Building
Information Modelling (BIM) is not a new
phenomenon. Its adoption is however slowly
starting to gather pace as the 2016 Government compliancy due date draws
closer. By 2016, Government procured constuction builds / projects will require
BIM level 2. This is going to be a real
game changer as it is the first truly global digital construction technology
and will soon be deployed globally.
Whilst
smaller SME’s see this as an industry challenge, some larger contractors are
recognising the business benefits that BIM represents to the company as a
whole. Recognisng that BIM know-how can accelerate their position and help to maintain
a competitive advantage in the market place. Having the know-how means having
the right people and talent in place to ensure BIM benefits are fully realised
throughout the company.
BIM
should not be seen as only a technical requirement but a whole new approach to
working both in terms of people and
processes. Whilst on face value data appears to be the key driver, it
essentially translates into collaborative working across multi disciplines. Any change should be core to the company and it
is skilled Project Managers that are needed
to create capable project conditions ready for the use of BIM.
It
is clear that people are going to be central to the successful implementation
of BIM processes and as more companies realise the company benefits of BIM there will be
added focus on recruitment of the right people both to fulfill permanent
positions and for short term help though the engagement of Interim Executives.
BIM
is still not common practice within the
industry but businesses in the sector should not run the risk of being left behind.
