BSRIA’s BIM roadmap guide
BSRIA’s latest ‘BIM roadmap’ guide provides a method for an organisation to chart or map its corporate BIM strategy to meet the level 2 requirement of the Government via a number of clear stages or layers. This guide expands on the approach that is already in use by Government departments involved in the current 2016 BIM and GSL mandate by exploring the stages in detail and putting them into control.
There are three distinct layers of the roadmap.
• Layer 1: Industry practices — the roadmap ‘datum’.
• Layer 2: Corporate/strategic practices — client processes.
• Layer 3: Project/particular/ local practices — client roles and supply-chain responses.
The guide initially focuses on BIM engagement via new-build construction projects. It then moves on to look at the wider aspects of BIM uses as a process tool for managing live asset portfolios, where individual constructions projects are simply parts.
It is aimed at those who are responsible for developing a BIM strategy within a building-owner organisation. It can also serve as a useful guide to BIM for all those involved with BIM projects and for those who may be taking over assets provided using BIM processes.
The guide puts all the concepts and documents such as PAS 1192-2 into a common framework to help demonstrate relationships — where they are and how they relate to one another and to wider industry practice.
