Few things have as much potential to improve the performance of New Zealand’s building, construction and asset operation sectors as building information modelling (BIM). An investigation conducted by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) highlights BIM as the only improvement initiative likely to deliver a step-change, rather than an incremental gain in productivity.

The appendicies to the New Zealand BIM Handbook have been published by the BIM acceleration committee (BAC) and were created to promote the use of BIM and it’s benefits to create, maintain and operate quality built assest in New Zealand. These appendices explain and give examples of some of the different BIM elements which can be applied to projects. These appendices contain guidance as well as templates which can be used as a resource on projects, to facilitate early BIM adoption. A Model Description Document (MDD) is a document issued with a model describing what it contains and identifying limitations of use. Exchanging models is the very basis of the BIM process. All users need to understand the level to which they can rely on the models they receive. Models can contain far more information than traditional electronic deliverables. The issuer of a model must clearly define what it can be used for and make information available for others to use during the development of the project. This resource is the template which is available in Word format, the example file is also available on the Information collection.

The New Zealand BIM Handbook published by the BIM acceleration committee (BAC) was created to promote the use of BIM and it’s benefits to create, maintain and operate quality built assest in New Zealand. The handbook has been developed in partnership with industry and draws on best BIM practice from around the world. This third edition expands on the previous release in 2016. This recent release of the BIM handbook also references ISO 19650 standards and provides more information on BIM for constrcution, facilities management and linear infrastructure. Appendices contained within the BIM handbook (linked separtely in the information collection) provide templates and examples for BIM planning documents and more details on specific aspects of the BIM workflow and model coordination This is the third edition of the handbook. It provides more information on BIM for construction, facilities management and linear infrastructure. Reference is made to the recently released standards ISO 19650 parts 1 and 2. Other document references have been updated to reflect the latest editions. This handbook outlines critical inputs from FM/AM providers that will ensure BIM delivers the information they need, in a format that they can use. Includes BIM planning documents and details on aspects of BIM workflow.

These appendices contain guidance as well as templates which can be used as a resource on projects, to facilitate early BIM adoption. The intent of the BIM execution plan is to provide an outline that will ensure all parties involved are clearly aware of the opportunities and responsibilities associated with projects that implement BIM. The plan defines why you are using BIM on the project. It sets goals, objectives, and responsibilities, and outlines how the process will be executed through the project life cycle. The BIM execution plan is a living document and should be developed and refined throughout the project life cycle to ensure the project remains on schedule and meets the briefed requirements. This BEP template can be used as a framework for the development of a BEP for specific construction project/s. The BIM execution plan should be developed with reference to the New Zealand BIM handbook. This resource is the template which is available in Word format, the example file is also available on the Information collection.

These appendices contain guidance as well as templates which can be used as a resource on projects, to facilitate early BIM adoption. This appendix document identifies goals, uses, objectives, and responsibilities with regard to BIM. The project BIM brief should be developed in the project establishment phase to be fully effective. It is a briefing document in its own right and could form part of a Request For Proposal (RFP). The BIM evaluation and response template should accompany this brief to provide a consistent set of questions for suppliers. After this phase, the BIM execution plan provides the framework for management and operational functions of BIM throughout the projectÂ’s life cycle. The project BIM brief should be developed with reference to the New Zealand BIM handbook and client information strategy and operations requirements. The briefing document should be used at pre-appointment stages when procuring a delivery team. This resource is the template which is available in Word format, the example file is also available on the Information collection.
