【BIM】CCBM 學習筆記 (Part 2) - 建築資訊模型 Building information modeling (BIM) - Collaboration + Integration, CDE Concept, Digital Info Management, Software

LOIN 或 "資訊需求級別"(Level of Information Need)是一個框架,用於將 BIM 項目中與幾何、信息和文檔相關的要求進行分組。它提供了一種結構化的方法來定義模型元素的細節、尺寸、位置、外觀、參數行為、準確性和可靠性。通過了解 LOIN,團隊可以溝通並自動檢查這些要求,從而實現更高效的協作和項目交付。


Level of Detail (LoD)

  • PAS 1192-2 (BS EN ISO 19650) Concept of level of definition:
    • Level of model detail: the description of graphical content of models at each of the stages
    • Level of model information: the description of non-graphical content of models at each stages defines
      • LOD 100 (Concept), 
      • LOD 200 (Design Development)
      • LOD 300 (Documentation)
      • LOD 400 (Construction)
      • LOD 500 (Facilities management)

  • Level of Detail is essentially how much detail is included in the model element.
  • LOD is the completeness of information
  • LOD = get appropriate information at appropriate time

Level of Information Need (LOIN)
  • Concept of Level of Information Need (LOIN): Collective term used to describe model elements (NOT models as a whole), including ‘LOD-G’, ‘LOD-I’ and 'DOC’
    • Level of Graphics (LOD-G): description of graphical content of objects at each stage
    • Level of Information (LOD-I): description of properties of objects at each stage defines
    • Level of Documentation (DOC): description of documentation associated with specific BIM uses.
    • CIC BIM Standards Page 44 Section 2.6.2, 2.6.3, 2.6.4




Common Data Environment (CDE)

Working within a single environment; Provision of a single environment to store shared asset data and information, accessible to all individuals who are required to produce, use and maintain it.

在一個單一的環境中工作;提供一個單一的環境來存儲共享的資產數據和信息,所有需要制作、使用和維護這些數據和信息的人都可以訪問這些數據和信息。

Definitions:
  • This is a repository, for example, a project extranet or electronic document.
  • A suitable information hierarchy should be agreed.
  • Single source of information for any given project
  • Used to collect, manage and disseminate all relevant approved project documents for multi-disciplinary teams in a managed process.
  • A CDE may use a project server, an extranet, a file-based retrieval system or other suitable toolset.
  • A central repository where construction project information is housed
  • The contents of the CDE are not limited to assets created in a ‘BIM environment’. (唔一定只用做BIM應用)
  • Include documentation, graphical model and non-graphical assets.
  • In using a single source of information collaboration between project members should be enhanced, mistakes reduced and duplication avoided.

CDE Structure
  • Information Container-based Collaborative Working
  • providing a collaborative environment for sharing work and can be implemented in a number of ways
    • Work in progress
    • Client shared area
    • Published documentation
    • Archive

Benefits of a CDE

【BIM】CCBM 學習筆記 (Part 1) - 建築資訊模型 Building information modeling (BIM) - BIM Initiation, Concept, Standards, Info Management

建築資訊模型(Building Information Modeling,簡稱BIM)是建築學、工程學及土木工程的新工具,被定義成由完全和充足資訊構成以支援新產品開發管理,並可由電腦應用程式直接解釋的建築或建築工程資訊模型。 簡言之,即數位技術支撐的對建築環境的生命週期管理。 它是建築過程的數位展示方式來協助數位資訊交流及合作。


Digitalisation (數字化) vs Digitisation (數碼化)
  • 數字化(Digitalisation)是利用數字改善業務流程的過程。(更重要)
  • 數碼化(Digitisation)是將信息從物理格式轉換為數字格式的過程。


Digital Document vs Digital Information
  • Information enriches a document. Document contains many information.
  • Document contains production process and periodicity. Information doesn’t contain these contents.

為什麽建造業需要數字化? 建造業面臨的挑戰
  • 覆雜性/規模 Complexity / Scale
  • 工期緊張 Tight Programme
  • 技術要求高 Technical Demanding
  • 團隊龐大 Large Team
  • 海量信息 Vast amount of information
  • 數據驅動決策 Data-Driven Decision Making

BIM Concept
  • BIM is a journey (Process), not a destination (End-product).

