The ISO 19650 series is a multi-part standard that provides a framework for information management in the construction industry. I rely on its provisions daily in my role as a BIM Manager—defining information requirements, adhering to CDE principles, checking the quality of outputs from delivery teams, and more. The guidelines within the standard enhance collaboration […]
Why is it worth implementing BIM? The modern construction industry faces challenges that require thoughtful approaches and the adoption of advanced technologies. Increasing pressure for efficiency, rising costs, and the need for sustainable development are pushing traditional methods to the limit. One of the most critical solutions forming the foundation of modern construction is BIM (Building Information Modeling). This article discusses the key reasons why BIM implementation is becoming a necessity for both companies and individuals developing in this field.
To answer the question "What is BIM?", it's helpful to look at examples from developed economies that have taken a step further. This gives an idea of the direction of development of the construction industry a few years after the introduction of the obligation to use the BIM methodology. The goal is to make this industry more data-driven and focused on the entire asset lifecycle.
In the construction industry, projects continue to grow in complexity and scale. In such an environment, information management plays a crucial role, ensuring high quality and efficiency in information processes. The multipart standard ISO 19650, as an international standard for managing information throughout the lifecycle of a construction project using Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology, can significantly help achieve these goals.
Standardization in the Construction Industry Adopting standards, regardless of the industry, creates frameworks and predictability for various processes. As a result, this reduces the need for different organizations to invent their own solutions to common problems. By implementing Lean thinking, we eliminate waste. Moreover, standards that support BIM delivery play a crucial role in achieving […]
Each of us lives in our own information bubble. This means that individual opinions can often be distorted by the people we surround ourselves with at work. In our free time and on social media. So I decided to ask the source of collective knowledge (ChatGPT) how advanced BIM implementation is in Poland, to get a more objective answer.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is constantly evolving, and the new standard BS EN ISO 22014:2024, published by the British Standards Institution (BSI), introduces key changes to the management of BIM objects. This standard specifies requirements for the creation, management and use of BIM objects, or digital representations of building components. This aims to increase the efficiency and quality of this form of product specification. Discover the new BIM Objects Standard 2024: Enhancing data quality, interoperability, and digital twin integration in construction.
The thirteenth and final part of the series "BIM for Sustainable Development", where we look at how BIM can effectively support ESG and SDG goals (#UN17). In this post, we will focus on SDG goal no. 13 and the question whether BIM can realistically combat climate change and its effects? The post "BIM against climate change" is a summary of the entire series. Discover how BIM combats climate change by enhancing energy efficiency and sustainable construction practices.
The twelfth part of the series "BIM for Sustainability", where we look at how BIM can effectively support ESG and SDG goals (#UN17). In this post, we will focus on SDG goal 12 and the question whether and how BIM can contribute to sustainable consumption and production? Learn how BIM supports SDG 12 by promoting sustainable consumption and production in the construction industry.
