• early ‘rough and ready’ design analysis on environmental performance,
minimising iterative design time
• cost models that can be quickly derived from the model using new costing
interfaces
• automated checking of building models for Building Regulations compliance
and/or other technical standards
• methods of analysing health and safety aspects associated with the
construction and maintenance of the building in parallel with the design, and

Design processes will continue to be developed to their next level of refinement
so that there are clear and established methods setting out how many parties can
work in the same model environment at the same time. These processes will be
aligned with better Schedules of Services and responsibility documents and ways
of assembling the project team.

• asset management, key performance indicators and other Feedback
information aligned with intelligent briefing enabling information in the model to
be developed during design and used as part of a more sophisticated handover
(Soft Landings) approach and to inform and improve future projects.
The 2012 BIM Overlay to the RIBA Outline Plan of Work 2007 provided a useful
overview of the different levels of BIM as defined in the Bew-Richards BIM
maturity diagram in Figure 6.1, and highlighted the fact that, in order to progress to
L2 BIM and onwards to L3, the following were required:
• collaborative and integrated working methods and teamwork to establish closer
ties between all designers on a project, including designing trade contractors
• knowledge of databases and how these can be integrated with the building
model to produce a data-rich model incorporating specification, cost, time and
facilities management information
• new procurement routes and forms of contracts aligned to the new working
methods
• interoperability of software to enable concurrent design activities (for example,
allowing environmental modelling to occur concurrently with orientation and
façade studies)
• standardisation of the frequently used definitions and a rationalisation of the
new terms being developed in relation to BIM, and
• use of BIM data to analyse time (4D), cost (5D) and facilities management (6D)
aspects of a project.
