What are different levels of BIM?

What are different levels of BIM?

There are a number of ‘levels of maturity’ of BIM: Level 0 describes unmanaged CAD (Computer Aided Design). Level 1 describes managed CAD in 2D or 3D. Level 2 involves developing building information in a collaborative 3D environment with data attached, but created in separate discipline models.

What level of BIM should we be aiming to achieve on a project at present?

All parties can combine their data and collaborate through the common data environment. All public projects are now required to meet BIM level 2.

What does Level 3 of BIM include and or help with?

BIM Level 3 allows data to be transactable for construction, fabrication, and even facility management purposes, enabling open collaboration and building lifecycle management.

What are the BIM processes?

BIM is a process for creating and managing information on a construction project throughout its whole life cycle. As part of this process, a coordinated digital description of every aspect of the built asset is developed, using a set of appropriate technology.

What is a Level 2 BIM?

Level 2 BIM is distinguished by collaborative working, and requires “an information exchange process which is specific to that project and coordinated between various systems and project participants” (Source: Scottish Futures Trust).

Is BIM Level 2 still relevant?

Up until now, BIM Level 2 has been used extensively in UK procurement and other industry documentation, and an appropriate “descriptor” for the overall concepts and principles is still required. BSI, CDBB and UK BIM Alliance have proposed the “UK BIM Framework” to replace the “BIM Level 2” notation.

Does BIM Level 2 still exist?

Is BIM modeling hard?

Is BIM too complicated? BIM requires some training and changes the way you do things, but if you invest in BIM you upgrade your office to deliver projects faster and easier.

What is Level 2 BIM Maturity?

Level 2 BIM Managed 3D environment with data attached, but created in separate discipline-based models. These separate models are assembled to form a federated model, but do not lose their identity or integrity. Data may include construction sequencing (4D) and cost (5D) information.

What is BIM Level 2 standard?

BIM Level 2 also includes a standard called PAS 1192-5 which covers all of the security considerations for safely sharing project data which relates to the project and the client. You will, therefore, need controls in place to ensure information is being shared in a secure way.

What are the BIM Level 2 deliverables?

For Level 2 BIM, the standard deliverables that a contractor would be expected to produce include: Compliance with Employers Information Requirements (EIR) BIM Execution Plan (BEP) Common Data Environment (CDE) BS (PAS) 1192 – Parts 1 to 5 Classification (through Uniclass 2015) Digital Plan of Work (describing Level of Detail – LoD / CIC Work Stages) Intelligent 3D libraries Intelligent 3D models 3D based collaboration 3D digital survey

What are BIM standards?

The National BIM Standard-United States™ (NBIMS-US™) provides consensus based standards through referencing existing standards, documenting information exchanges and delivering best business practices for the entire built environment.

What are the various dimensions of BIM?

The Dimensions of BIM Explained BIM dimensions (3D, 4D, 5D, 6D & 7D) refer to the type of information and the way in which that information is presented in a BIM model. These dimensions enhance the data associated with a model to increase understanding and clarity on a construction project.
