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. The appendix includes common modelling standards and workflows, along with general modelling guidelines. This includes a step by step guide for set up and authoring, model coordination, handover and sign off procedures along with transition of model ownership and final project BIM deliverables.

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. This schedule, in the form of an appendix example, assigns responsibilities to model elements via an author (MEA) and defines Level of Development (LOD) for those model elements across project stages. Model elements ownership can be transferred between participating parties, but should be clearly defined in the table within this example. This MEA schedule is a starting point for a project and the selection of elements in the schedule. It should reflect individual project requirements and be agreed by participating parties. This resource is the template which is available in Word format, the example file is also available on the Information collection.

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 example, the Word format template file is also available on the Information collection.

Successful model coordination relies on different BIM disciplines understanding their roles and modelling only what they are responsible for, according to the Model Elements Authoring (MEA) schedule. Coordination is much more than just clash detection – the key to successful coordination is to identify and prioritise issues, assign relevant project stakeholders to address them, and track the issues until they are resolved. This document helps projects to look at the project coordination and its tolerances as well as the priority for various types of clashes which may be encountered in the model coordination process.

The BIM Acceleration Committee (BAC) is the driving force behind BIMinNZ. They are a nationwide alliance of industry and government, established in Feb 2014 to coordinate efforts to increase the use of BIM in New Zealand. An important enabler of BIM adoption is to ensure that construction professionals of today remain current with the changing ways of delivering great value to clients, whilst at the same time increasing the range of digital tools available. This range of video training resources which the BAC has made freely available helps industry to grow capability & capacity related to BIM. As part of the BIMinNZ initiative for industry training the successful BIM101: An insight Seminar series have been created and presented by Industry volunteers. There are Seven Modules, and these videos follow on from the successful BIM101 training booklet which can be downloaded on the BIM Industry Training page.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is the GovernmentÂ’s lead business-facing agency. MBIE plays a central role in shaping and delivering a strong New Zealand economy. Everything the MBIE deliver is about growing New Zealand for all. They have a recognition that a strong economy is one in which they can use the skills, knowledge and time of the people in conjunction with their natural resources, and financial and physical capital to improve the wellbeing of current and future generations. The MBIE have created a BIM website to deliver information about the local adoption and development of BIM. The MBIE in New Zealand supports the development of BIM, and through the work of the BIM Acceleration Committee is learning how BIM can have a positive impact on the NZ building and construction sector. Information about the BIM Acceleration Committee can also be found on this information collection. This page regarding BIM on the MBIE website is in the same section as planning and consents for building work in the country, indicating itÂ’s importance at the planning level.

The appendix give an overview of Level of Developemnt (LOD) elements within a model – not the overal model. It covers Level of development (LOD) verses level of detail, LOD notation, definitions and discontinuous progression.

These appendices contain guidance as well as templates which can be used as a resource on projects, to facilitate early BIM adoption. This handbooked has identified a number of processes or tasks such as design authoring and coordination. This hand booked lists these tasks as used. Twenty-one separate uses have been identified. Some uses are commonly used on projects; others are an indication of where BIM may be applied in the future. Over the past five years the BIM Acceleration Committee, in conjunction with EBOSS, has collected data on the levels of usage for each BIM. The report includes data that was drawn from an industry control group of small-to-large parties, covering all the cycle stages.

This appendix sets out core BIM uses aligned to phases outlined in the New Zealand Construction Industry Council (NZCIC) Design and Documentation Guidelines. This schedule should be read in conjunction with the Guidelines, which overlay the BIM requirements and tasks for each phase.
