UNIT 14 Building Information Modelling - Pearson Higher Nationals in Construction and the Built Environment

Assignment - BIM: Assets, Processes and Outcomes

Learning Outcome 1: Discuss the differences in purpose between Building Information Modelling and its associated outcomes and traditional forms of construction information.

Learning Outcome 2: Assess ways in which the design and construction process of an asset influences the way that asset is managed and maintained.

The scenario -

In this assignment, assume that the company you currently work for rely on ‘traditional' methods of project design. They are considering the move to a BIM-enabled design process and need to understand the implications in terms of:

- collaborative working across design, construction and facilities management teams,

- expanding their staff and training to manage the transition to and ongoing running of BIM-enabled projects, and

- creating a BIM Execution Plan which will be used for all future projects.

Your response should include the following information:

- An explanation of the differences between a traditional and BIM-enabled processes and a discussion of collaborative working.

- An explanation and evaluation of information created and roles required.

- An analysis of how BIM informs project outcomes and how information is used.

- An assessment of how a BIM-enabled process can result in positive outcomes.