BIM Value (From PAS 1192): Project Information Model (PIM) + Asset Information Model (AIM)

Process:
信息管理 (Information management) -> 協同工作 (Collaborative working) -> 圖形和數據模型 (Graphical and data models ) -> 資產數據 (Asset data)

BIM的價值:
  • 增強協作:BIM促進了項目各方之間的無縫協作。它整合了建築、結構和MEP(機械、電氣、管道)模型,使團隊能夠高效協同工作。
  • 改善決策:BIM提供了項目的整體視圖,有助於在整個生命周期內做出明智的決策。從設計到施工和維護,利益相關者可以分析數據並優化流程。
  • 成本和時間效率:BIM減少了返工,減少了沖突,並優化了施工流程。它有助於準確估算成本並增強項目進度安排。
  • 視覺呈現:BIM生成3D模型,使客戶、承包商和設計師更容易地可視化最終產品。
BIM的局限性:
  • 覆雜的實施:采用BIM需要轉變思維方式和工作流程。組織必須投資於培訓、軟件和硬件升級。
  • 數據質量和一致性:BIM依賴於準確的數據。不完整或不一致的信息可能導致錯誤。
  • 互操作性挑戰:在不同軟件平台之間集成BIM模型可能具有挑戰性。標準化至關重要。
  • 法律和合同問題:BIM合同需要明確定義責任、知識產權和責任。
BIM的挑戰:
  • 交易性業務流程演變:BIM顛覆了傳統工作流程。組織必須調整其流程,以有效利用BIM。
  • 數字設計信息的可計算性:確保各種BIM工具和平台之間無縫數據交換仍然是一個挑戰。
  • 有意義的數據互操作性:BIM模型應與其他系統(例如設施管理軟件)無縫通信。
  • 客戶需求和認知:雖然大型項目采用了BIM,但較小的項目通常缺乏客戶對其實施的需求 。
未來十年BIM的展望:
  • 廣泛采用:BIM將成為全球標準實踐,受到政府法規、行業認知和技術進步的推動。
  • 高級人工智能整合:BIM將融合人工智能,用於預測分析、優化和自動化決策。

  • Stage 1 - Brief - The How? - EIR
  • Stage 2 - Early design benefits and coordination - PIR
  • Stage 3 - Develop design/review BIM (PIM), better understanding of project
  • Stage 4 - Tech design materials and construction coordination
  • Stage 5 - Construction progress. Info gathering. Record progress
  • Stage 6 - Review BIM (AIM): client review as built
  • Stage 7 - Occupancy data. Collate info intelligently


Limitations of BIM Software

Industry Foundation Class (IFC) 
  • are the open and neutral data format for openBIM.
  • sharing information between different project team members and across software applications that are commonly used for design, construction, procurement, maintenance and operations.
  • registered by ISO as ISO/PAS 16739 and is currently in the process of becoming an official International Standard ISO/IS 16739. 
  • open, neutral and standardized specification for Building Information Models.

BIM Collaboration Format (BCF)
  • WhatsApp of BIM
  • Transferring XML formatted data
  • Send markup models, comments, tasks, attachments, screenshots from the model presenting the problem between all project members.

Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie)
  • COBie is an information exchange specification
  • Deliver asset data as distinct from geometric information
  • In Jan 2019, UK National Annex within BS EN ISO 19650-2 states that non-geometric information exchanges in open data formats should be structured to COBie format.
  • No technology limitation
  • Can be exchanged by "Excel"!

The Role of Professional Engineers in BIM
  • Delivery of Information


  • Information Originator
    • BIM ≠ 3D CAD Drafting
    • BIM is a 3D model contains Professional Information
    • Professional Information is generated by Professionals (e.g. engineers)
    • Professional Engineers are Information Originators of Engineering Works
    • Technicians/BIM modellers input Professional Information to BIM and enable users to get the Information out from BIM to use

  • Information Owner
    • Information Owner can change from time-to-time when the Information Container changes State or the Information Delivery is accepted by the Appointing Party
    • Before the Information Delivery is accepted, Information is owned by the Delivery Team
    • If the Information Container is produced by Appointed Party, before the acceptance by the Lead Appointed Party, the Information is owned by the Appointed Party. After the acceptance, it is owned by the Lead Appointed Party
    • After the Information Delivery is accepted, Information is owned by the Appointing Party

  • Information Management
    • To manage the process to ensure the required information is delivered correctly, on time, and up to the agreed standards
    • Information Management includes:
      1. Clearly specify the information requirements
      2. Select the right delivery team to produce and deliver
      3. Satisfy with delivery team’s BIM Execution Plan before appointment to ensure they are capable to delivery with capacity to take up the job
      4. Brief the task team to follow with the confirmed BIM Execution Plan in producing their deliverables
