The document discusses why project managers should lead on building information modeling (BIM). It describes two similar projects with different BIM implementations and the role of the project manager. Project managers are needed from the start to influence requirements, use collaborative processes, and direct information within the model. Leading with BIM from the beginning allows for greater efficiencies and information sharing throughout the project lifecycle.

13. Enabling, delivering and sharing success
Plan it well from the start

@NatachaRedon @IdentityConsult @APMProjectMgmt #APMnortheast
Naming convention, for files and objects (Stair ≠ stairs)
Duplicates = double quantity
Overlap = additional quantity
What data do you want? Much more effort to add retrospectively
Design as built. Single component can’t be phased

19. What does it look like in practice?

20. Enabling, delivering and sharing success
Let’s bring it back to context
20
@NatachaRedon @IdentityConsult @APMProjectMgmt #APMnortheast
2 projects
Same client
Different teams
Different starting point
Different
challenges!

21. Enabling, delivering and sharing success
Nature of the projects
21
@NatachaRedon @IdentityConsult @APMProjectMgmt #APMnortheast
• New build on
greenfield site
• Mixed demolition,
refurbishment and
new-build on
constricted site
=> Roughly same value

22. Enabling, delivering and sharing success
BIM implementation
22
@NatachaRedon @IdentityConsult @APMProjectMgmt #APMnortheast
• EIRs and BIM
assessment part of the
design tender
• BIM only implemented
through Concept Design

23. Enabling, delivering and sharing success
My own role
23
@NatachaRedon @IdentityConsult @APMProjectMgmt #APMnortheast
• Project manager,
BIM Leader,
Information Manager
• BIM Leader,
Information Manager.
Project Management is
delivered by our local
office

24. Enabling, delivering and sharing success
Impact of delayed implementation
24
@NatachaRedon @IdentityConsult @APMProjectMgmt #APMnortheast
Information within model?
Collaboration?

25. Enabling, delivering and sharing success
Role
25
 Influence prior to design team appointment not to be
underestimated
 Efficiencies in process
 Directory (project & information manager)
 Design progress (project manager & BIM Leader)
 Appointment scope (project manager & BIM Leader)
 Presence in front of the team
