What a great opportunity to modernise our industry, improve and streamline our processes and build on the great work done by our colleagues on such great schemes as noted elsewhere in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/category\/bim-news\">BIM Today news<\/a> and also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bimplus.co.uk\/projects\/papworths-digital-transplant\/\">BIM+<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What a lost opportunity it is not to have examined, updated and rethought our procurement and supply chain management approach, however. Of course, we do have the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bimtaskgroup.org\/bim-protocol\/\">CIC BIM Protocols<\/a> (revision imminent) and lots of discussion about \u2018the need to ensure each party knows what is required of them\u2019, but when the test is made, how many of us have seen a contract properly executed with the protocol having been fully completed? Well if you have you\u2019re fortunate, but even then, how is this carried into the project and implemented in the spirit of what was intended?<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we have seen a proliferation of new roles having been created \u2013 often quite misleading and confusing, and now the spirited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/accreditation-for-bim-certification\/33903\">certification and accreditation<\/a> debate takes us into another territory concerning the real value and benefit of BIM.<\/p>\n<p>We are all capable of making glib comments such as \u2018start with the end in mind\u2019 \u2013 which is of course true. But it means some really tough and challenging work at those early stages of a project when there is much else going on and often little time in which to do it (including preparing and pricing the tender!). This is where we have to think smart to achieve and be able to secure the project\u2019s main goals and objectives, again often very challenging when many projects are driven by tight timescales and budgets. Nonetheless, there is no avoiding the \u2018devil in the detail\u2019 and to ignore this is to jeopardise those objectives. Of course, project outcomes need to be set and communicated by the client, but then demonstrated and evidenced in a suitable procurement strategy approach and supply chain engagement plan. Is this too idealistic? Too impossible?<\/p>\n<h3>Road to success<\/h3>\n<p>It is in this last area where key steps in the process can be often overlooked, and the following is offered as a practical approach to guarantee your projects\u2019 success:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PAS1192.2 compliance \u2013 It is early days, and while you may be able to convince someone you have an idea of what you\u2019re talking about, supported by some documentation (often blank templates), it doesn\u2019t mean you or the business can actually do it, does it? But understanding the process is of course good. Next is the widespread adoption and implementation across your business, developing the skills needed not only by your BIM team but across all the disciplines, hence building capability, capacity and therefore resilience.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your supply chain \u2013 Who are they, how do you manage them, how are they selected and how well prepared are they? The propensity in our industry is to pass on the risk and responsibility down the chain to probably the least informed and capable. If we want to succeed let\u2019s put some assurance around their engagement.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Regular communication and briefing \u2013 Let\u2019s avoid waving the BIM wand around and then hoping for the best. Rigour and clarity is required.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ensure that sound and robust information is prepared, starting with something approaching an informed* Employer Information Requirements.<\/p>\n<p>(*informed by an asset plan. OK, then \u2013 Asset Information Requirements (AIR) and Organisational Information Requirements (OIR). And, let\u2019s not get hung up on protocol here \u2013 think about \u2018does it do what it says on the tin?\u2019)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Use this information for Prequalification, Selection and Tendering of your supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Approach the supply chain (Tier 1, 2, 3 if you must) on the basis of them being information providers and data transactors.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Test their organisational capabilities, organisational infrastructure and experience in creating, sharing and collaborating around or with models.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you are asking your supply chain for prequalification information (normally in the shape of questionnaires), then have your evaluation criteria in mind. If they are going to put in effort providing you with a qualitative answer, then have a qualitative assessment of that response. A questionnaire in itself provides nothing; an assessment and evaluation of its content by a suitably qualified person will reveal a great deal, and certainly identify any gaps which may jeopardise those all important outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Have a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scottishfuturestrust.org.uk\/publications\/how-to-use-the-bim-compass\/\">BIM Compass<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scottishfuturestrust.org.uk\/\">Scottish Futures Trust<\/a> website; this is a great tool.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll explore the subject further in future issues of BIM Today and on the PBC Today website. \u25a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-34498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_1tim_platts-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"supply chain engagement by Tim Platts\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_1tim_platts-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_1tim_platts-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_1tim_platts-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_1tim_platts-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_1tim_platts-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_1tim_platts-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_1tim_platts-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_1tim_platts.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Tim Platts is a BIM advocate and consultant in BIM implementation and adoption, focusing on supply chain engagement methods and approaches having worked on commissions in the UK, Europe and the Middle East \u2013 articulating BIM maturity and capability measures to \u00a3multi-million clients.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Tim is one of the course tutors for Stroma Certification\u2019s BIM Foundations training course, a one-day programme on the practical application of BIM in the construction industry.
