Assembling a Collaborative Project Team
Plain language questions
BIM creates the potential for more information to be generated on a project. The
purpose of the plain language questions is to enable the client to set out those
questions that identify the minimum information which must be exchanged at a
given stage in order to respond to their queries. This information will increase at
each stage. By identifying the client’s minimum requirements, the project team
would have to justify the need to create additional information beyond this.
COBie-UK-2012
While BSRIA’s Design Framework for Building Services 3rd edition (see below)
brings clarity regarding the level of drawn detail at each stage, COBie begins to
resolve the issue of the data content of a Building Information Model (BIM) at
each stage. The game-changing consideration is that COBie detail will be used
within a computer aided facilities management (CAFM) system during the life of
the building. The incremental development of the data within the BIM model is
therefore biased towards in-use functions rather than predicated on its use for
construction purposes. The UK Government currently advocates COBie
deliverables for its projects.
Government Soft Landings
The Government’s own Soft Landings document aims to build on BSRIA’s
Soft Landings work (see page 101), considering items of particular interest
to the UK Government, including operational asset management and greater
use of outcome-based specifications set against clear performance criteria.
British Standards Institution (BSI): www.bsigroup.co.uk
BSI produces British Standards under the authority of a Royal Charter. While
many practices will use and refer to British Standards during the development of
a design, particularly in relation to the specification aspects, very few standards
are widely used in relation to design management or processes related to
construction. The following standards are being supported by the UK
Government’s initiatives:
•
BS 1192:2007 Collaborative production of architectural, engineering and
construction information – Code of practice – a code of practice that sets out
the process for the collaborative production of architectural and engineering
construction information.
•
Building Information Management. A Standard Framework and Guide to BS
1192 – this book is a guide to BS 1192:2007.
•
PAS 1192-2:2013 Specification for information management for the capital/
delivery phase of construction projects using building information modelling
– this document builds on the existing code of practice for the collaborative
production of architectural, engineering and construction information that is
defined within BS 1192:2007. It focuses specifically on the project delivery
