BIM POLISH DIGITIZATION

Work on the BIM IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IN POLAND can be considered the opening of the official history of BIM in Poland as part of the Digitization of the construction process in Poland project implemented by the Ministry of Development. Summaries of the survey have just been published: a survey conducted by the Ministry together with PWC (February 2020) and workshops in the form of an online meeting with PwC, BIM Cluster, DZP and invited guests from Great Britain, Spain and the Czech Republic. The summary of the survey is particularly interesting because it was conducted on a narrow group of people interested in BIM in Poland. The following article is an attempt to draw original conclusions from published (in the public domain) data. The presented charts were prepared as an estimate of the available values on the website of the Ministry of Development without preservation. The following theses can be treated as assumptions based on the analysis of many BIM documents in the field of its implementation and published reports on the web.

The main needs for implementing BIM in Poland were specified by the respondents as: education, financing, standardization and did not provide solutions at the level of 20% (it was possible that this was due to the lack of completing the survey to the end or the lack of providing other definitions in the survey). Financing is an obvious problem due to the need to use software. This problem may be the lean knowledge of BIM solutions. In Poland, the Autodesk and Nemetschek Group solutions undoubtedly play the dominant role. Thus, the lack of knowledge about other programming solutions may generate a problem of their financing. This is very much associated with the lack of availability of education and standardization in the field of other software that could be an alternative to the most expensive ones. It is possible to say that increasing the availability of BIM software will solve the increase in the availability of educational materials in the field of other software (especially in the form of online training and knowledge). However, the greatest need was defined as education. Apart from the domination of the two entities on the market, the language barrier and the scant offer of free training may also be a problem. Standardization indicated at 12% can be read as the lack of easy implementation of existing solutions into the Polish construction sector. This is associated with a lack of education (mainly focused on software), a language barrier, extensive literature (way of providing over 20 minutes), changes in PN standards as part of the implementation of ISO and EN ISO and national building regulations. A possible, quick solution to this problem, until the creation of the official BIM standard in Poland, seems to be the translation of existing solutions in Europe into Polish using vocabulary adapted to Polish standards and applicable law.

You can easily read education problems from the knowledge source table. If the main source is personal search for solutions at work, then you should look for a solution to this problem outside of education. There are four reasons for this: 1. Lack of quick solutions for easy assimilation of knowledge, 2. Lack of general introduction to BIM as part of online solutions (very detailed materials are available that assume a high degree of knowledge of previous processes), 3. Price and time needed for education, 4. Lack of connection between the construction market services and the IT industry (already at the university level). The indicated higher studies on the lowest of the sources listed in the graph indicate the necessity of independent self-education outside the time range for learning and the need to take additional BIM education, which comes as part of the engineer's professional practice at all not at its beginning. At the source of higher education (as it results from other published reports in the public domain) it should be noted that this mainly concerns post-graduate studies. What can confirm the above observation.

The level of BIM use is presented as a group of recipients and users of BIM in Poland. The relationship Designers - Contractors - Investors does not differ from European trends. This is one of the main reasons for the lack of popularity of BIM in Poland (as in other countries). Reversing these trends as the main recipients - Investors will force the need to apply BIM to all other groups of the investment process. Therefore, as a need, respondents indicate the introduction of the obligation to use BIM in the public procurement sector as the largest investor in the country.

The wait graph is very obvious. The lack of a standard for the entire construction and real estate sector is a natural obstacle to other expectations. A possible indication for the authors of BIM Standard PL while working on a document may be the conclusion of a good data management system in development that will enforce the provisions of contracts. However, it should be remembered that the standard must cover the entire building life cycle from 2D to 9D, meeting the needs of all those interested in this cycle.
