The construction industry is rapidly formulating its BIM requirements for building component manufacturers. Due to the current situation caused by the pandemic, design firms have quickly transitioned to remote work, and project information exchange increasingly occurs through digital collaboration environments. One of the effects of working from home is the lack of access to physical samples of building products.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) Objects, or in Polish – biblioteki BIM, obiekty BIM, Rodziny BIM, komponenty BIM… all these terms are synonyms and refer to digital 3D models enhanced with metadata. It is the data, or the “I” in Information, that is crucial for BIM objects, as the content of this information determines their future usability.
The Ministry of Development, as part of the initiative: Digitization of the Construction Process in Poland, published a Roadmap for the implementation of BIM methodology in public procurement in July 2020 [1]. The document outlines the framework for introducing BIM in Poland, particularly concerning legislation and the public procurement system. The implementation is planned for the years 2021 – 2030.
Preparing construction designs and submitting them to Offices in electronic form? What until recently seemed like science fiction is slowly becoming a reality. For now, it is in the form of changes in existing regulations, and the coming months will verify how well the offices will handle the new way of communication and documentation approval
In previous posts of the Agile BIM series, we introduced the basics of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Agile management methods, along with translating Agile principles into the BIM language. There are already initial investments that successfully combine the informational order provided by BIM with the agility offered by Agile. An example of this is the El Camino Medical Group Hospital Campus Project in Mountain View, California.
In previous posts from the Agile BIM series, we introduced the basics of Agile management methods and Building Information Modeling (BIM), with particular emphasis on the Common Data Environment (CDE), as it is the key to BIM agility. In this post, we will attempt to translate Agile principles into BIM principles.
In previous posts from the Agile BIM series, we discussed the reasons for low productivity in the construction industry and British ideas for overcoming it. One of the many proposed solutions is implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology, which primarily aims to streamline communication, collection, exchange, and access to information. In this post, we will introduce the concept of Agile management methods, and in the following ones, we will translate Agile principles into BIM language.
In previous posts, we discussed the reasons for low productivity in the construction industry and ideas to overcome it. We wrote about the British approach to BIM, data exchange platforms (CDE), and our understanding of BIM. In this post, I want to address the limitations in utilizing BIM potential that appear in traditionally managed construction projects (understood not as technical projects, but as investment tasks).
BIM has been a buzzword recently, but it is often understood in different ways. Sometimes, it is seen as simply 3D modeling. While the 3D model is an important part of BIM, it is not the only element. Just like wheels are a crucial part of a car but not the car itself—you can't drive without them, but you also can't drive without the rest of the car.
