From the April 2016, BIM was introduced into UK central government with a view to encouraging adoption across the public sector. The objective is that all projects across the UK public sector adopt BIM level 2. As well as the UK central government requiring BIM, most private clients are also now demanding BIM. So, what is BIM Level 2? How do we feed into the Asset Management Process & deliver the data requirements specified in the EIR & COBie Responsibility Matrix? This seminar will help to answer these questions for you.

Aim:

Our aim is to guide you on how best to approach COBie using Autodesk Revit 2018 and gain an understanding of Ifc & Classification and their role in delivering structured data to feed into the overall COBie deliverable. We will highlight all the necessary steps on how to set up your model with the aid of both the Autodesk Classification Manager and the Autodesk COBie Extension in order to export COBie via Ifc & the Autodesk COBie Extension.
