ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the practice guidance of the building information Modelling (BIM) Task Group which has developed nationally recognised standards, forms and processes for preparing production and asset information from BIM. The Group’s recommended approach involves a ‘Push-Pull’ mechanism. This means that, as part of the pre-qualification process, the client issues its predefined requirements for the delivery from BIM of coordinated data that will inform its decision to proceed through each project stage. The PAS-1192 documentation is a suite of specifications introduced as a consequence of the Government’s BIM Strategy. Together, they provide guidance for collaborative project/asset information management through BIM. PAS-1192-2 describes the generic BIM workflows that should be adapted to the distinctive design, construction and asset management requirements of specific building projects. At each juncture between these stages, it is important for clients to decide on whether the project is sufficiently viable for it to continue.
