BIM modelling for building projects is increasingly fashionable, but incorrect specification details on BIM objects are far from popular. \u00a0<\/strong>For verification that BIM objects are of the quality required by specifiers and modellers – the BBA introduces a new service:\u00a0BIM Object Assurance Scheme<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Every day more specifiers are using BIM libraries to populate building design briefs and proposals. So it\u2019s important for manufacturers to know that their products are at the forefront of the selection process by specifiers, and that their brand profile is as recognised as it should be.<\/p>\n

That said, inadequate BIM specifications are frustrating, expensive and unnecessarily time consuming for manufacturers and specifiers alike.<\/p>\n

BIM is a process based on collaboration and trust in which construction project information is created and shared via a digital model. If the data are not correct, BIM potentially can create more problems than benefits. This presents a challenge to construction products manufacturers; they need to demonstrate to specifiers, modellers and sub-contractors that their BIM objects are of the quality required.<\/p>\n

The BBA BIM Object Assurance Scheme has been designed to help address the risk associated with poor BIM object information quality, providing the necessary professional and independent data validation on key product specification areas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does the BIM Object Assurance Scheme work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

BBA BIM Object Assurance comprises two areas. Firstly, it checks the quality of the BIM object as a digital product by looking at its interoperability, data structure and possible data errors. Secondly, it checks the quality of the values found on the product parameter fields in the BIM object. The BBA will check the data and its source before it can be accepted for inclusion into a BBA BIM Object Assurance Certificate. The level of independent data validation follows a similar process used to accept initial data for other BBA certification schemes.<\/p>\n

A BBA BIM Object Assurance combined with a BBA Agr\u00e9ment Certificate puts everything that a specifier needs in one place, reducing the hassle for them and making sure BBA client products stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n
