their organization using BIM. When doing so, they do not need to start from scratch. A number of industry groups around the world have developed support material to engage with this task. These include the United Kingdom's RIBA Digital Plan of Work together with the NBS BIM toolkit, the Singapore BCA's BIM Guide and buildingSMART Finland's COBIM (Common BIM Requirement 2012)—just to name a few. BIM Managers have a responsibility to act as a conduit for top-down information/requirements to be aligned with in-house modeling and coordination processes by staff.

In order to get their support right and to achieve higher productivity, BIM Managers monitor and review national policies and specifications, guidance documents, contract forms, latest tool releases, market movements, and much more. Based on those inputs, BIM Managers bring these outside influences into context with an organization's desired BIM capability and establish pathways for change. Lee Wyles, Project Technology Manager at BDP—one of the United Kingdom's leading multidisciplinary consultancy firms—explains it this way: “We started implementing a mandate to regulate workflows and we provide clear roadmaps of how Design Technology and BIM are to be implemented.”
