Fred Mills explains what a BIM model is – and what it is not – in this easily
digestible 3 minute video! “Whatever your role in the construction industry,
you’ve probably heard people talking about BIM models” he acknowledges.
“The acronym BIM stands for Building Information Modelling. That’s a process
and a way of working, not a physical object or an entity”.
He concludes with a simple call to action: “If you know someone who’s still
doing it the old way… share this video with them”.

WHEN creating an information model as part of the BIM process, you wouldn’t
expect to have all your data collated right from day one of a project… would
you? In this short video, we explain how Levels of Definition clarify the
amounts of data that need to be available at each stage of a project.
It’s important that the expected minimum levels of definition for each work
stage are made clear from the outset of a project before you start in the BIM
Execution Plan (BIM EP) and Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP), as
indicated within the Information Delivery Cycle diagram in PAS 1192-2. That
will ensure that the right data is available, to the right people, at the right
time to support decision making.

PAS 1192-2
PAS 1192-2 explained in 5 minutes! PAS 1192-2 provides the framework for
collaborative working and information management in a BIM Level 2
environment. This animation brings the guidance to life and explains the key
principles and process map in just 5 minutes.
This approach does not require more work, as this information has always
been required to be produced. However, true collaborative working requires
mutual understanding and trust within the team and a deeper level of
standardised process than has previously been experienced, if the information
is to be produced and delivered in a consistent timely manner. The benefits of
working in this way can include fewer delays and disputes within the team,
better management of project risk and better understanding of where costs
are being incurred.

Basic problems exist with procuring public assets, which have been known for
over 100 years, but little as yet has been achieved in resolving them.
It was envisaged that the advent of Computer Aided Design (CAD) solutions
had the potential to improve the consistency of information, but at best it has
only served to perpetuate the problem.
The green elements represent the information delivery process known as the
common data environment (CDE).
PAS 1192-3 offers guidance on the use and maintenance of the asset
information model (AIM) to support the planned preventative maintenance
programme and the portfolio management activity for the life of the asset.

PAS 1192-3
“Most people that build, own or buy buildings aren’t doing it for fun; they’re
doing it to support a desired outcome” explains Fred Mills, Co-Founder of The
B1M and presenter of PAS 1192-3 in 4 Minutes, an easily digestible video all
about the UK’s guidance document for managing and operating built assets
using BIM.
Such events are termed ‘non-consequential triggers’ but that basically means
that they are things which could happen in any order. Each time one occurs,
the ‘asset information model’ – the data set about the building – will need to
be updated. That builds a detailed profile enabling users to properly
understand their built environment.
“It’s just about getting a better, digital grasp of your building” explains Fred.
“Collecting information on performance and usage and storing it in one
shared space that the right people can access at the right time, to be able to
make the right decisions about running your asset”.
You can apply PAS 1192-3 to the asset management phase of any building
regardless of whether it was commissioned by you, acquired by you or is
already in your ownership.
