When you think of BIM the first thing that pops into your head is a 3D model. That\u2019s fine. You\u2019re only human. And those 3D models look really nice, so we don\u2019t blame you. But, they are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unleashing the true potential of BIM.<\/p>\n<p>We believe what\u2019s really important is the data that\u2019s attached to that 3D model. Data is what BIM is about because every single object in a 3D model can be described by tens or hundreds of pieces of information.<\/p>\n<p>When we first looked at BIM, we didn\u2019t just see a 3D model. We saw the huge potential for swathes of interconnected data held within \u2013 Open Linked Data. We saw a rich semantic web of information that described the asset.<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t build a 3D viewer first. We built a semantic data engine that could understand a BIM model, extract the rich asset information and give us an infinite number of ways to slice and dice it.<\/p>\n<p>By building our BIM platform on top of semantic web technologies we are leading the way to the future.<\/p>\n<p><b>Why do we say this?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Because we think our credentials speak for themselves. Founded in 1998, we were the only Project Extranet (CDE) vendor present on the leadership team responsible for the 2011 BIM Strategy Paper \u2013 leading to the UK Government BIM mandate. In other words, we\u2019ve been working towards Level 2 BIM 2016 for a pretty long time!<\/p>\n<p><b>Semantic BIM<\/b> \u2013 Protect your asset\u2019s future today BIM brings enormous advantages to construction:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 Walk through a virtual model of a building<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 Identify potential clashes before carrying out any work on site<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 View and optimise the construction sequence<\/p>\n<p>And more \u2013 but BIM alone is just scratching the surface of what can be achieved. Semantic BIM accelerates everything to the next level. Asset data is freed from proprietary models and stored in a web of connected data. Information can be queried, analysed and combined with both internal and external data sources, making for better and more informed decisions that are reached rapidly, throughout the lifecycle of your assets.<\/p>\n<p><b>How do we achieve Semantic BIM?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b>&#8211; \u00a0 By communicating information needs to the supply chain<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 By capturing the right data and delivering this to decision makers<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 By linking together data sources for rich analysis<\/p>\n<p><b>BIM Platform Components Common Data Environment (CDE)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>BC 6.3 \u2013 CDE for documents: a highly configurable document management, workflow and project collaboration platform.<\/p>\n<p><b>BIM Data Server \u2013 CDE for models and data: <\/b>manages model geometry and data supporting<b> <\/b>powerful searching across objects and their<b> <\/b>properties.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Process Management &#8211; <\/b>BC Assure: ensures that your projects follow<b> <\/b>the BIM Execution Plan and adhere to your<b> <\/b>processes.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>3D BIM Data Viewer &#8211; <\/b>A fully integrated BIM Data Viewer supporting<b> <\/b>OPEN standards and delivering class-leading<b> <\/b>performance and scalability when viewing IFC<b> <\/b>3D BIM models.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Semantic BIM.
