2016

• Since 2012, >20 Government Procurement Entities (GPEs) have incorporated the Public Sector BIM Requirements into their contracts, with >200 public projects have embarked on BIM

• Since Aug 2015, under the Productivity Gateway Framework (PGF), GPEs must commit to implement VDC/BIM - 30-50 projects by 2020

Public Sector Takes the Lead in BIM/VDC Adoption

INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS

• Set up in 2011

• Lead the development of BIM standards and supporting resources to facilitate the collaborative use of BIM;

• Advise on areas that would enable effective implementation of BIM at company, project and industry levels.

An IDD Scenario

IDD Platform: Data Storage, Data Exchange, Data Processing, Data Mining, Analytics Engine/Machine Learning

Architect uses computational BIM to generate different

design options

Engineers perform sustainability

analysis

Contractor and Fabricator give early

input on constructability

Developer use VR collaboration tool to visualise

the building

DfMA modules are delivered just-

in-time to site

Fabricator uses the digital DfMA model

for production planning

Digital IDs are embedded in DfMA modules

Digital data and robotics are used to drive the machinery

and installation sequence

Supervisor monitors all activities in a

central control room

Contractor uses BIM to plan the construction activities & scheduling

Crane Operator operates the smart crane

PM monitors site activities & tracks

progress using drones

Contractor uses BIM-to-Field technology

for setting out

Building Owner & FM Operator monitor building performance

Digital asset are handed over to Building Owner

Contractor uses tablet to check construction vs digital model & records all defects
