Define information requirements aligned to specific project stages.
#ALLPLAN BIM 2014 VERIFICATION#
The BIM toolkit comprises a digital plan of work, a unified classification system, thousands of definition templates and a verification tool that can be used to: It can help ensure that information meets the requirements of Level 2 BIM and is suitable for private and public sector projects, including buildings and infrastructure projects such as rail and highways as well as buildings. The BIM toolkit can be used to help '…define, manage and validate responsibility for information development and delivery at each stage of the asset lifecycle.'. The project started in October 2014, and the nbs BIM toolkit public beta went live on 8 April 2015 for public evaluation. The team also included the BIM Academy, RICS, Microsoft, BDP, Mott MacDonald, Newcastle University and Laing O'Rourke. In September 2014, the contract was awarded to a team led by NBS, a subsidiary of RIBA Enterprises Ltd, responsible for the National Building Specification. The competition was for '…up to £1.5m to support the development of a free-to-use digital tool that can exploit the standards being made publicly available for building information modelling ( BIM).' In February 2014, the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) published a brief for a two-stage Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) competition for 'A digital tool for building information modelling'. The idea originated with the BIM Task Group, a group supported by the Department for Business Innovation & Skills (BIS) and the Construction Industry Council (CIC) to bring together expertise from industry, government, institutes and academia to strengthen the public sector's capability at building information modelling ( BIM). The NBS BIM Toolkit provides '.step-by-step help to define, manage and validate responsibility for information development and delivery at each stage of the asset lifecycle'. In preparation for the roll out of Level 2 BIM, a number of standards, protocols and classification systems have be created. This represents a minimum requirement for Level 2 BIM on centrally-procured public projects.
Government will require fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016'. In the UK, the Government Construction Strategy published in May 2011, stated that the '.
