THE BENEFITS
OF BIM
OUR BIM SYNERGY
OUR BIM
COMMITMENT
OUR BIM
CAPABILITY
Earlier and more accurate
visualisations of project
fundamentals
Enhanced collaboration and conflict
mitigation for all design disciplines
Efficient use, space planning and
performance optioning
Improved information delivery for
key decisions
Higher quality and accuracy of
outputs for greater predictability
Faster project delivery
Integration between analysis/design
and construction models
Efficient construction phasing
Improved programming and cost
management (4D and 5D analysis)
Risk reduction with increased
confidence in design, construction
and operational costs
Improved facilities management
The fundamental principles and
objectives of BIM processes are
synonymous with B&W’s core ethos.
BIM is integrated into our design processes and
management systems. Appropriately applying BIM on our
projects enables us to realise our core values and facilitate:
Earlier design collaboration to develop and test design
alternatives
More effort on design by our experienced and talented
engineers with less effort on processing documentation
Achieving precise co-ordination and clash avoidance
early during the design phases, reducing risk of
increased construction costs or a degraded installation
High quality and highly informative digital deliverables
Enhanced collaboration to ensure designs are
right first time.
B&W’s BIM affinity is
recognised by our
commitment to a long term
structured implementation strategy.
Our established BIM maturity has
been advanced through robust
and sustained investment, forming
the building blocks of successful
implementation.
Key BIM building blocks implemented:
A centre of excellence for talent
Certified and accredited capability
Robust IT infrastructure
Collaborative working tools
Our BIM pedigree in defined by the technical
expertise and talent of our highly experienced
team and the continuous development of our
streamlined internal BIM systems. We demonstrate our
expertise through recognised and accredited certification.
BIM PRODUCTION
Our technical capability to build
advanced and complex MEP
models is sustained through
company-wide BIM standards
and structured internal
training.
These standards and training
are developed and enhanced
through company BIM
champions Karl Snowball and
Karl (top) and Chris (below)
Chris Nisbert. Both Karl and
Chris are Autodesk® Revit®
MEP:2015 Certified Professionals, a status achieved only by an
elite community of MEP engineering professionals in the UK
and globally.
BIM DELIVERY
Our internal management systems
and procedures are certified to
BIM Level 2, demonstrating our
information management capability
as defined within the standards
PAS1192-2:2013 and PAS 91:2013
section 4.2.
The was achieved by fully
integrating the requirements of BIM
Level 2 into our business quality
management (QSE) systems which
have also achieved UKAS accredited certification to ISO 9001.
BIM is now embedded in the way in which we operate.
