They should not to be understood in the sense of a generally valid recommendation or guideline from a legal point of view. The documents are intended to support appointing and appointed parties in the application of the BIM method. The documents must be adapted to the specific project requirements in each case. The examples listed do not claim to be complete. Its information is based on findings from practical experience and is accordingly to be understood as best practice and not universally applicable. Since we are in a phase in which definitions are only emerging, the publisher cannot guarantee the correctness of individual contents.
The main aim of the use case is to give guidance to stakeholders regarding BIM implementation in renovation projects based on their respective level of BIM maturity. This is achieved through an online tool that guides the stakeholders to BIM use cases that are tailored to their respective level of BIM maturity. The overall benefit of using the tool lies in time and costs savings due to the better-informed user who can make appropriate decisions on their BIM usage.
The user opens the BIM-Speed platform and then the BIM Maturity Tool. There, an account must be created. As first step of the workflow the user enters general information on the company and saves the changes. See following picture:
Then, the user starts a new questionnaire scan and answers these questions. See following picture:
The user has the possibility to view the results of the stakeholders’ BIM maturity. Afterwards, the user enters information on the project, saves these changes and answers the questions regarding BIM use cases. See following picture:
Then he or she can view the results of proposed BIM use cases. Depending on whether information has changed, the user can re-enter information on the company, the questions or the project. The end of the workflow is achieved when the user has viewed the status of BIM maturity and proposals for identified use cases. See following picture:
The user has achieved various goals: 1. Determination of the feasibility of using BIM for renovation projects; 2. Definition of the scope of BIM implementation for renovation projects and 3. Facilitation of the implementation of BIM in renovation projects.
The following training video gives detailed explanations to the use case:
The use case facilitates stage 1 Conception of need. Firstly, this is achieved through the calculation of the stakeholders’ BIM maturity, as shown in the overall process model:
Secondly, this is achieved through the presentation of possible BIM use cases adapted to the project and the stakeholder. See following detail of process map:
By implementing this use case, the user achieves an overall facilitation of the use of the BIM methodology. This results in better quality of the BIM data and time and cost savings.
Some pre-requisites for using this tool are:
