Here at Matrix Consulting Engineers, we understand that effective communication and transparency with our clients is crucial when planning the roll-out of complicated procedures like Building Data Modelling (BIM) as set out in ISO 19650. This guide will take you, through what BIM is and how it works along with its advantages as well as why abiding by ISO 19650 standards matters for your projects.
What is BIM (Building Information Modelling)?
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. It goes beyond mere drafting or 3D modelling, BIM is the process of modeling a building on a computer prior to constructing it in physical reality. This method helps to make decisions about the building early in its conceptual stage, throughout design and construction including use operation and demolition.
The Role of ISO 19650 in BIM
This is a series of international standards that provides guidance for the management of information in relation to an asset utilising Building Information Modelling (BIM). ISO 19650 describes information and the processes for collating, managing and producing exchange to a consistent format via BIM projects.
Better Collaboration: BIM provides clients, contractors and other stakeholders a common information resource to enable more collaborative working. This mitigates any chaos, gives voice to the work and leads toward faster completion of work, creating more stable integration & migration.
Benefits of BIM in Accordance with ISO 19650 for Clients
Enhanced Collaboration: BIM facilitates better collaboration between clients, contractors, and other stakeholders by providing a shared resource of information for the facility. This leads to improved communication, fewer errors, and a more streamlined workflow.
Increased Efficiency: The use of BIM and adherence to ISO 19650 standards can significantly reduce the time and cost involved in designing and constructing buildings by identifying potential issues early in the design process.
Improved Quality: With detailed digital models, contractors can ensure that the construction complies precisely with the design, leading to higher-quality buildings.
Sustainability: BIM helps in analysing environmental impacts and supports the design of more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings by allowing simulations and analyses before construction starts.
Asset Management: After construction, the BIM model provides a detailed digital record that can be used for efficient operation and maintenance of the building.
Working With BIM and ISO 19650 Contractors
By working with contractors who use BIM in line with ISO 19650, you are joining up with teams of the highest Project Management and Information handling standard. For you to fully maximise the benefits of BIM, it is imperative that with these standards your contractors are conversant and able to work within them.
Request BIM Experience: Make sure your contractors are ISO 19650 compliant and established as qualified in executing other projects.
Clearly Communicate Your Objectives for Using BIM on your project – Bim Goals including; Collaboration, Efficiency & Data Management.
Learn the process: Know what BIM is and how it works, understand the basics so you can contribute to a conversation or decision.
Examine Information Management Plan: One of most important parts in complying with ISO 19650 is preparing an information management plan. Inspect the plan with your contractor to verify it will serve your unique project in full.
