We are hearing
so much in the past years of the importance of the technology in every aspect.
And this is not by a coincidence. Some people had an idea about this long time
ago, but today their predictions became reality. Today, the United Kingdom
Construction Industry stands proudly over a cup of the new time, the age of
digital design, also known as BID- a Building Information Modeling.
According to the
Government of the UK, BIM refers to a value creating collaboration that is
found along the whole life circle of the assets, underpinned by collocation,
creation and the exchange of the modern 3D models, adding intelligent and
structured data information into them. Simply said, it is a sociotechnical
process that lies on a supportive technological base, linked with social
components from the surrounding.
Implementing the
Building Information Modeling is actually a great thing for all the investors
since due to the capability of the governmental departments to electronically
validate the BIM information; thousands of pounds will be saved.
You probably
have heard about the Systech International, a company that is offering support
of many commercial, procedural and contractual issues to their contractors
throughout the whole project delivery process. As they are keeping up with
everything, BIM is nothing new they cannot handle. The specialized team they
have is ready to answer all the concerns their clients have regarding this
question. And having in mind that the mandatory BIM is completely introduced in
the Government's projects, it is understandable that there will be some
inconvenience. Therefore, Systech International's team is ready to provide
their favors regarding the following things
- will help you
become familiar with Level 2 BIM
-will make you
be aware of the BIM protocol
- will teach you
how this protocol will have influence over your project procedures
-will make you
understand your collaboration obligation
- will help you
become aware of the intellectual property, ownership, and copyright of the
issues
- will inform
you that you need to find and BIM Information manager as a part of the team of
the project and what are the procedures regarding that person
According to
Paschal Walsh, the commercial director of Systech International, BIM is
offering many benefits to the contractors such as providing working from the
same data, the possibility to evaluate the proposals, the 3D modeling that
helps to eliminate the errors, the improvement of the assets management and
others. But, as anywhere, when introducing a new protocol there probably will
flow up some problems. Here as problems are showing up the lack of the
compatible systems, protocol, and standards since there are different
requirements for the employers, contractors and the designers. That is the
reason of introducing the BIM Level 2 that requires a managed 3D environment to
be held in separate digital tools, along with data attached in a common file.
The documents needed for this protocol are nine, from which as the most
importance is the CIC BIM protocol, who is actually a legal agreement, who is
creating additional duties, obligations and rights for the employer,
contractor, and the designer. Due to the issues that are flowing from the
implementation of BIM, the Government has set a final date for developing a BIM
3, that should have the capability to electronically validate the information
from the protocol and help to save assets and unnecessary costs and most
importantly, allow the UK to maintain the world’s leadership position in
digital construction.
