BIM in operation
Building Information Modeling or BIM has become an integral part of today's construction world. Managing the digital models - which contain more and more data - is becoming increasingly important.
With BIM Management, Ingenium is playing a pioneering role in this. After all, the 'digital twin' is becoming a crucial tool, not only in the design phase and on-site execution. Because the special techniques have a major impact on the cost of use and maintenance, this also becomes the central information point for the operation of a building.
BIM management should not be confused with BIM'ing or "working in BIM. It is already common in complex projects for the various construction partners to (collaborate) in BIM around a digital model containing all relevant data. In a BIM protocol, the client and all other parties involved lay down the agreements to ensure that the BIM process runs smoothly and according to the client's wishes. The BIM manager does not intervene in the digital model himself, but as a process supervisor ensures that the protocol is observed and that the data is always kept available and accessible. This allows all other construction partners to focus fully on their own core tasks.
The BIM manager is a key figure when collaboration takes place within one phase - design or execution - between architect, structural engineer and special techniques engineer. But also when information is transferred to other construction partners - such as contractor execution or installers - it is important to avoid information loss or duplication of effort. Moreover, after execution, the "digital handover" occurs. The BIM model is then accepted as a digital copy of the physical building. In that digital twin, the link is made with all the sensors in the building that enable efficient follow-up in the operation phase.
