Reykjavik 17.8.2007Heikki Kukko


Finnish ICT Barometer 2007• A quick web survey made for Tekes (Finnish Funding

Agency for Technology and Innovation) by VTT (Technical Research Center of Finland)

• Questionnaire open January 2nd - 25th, 2007• Not a statistical sample, rather the upper quartile in

technology adoption; companies interested in R&D

• 86 valid responses (= small sample)• Several replies from one company combined• Significantly incomplete replies removed• Architects, engineers, facility managers, owners,

contractors, material and component industry and others• In analysis: designers = architects and engineers

Case: Senate Properties

Senate Properties is a government owned enterprise responsible for managing and letting the property assets of the Finnish state.

Since 2001, Senate Properties has carried out a number of pilot projects to develop and study the use of product models. Based on feedback from these, Senate Properties has assessed product model technology to be sufficiently ready for putting to use in ordinary project work.

The company has decided to require models meeting the IFC standard in

its projects as of 1 October 2007.


• Senate Properties will draw up detailed modelling guidelines by 1 September 2007. The draft, prepared by VTT, has passed two circulations for comments.

• The guidelines will specify the data content requirements for models to the participants in the project at each stage of the design

• The level of modelling required from 1 October 2007 is just the first step in going over to the broader use of models. The aim is to go over to all-embracing, integrated model-based operations in designing, building, and property servicing and maintenance in the next few years.
