Australian BIM strategic framework
[1]
Australian Institute of Architects and Consult Australia In 2012 and 2013, they released: A total of 27 "practical guides" on BIM, covering a wide range of topics and stakeholders. Each guidance document provides a basic level of information for the industry. The effort was to offer practical, entry-level information to help those in the supply chain who were new to BIM concepts and their impact on the construction sector. In 2014, SBEnrc published a guidance document and continues to promote the development of Australia's National BIM Adoption Strategy. In 2016, SBEnrc developed the BIM Value Tool in collaboration with NATSPEC to support embedded practitioners seeking to implement BIM throughout the life cycle of an asset's built environment and want to understand how BIM will deliver value to their businesses and projects. The BIM Value Benchmarking tool was released at the end of 2017 to allow practitioners to compare project data with others.
In 2019, the BIM Advisory Board formed by the Australasian Procurement and Construction Council (APCC) and the Australian Construction Industry Forum (ACIF) together with the key standard-setting bodies NATSPEC, buildingSMART and Standards Australia developed a BIM Strategy Paper: Australian BIM Strategic Framework [2] Areas strategic activities are defined in 4 points, the most important outlines of the strategy are quoted below:
- Provide a clear direction for government BIM adoption and requirements: The BIM Implementation Plan will detail the approach to be taken to support BIM adoption by industry and relevant governmental entities, as outlined in this Framework. The state and territory plans will also address the different capabilities, capabilities, and trajectory of each jurisdiction. This includes highlighting the projected level of BIM use over time by a jurisdiction using agreed definitions of "BIM levels" to provide the necessary clarity, including: industry and to enable sequencing efforts under this framework to support BIM adoption nationwide.
- Developing and adopting standards and ensuring an open and collaborative data environment: Developing BIM data standards will be a joint effort between governments and industry. Governments will require the use of standards that will be based on an open data format for information exchange. Support will continue to be provided to industry to ensure the development of common technical standards appropriate to the Australian context to ensure that the greatest benefits of adopting BIM are realized. Data classification systems and data exchange formats shall refer to relevant standards, including those that are developed locally or adopt international standards, as appropriate for the Australian context.
- Improving procurement and contract conditions: State and territorial governments will improve procurement methods to enable BIM adoption and, where possible, adopt a nationally consistent approach to BIM in construction procurement and construction and infrastructure management. These approaches will take into account the current commercial and intellectual property structures relevant to Australian construction and asset management and use them to inform the development of the Procurement Best Practice Guide that includes BIM.
- Encourage skills development and capacity building: National and territorial governments recognize the importance of developing skills and capabilities to enable BIM to be used throughout the resource's life cycle. The state and territory governments will support the development of capabilities and systems within their agencies, consistent with the agencies' goals and their jurisdictional BIM plan, once established
The latest additions to the BIM document package and guides result from a combined effort between the Australian Purchasing and Construction Council (APCC) and the Australia Construction Industry Forum (ACIF). In addition to their publications, such as "Framework for Adoption of Project Team Integration and Building Information Modeling," the joint group released: A Guide to Building and Construction Purchasing, with a focus on Project Team Integration and BIM. APCC and ACIF see their role as a mediator between industry interests and government requirements. The APCC / ACIF focuses less on the technical aspects of BIM, but rather on legal topics, procurement and collaboration / processes. In 2017, APCC and ACIF, along with NATSPEC, buildingSMART and Standards Australia and state government support, established the Australian BIM Advisory Board (ABAB). ABAB is adopting the entire construction industry approach to national BIM adoption.
