About Building Information Modelling and BIM-MEP AUS What is BIM-MEP AUS? BIM-MEP AUS is a global leading industry initiative that strives to address many of the barriers impeding the adoption of building information modelling (BIM) and more innovative building and construction practices. What is building information modelling? Building information modelling (BIM) is predicated on the idea that a building should be constructed twice: virtually first, physically second. This requires a systematic process that enables the capture, recording, exchange and application of building and construction data using detailed models. The success of the process depends on a deliberate and structured approach to the creation and maintenance of digital information. Standardisation of pre-defined parametric data fields ensures that information about a building structure, plant, equipment and fittings is precise enough to accurately represent the physical, spatial and functional characteristics of a building. The standardisation of data also enables practices and workflows to be developed to ensure that information is shared and applied seamlessly and consistently throughout the entire design and construction process, as well as the manufacturing supply chain. Why is building information modelling so innovative? As the building transitions from the design model to the construction model, changes to the overall physical, spatial and functional characteristics of the building must be coordinated and captured. BIM allows these changes to be communicated among the key parties to a project throughout the project lifecycle. Earlier identification and resolution of issues before they reach site facilitates better service coordination and field information, with significant improvements in productivity, cost control and building performance. Exactly what benefits can be expected from BIM based project delivery? Improvements in firm productivity Reduction in reworks and material wastages Reduced costs Reduction in schedule overruns Cost reductions and improved competitiveness Improved workplace / reduced onsite conflict Better health and safety design and performance Sustainable design and operations Improved operability and energy efficiency Improved business to business relationships. How does BIM-MEP AUS help achieve these goals? To facilitate the exchange of design information and models, data must be standardised to ensure that it is representative of the physical, functional and spatial characteristics of a facility. The creation of a common set of protocols standards, specifications, practices, models and workflow guidelines ensures, not only that the data can be trusted, but that it can be continuously shared between all parties to a project whilst maintaining the integrity of the model and design. It is these challenges that the BIM-MEP AUS initiative seeks to address. Construction Innovation 2018 Forum ship and Exhibition Prospectus 18
