Streamline Information Management for BIM Success – Get Started  With DDC

Streamlining information management is crucial to ensure the success of Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementation in a construction project. By integrating BIM into a project, the stakeholders have access to the necessary data as and when required. Moreover, it also facilitates the process of data management throughout a project’s lifecycle.

In today’s article, we aim to explore the essential components of DDC’s IMS and how it can ensure ultimate success for the concerned teams. In addition, we will also have a quick look at IMS’s unique selling propositions (USPs).

The Importance of Information Management in BIM 

Information management is an essential part of BIM projects as it enables the stakeholders to have access to accurate, up-to-date information in real-time. It also ensures that each team is working on a single version of the truth that leads to the ultimate success of any construction project. There are criteria to make sure that effective BIM information management is implemented in a project. For example; the information management system aligns with BIM standards, such as ISO 19650. This compliance enables the projects to be worked on and delivered on time, following a well-chalked-out format. 

We understand that the management of rich data can be overwhelming for certain parties. In such scenarios, mismanagement of data is inevitable resulting in inefficiencies and delays; ultimately causing delays in project delivery. Jimi Clarke of DDC Solutions shares that one of the key challenges in construction projects is failing to prepare the concerned teams to deliver what is expected.

Also, the lack of a well-structured IMS can result in errors, cost increases, and delays. Allow us to mention that you can avoid all that from happening with our innovative Information Management Services. 

BIM Information Management – The DDC Advantage  

DDC’s information management service is tailored to the unique requirements of each project. The following are the salient features of our services:

ISO 19650 and BIM Level 2 Compliance

DDC’s IMS is designed to ensure that all projects are in strong compliance with ISO 19650 and BM Level 2 standards. This helps in guaranteeing compliance with international protocols and also allows for streamlined coordination among teams. All stakeholders can enjoy standardized workflows and accurate information exchange. By doing so, DDC helps streamline operations, reduce risks, and improve business outcomes.

Customized BIM Execution Plans (BEP)

A well-defined BIM Execution Plan (BEP) can guarantee the success of BIM implementation. One of the key features of DDC’s IMS is that it creates customized BEPs to meet each project’s unique demands. This also enables stakeholders to fully understand their respective roles during a project. Customized BEPs offer guidelines on the types of data production, how to validate it, and delivery timelines. This structured approach enables DDC to avoid challenges such as data mismanagement and coordination issues.

Integrated Common Data Environment (CDE)

DDC utilizes a powerful digital hub Common Data Environment (CDE) through which all project data can be stored, accessed, and shared. This enables the stakeholders to access up-to-date and current information in real time which reduces the chances of errors and clashes. CDE is designed to provide support data security protocols which ensures that confidential information is safe while being accessible to authorized project teams.

Streamlined Validation and Coordination

Seamless coordination of 3D models and other information helps avoid costly errors and delays. DDC’s IMS offers tools that validate models and coordinate information before it is shared with other stakeholders. This helps ensure that all data is per the project standards, has been geo-referenced accurately, and is compatible with other discipline’s models. This process enables teams to minimize clashes; making sure that the design, construction, and operational phases run smoothly.

Support for COBie and Asset Information Management

DDC’s IMS is designed to provide support beyond the construction phase. For example; clients ensure efficient facilities and asset management by integrating DDC’s IMS along with full support for Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie). This system allows for capturing the data required for facility management after the building has been completed. DDC makes it easy for facility managers to access critical data (maintenance schedules, warranties, etc.) by ensuring the information is collected and structured while the building is in the construction phase.

Tailored Training and Support

DDC ensures to provide all project teams with tailored training and support so that they can make the most of BIM software such as Revit. The comprehensive training encompasses several aspects like model creation, clash detection and data validation. DDC also provides support throughout the project’s lifecycle to ensure all issues are addressed and resolved on time and project teams can access technical expertise as and when required.

Cost and Time Efficiency 

DDC’s IMS helps in reducing costs and improving efficiency. DDC standardizes processes and ensures accurate data exchange, helping clients to avoid costly mistakes. Another key feature of DDC’s IMS is that it enables better coordination among teams which ensures timely project delivery within budget. DDC also focuses on waste reduction in the context of physical resources and time.
