BIM INFORMED EDUCATION AND
COLLABORATION AT LJMU
Outline of the session
• BIM – what is it?
• BIM and education - the need to
change
• BIM and education - in practice at
LJMU
LJMU starting point
Is BIM a process?
Is BIM a technology?
Or is it?
In the words of Dave Philp (2013)
‘A language of collaboration to
reduce cost, reduce carbon and to
add value’
Does it matter what it is?
• Change is a purpose not an event
• We need to understand the purpose of
BIM and its outcomes and adapt
education to support industry.
NBS BIM Report 2013
• Almost 75% of
industry still not clear
what BIM is
• Only 35% of industry
confident with their
knowledge and skills
in relation to BIM
LJMU BIM Task Group
May 2012 a collaborative task group established across the
School of Built Environment and the following programmes:
– Architectural Technology
– Building Services Engineering
– Building Surveying
– Construction Management
– Civil Engineering
– Quantity Surveying
Traditional working practices!!
Collaboration
A new way of working??????
Do we need to change the way we
deliver, what we deliver and how we
assess?
Skill development
Level 4
CAD/Revit/Microsoft Project/Causeway -procurement(take off)
Level 5
CAD measure/ASTA/navisworks-clash detection,IES(thermal modelling)
Level 6
BIM Measure/navisworks/timeline/Cobie spread sheets?
Levels 4,5 and 6
COLLABORATION USING A 3D MODEL
BIM WORKSHOP
AIM
• New venture in the school to prepare students to work collaboratively in the “real world” utilising a 3 dimensional building model.
• The 2 day workshop provides students with an introduction to Building Information Modelling at Level 4.
Who are we collaborating with?
Students on the following programmes:
• Architectural Technology
• Building Services Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Construction Management
• Quantity Surveying
What did we expect of students?
Task 1
Interrogate a 3D house model and outline the information that can be derived from the model explaining how this can be used collaboratively by each of the disciplines within the group.
Task 2
Extend the 3D house model by 12m2 in poor ground, revising the foundation type and calculating the impact on the programme, finishings cost and thermal modelling.
What next?
• Level 4(year 1) BIM workshop March 4 and 5 2014
• Use a more complex industrial 3D model to assess level 5 and level 6 students in 2014 -2015 academic year.
What next for you on your BIM
journey?
Thank You.
