Dominik
Holzer from AEC Connect has been invited to attend an industry leadership
workshop by buildingSmart Australia. They have recently secured funding from the
(Australian) Commonwealth to analyse means to propagate the use of BIM across
the building sector in Australia. The funds were given to buildingSmart with
the aim to identify
tasks, priorities and actions for the development of a National BIM
implementation plan.
The
Australian Government is keen to understand the political and structural
mechanisms that are required in order to support its uptake in Australia’s
built environment. Using the Commonwealth funding buildingSmart set up a series
of workshops in several Australian Capital cities, resulting in a report to the
Australian Government.
The workshops were set up with the aim to be as
inclusive as possible and to find broad consensus among industry leaders in the
building sector on how to progress BIM in Australia. buildingSmart prepared a
framework of six main areas of investigation that were considered in greater
detail during the workshop series: - Product Information and BIM Libraries
- Adoption of Common BIM Guidelines & Information Exchange
- Compliance and Certification
- Procurement, Legal Issues & Insurance
- Business Process Change
- Multi-disciplinary BIM Education
The outcomes
of the workshops are currently under revision by the Commonwealth after being
collated into a comprehensive report by buildingSmart.
