Key Insights

• 🥑 BIM Level Zero is the most basic level, using CAD or pencil drawings.
• 🪜 BIM Level One adds 3D models and collaboration capabilities.
• ⚾ BIM Level Two involves discipline-based models shared through file-based collaborations.
• 💦 BIM Level Three is an integrated model environment with simultaneous access and work by all stakeholders.
• 🎯 BIM Level Two is the target for public sector projects in the UK.
• ♻️ Preparing for BIM Level Two requires adopting a common data environment and defining responsibilities.
• ❓ Classification systems like Cobie and UniClass 2 are used in BIM Level Two.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is the definition of BIM at a basic level?

BIM, according to the National Buildings of Specification, is a rich information model that includes multiple data sources and can be shared across all stakeholders throughout a building's lifecycle.

Q: How does BIM Level Two differ from Level One?

In BIM Level Two, all disciplines produce their own models with geometry and data. Collaboration happens through file sharing and the use of platforms. It is similar to the way things were done in an analog manner, but with the use of digital technology.

Q: Is BIM Level Three widely implemented?

No, BIM Level Three is still a concept and not widely implemented. It involves an integrative model environment where everyone accesses and works on the model simultaneously. Managing the change in such a process can be challenging.

Q: What is the significance of BIM Level Two for public sector projects in the UK?

BIM Level Two is the target for public sector projects. Major government departments and local authorities are aligning their processes with UK BIM Level Two, including their procurement processes. This means BIM deliverables will be required in project tenders.

Summary & Key Takeaways

• BIM Level Zero involves basic CAD or pencil drawings shared on paper.

• BIM Level One includes 3D models and collaboration, but with limited information sharing.

• BIM Level Two expands on Level One by having multiple discipline-based models that are shared and maintained using file-based collaborations.
