To overcome these challenges, the construction industry must find ways of working that allow them to deliver safe, fit-for-purpose projects faster and with fewer resources<\/h2>\n<p>The reasons for these inefficiencies are broadly common across the industry. According to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ice.org.uk\/news-and-insight\/the-civil-engineer\/may-2019\/breaking-barriers-in-bim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">joint survey<\/a> by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Institute of Civil Engineers<\/a> (ICE) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allplan.com\/uk_en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ALLPLAN<\/a>, incomplete data from different disciplines, design changes and problematic information exchange are highlighted as typical issues engineers face. The root cause of these problems is poor methods of communication among the project team. Without clear and transparent communication between all parties, the benefits of meticulous planning and collaboration cannot be realised.<\/p>\n<p>The industry has been grappling with improving collaboration and overcoming a traditionally adversarial culture for some time. For example, in the UK, the landmark Latham Report in 1994 highlighted the need for enhanced teamwork and led to the development of the groundbreaking and collaborative New Engineering Council (NEC) 3 construction contract. Partnering, joint ventures and early contractor involvement have all emerged in order to foster a more integrated approach to construction, with some success. Yet despite this progress, construction productivity has continued to lag behind other sectors and has even declined in some areas.<\/p>\n<h3>Improved project outcomes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-76953 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ClashDetection-1_web-300x246.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ClashDetection-1_web-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ClashDetection-1_web-768x628.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ClashDetection-1_web-1024x838.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ClashDetection-1_web-696x570.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ClashDetection-1_web-1068x874.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ClashDetection-1_web-513x420.jpg 513w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ClashDetection-1_web-610x499.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ClashDetection-1_web.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/>Digitalisation has since made working together easier, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/innovative-bim-for-bridges\/75658\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Building Information Modelling<\/a> (BIM) driving real change throughout the industry. By providing a method of coordinating works, BIM has increased communication and collaboration and has improved project outcomes as a result. As integrated project information, effective communication and efficient design have become a reachable goal with BIM, it has become increasingly demanded by clients worldwide. However, the ICE survey results clearly show that there are still barriers to cooperation which are hindering progress.<\/p>\n<p>Implementing BIM also comes with business complexities. Questions arise regarding information management and ownership, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allplan.com\/uk_en\/add-ons\/allplan-share\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">project management<\/a> processes, technology implementation and training, financial implications, as well as how to successfully embed BIM within the company culture. Once the decision has been made to transition to BIM, there are issues regarding how to manage the coordination of works with internal and external parties, as well as the best way to collaborate.<\/p>\n<h3>OpenBIM enables interoperability<\/h3>\n<p>An openBIM solution can help overcome these barriers. OpenBIM is a vendor-neutral, collaborative process that uses open standards and workflows to facilitate interoperability. It results in enhanced collaboration by ensuring each party can use the software of their choice while still being able to share data with any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/allplan-2019\/60773\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BIM-compatible software<\/a>. By using open, internationally recognised standards, the data that is shared between project teams is not partially lost due to file incompatibility. Instead, the model and the information it contains is shared in its entirety, so other disciplines can use it to inform their own work. Not only can better decisions be made, but less time is wasted finding or recreating information, improving efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>A project collaboration platform can address the other issues that arise when implementing and using BIM. These tools ensure that any BIM implementation is successful by overcoming concerns about project management, information management, change management, coordination and collaboration. They allow project teams to share models and information in a transparent environment while retaining control. Data can be viewed in real-time, so the entire project team has access to the most up-to-date information when they need it.<\/p>\n<h3>Bimplus as an openBIM platform<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-76954 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Project_Navigaion-1_web-300x246.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Project_Navigaion-1_web-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Project_Navigaion-1_web-768x628.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Project_Navigaion-1_web-1024x838.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Project_Navigaion-1_web-696x570.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Project_Navigaion-1_web-1068x874.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Project_Navigaion-1_web-513x420.jpg 513w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Project_Navigaion-1_web-610x499.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Project_Navigaion-1_web.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/stakeholders\/allplan-bim-solutions\/35357\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ALLPLAN\u2019s<\/a> project collaboration platform, Allplan Bimplus, enables project teams to combine and visualise model data to identify clashes and manage design changes effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Any proposed changes can be visualised and compared before being confirmed, enabling informed decisions to be made earlier in the process. In turn, this reduces the risk of errors and discrepancies within the project and mitigates the impact of the changes. Bimplus uses an approval process workflow for sharing models based on the international ISO 19650 standard, so even global teams are working to the same standard of information management. The database structure used by Bimplus allows the platform to do more with the information, such as assign attributes and object information, and run clash detection checks or simulations. As an openBIM solution, information can be read by all the project participants irrespective of the file format used, ensuring no information is lost due to file incompatibility.<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allplan.com\/references\/open-bim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">openBIM project<\/a> collaboration platform can hold the key to fully unlocking the potential of BIM.
