For BIM Managers
The importance of data for BIM managers
As a BIM manager, understanding and effectively managing data is essential to successful projects.
The first step in managing data for BIM is to create an organized and efficient structure. This structure should be based on the BIM objectives and goals, as well as the specific needs of the project. A plan for data collection and storage should also be developed. Establishing a system for organizing and storing data makes it easier to access information quickly when needed.
Edocuments platform and services simplify BIM data management, speeding up data gathering and increasing data validation accuracy.
Save countless hours
Why BIM managers use Edocuments platform? Save countless hours that you would normally be manually moving files and data from CDE’s, create rules to synchronise the files and data to and from your O&M systems and sections.
Clash detection for data ... Edocuments solution for Autodesk Construction cloud users is to enable Edocuments model health checker, which automatically validates the model when ever it is uploaded to ACC. The validation rules can be customised, or picked from a library of commonly used tests.
COBie as standard
COBie is the most widely used data exchange format within the construction industry. Often COBie is viewed as a complicated process. Yet Edocuments’ standard templates have been developed to provide COBie information in a simplified, easy-to-view manner. Edocuments’ software creates, imports, edits, and exports COBie in a streamlined and efficient way. Data can be pulled directly form 3D models and synchronised back at the end of a project.
Benefits for BIM professionals
• Automatic document generation from a COBie file
• COBie import and Export.
• Import your asset information requirements (AIR) for use as a validation.
• Data connectors to all major CDE’s , use these to create rules to sync files and data to and from your O&M systems and sections.
• COBie validator with validation against your asset information requirements
• Directly pull and push data from Autodesk construction cloud, use extracted model data.
• Built in 3D model viewer for quick visualisation of validation errors, and navigation to O&M data.
• Navigate your O&M manuals directly from your 3D model, with BIM links from your model to the O&M data.
Edocuments Digital O&M
Edocuments Digital O&M is completely data-driven and allows clients’ BIM models to link to any as-built information. Typically, users link elements and systems in the BIM model to the specific system information in the Digital O&M.
The Digital O&M is the central hub for all as-built information from subcontractors, suppliers, and the professional team.
Edocuments’ Platform guarantees that all information passes through an authoring, review and approval cycle.
Investing in data
Data is one of the most important elements of BIM management. It provides insights into project performance, informs decisions, and helps ensure long-term maintenance. As a BIM manager, understanding and effectively managing data is essential to successful projects.
The first step in managing data for BIM is to create an organized and efficient structure. This structure should be based on the BIM objectives and goals, as well as the specific needs of the project. A plan for data collection and storage should also be developed. Establishing a system for organizing and storing data makes it easier to access information quickly when needed.
Data accuracy is critical in order to benefit from the insights provided by Big Data. Identifying errors and inaccuracies in data is important and must be done regularly to ensure accuracy. This includes verifying the source of the data as well as evaluating its accuracy and completeness. Additionally, ensuring that data is up to date is essential for it to remain relevant and useful.
