BIM Management is a tool that
complements and enhances project
management.
The industry as a whole is
becoming digitised, BIM project
management focuses on:
Coordination
Time and cost estimation
Programming
Procurement
Design input at different
stages

A collaborative working method that
makes use of 3D digital models that
contain technical and structured data,
which improves the traditional approach
BIM is a process of sharing reliable
information throughout the life cycle of a
building.

Integrated Project Delivery is a project delivery
approach that integrates people, systems, business
structures and practices into a process that
collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of
all participants to optimize project results, increase
value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize
efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication,
and construction

Facilities management
Post-occupancy, the asset manager can use a
spreadsheet containing all the (non-graphical) digital
information about a building. This was developed to
improve the handover process to asset owner-
operators, for facilities management decision-making
including operation of the systems and infrastructure,
planned (and reactive) maintenance, repair,
replacement and, eventually, decommissioning,
dismantling and recycling.

The control during the
pre-stage of the
construction will help with
quality checks and will
ensure constructability by
detection, modification
and check of
inconsistencies in the
project.

Construction BIM Project Management
Project Management BIM tasks
During the construction phase the following BIM project management activities take place:
Ensuring model coordination
Synchronisation of changes across models
Monitoring EIR compliance
Retaining overview and ownership of design during construction
Maintain and developing the BEP

Post-Construction BIM Project Management
Project Management BIM tasks
In the post-construction phase the following BIM project management activities take place:
Record as built model
Asset Information Management
Schedule of maintenance
Building performance monitoring (as part of “Soft landings”)
BIM is the data repository where asset information is stored to be transferred to the owners facilities
management systems

A digital plan helps the project team
understand their obligations and ensure
appropriate deliverables of geometry, data
and other documentation are prepared for
the client to enable timely and efficient
decision making throughout the life of the
project.

Plan of Work
Professional bodies have created
complementary toolkits in the UK such as
the RIBA Plan of Work and the NBS Digital
Plan of Work
back to

RIBA Plan of Work
The RIBA Plan of Work
provides a framework for the
project team to approach
design, construction and
operational processes in the
UK and worldwide.

Plan of Work
The NBS Digital Plan of Work (DPoW) outlines the information requirements for any constructed asset, new or
existing.
The NBS DPoW deals primarily with information created, developed and used within BIM models, while the RIBA
Plan of work recognises that not all projects will be procured to that standard or moreover, developed using a BIM
approach.

From an information sharing point of view, the
digital model makes it possible to:
Cost

APD
DCE EXE
build the building virtually before building it
physically, and thus to anticipate site problems
save time
have an optimised collaboration by giving all
stakeholders access to information
by allowing all parties involved to work on the
same basis : reduce information transfer
problems and therefore errors in both design
and execution
optimise both human and material resources
