“The benefits using BIM in conjunction with the Siemens Building Operation System – bOS (Digital Lifecycle Core – DLC) which runs the Digital Twin and is able to take Live Data of buildings in operation. The bOS is the open middle layer platform which manages all the datapoints and the Live Data in the BIM model centrally and provides the possibility to share it with all applications top. This is crucial for the building IT operation, that you can really easily deploy new applications which need live data […] CAFM.
Later on visualization presented direct in a 3D model, the Digital Twin.”

IMPROVING BIM WORKFLOWS
What is the point having a professional BIM Execution Plan, organizing the data drops, defining the level of Details, levels of Accuracy, levels of Information if the providers are heaving a headache to generate the data in an efficient way. Basicaly the Clause can be inserted in the IDM information Delivery Manual during the DESIGN phase, but during the PROCUREMENT phase it makes most sense. For late adopters, the workflow can be adapted later on during the ASSEMBLE phase or even the OPERATION. Main advantage would be to let the suppliers provide the necessary informations as early as possible on “one shot”
IFC DATA EXCHANGE and INTEROPERABILITY
openBIM HOW TO POPULATE A MODEL OR A DATABASE.
What is the point in gathering loads of information during the life cycle of a building project and the following asset management with linked maintenance and facility management. Interoperability can only be achieved when all systems speak a common open language – ifc
Why BIM Columbus ?
Because we like to be thinking out of the box. When Christopherus Columbus organised his journey across the Atlantic Ocean, he did it differently and discovered a New World in 1492. We love his story with the EGG which gave us inspiration for the name of our BIM Clause. And we love the saying that “For those who are patient even EGGS can fly…”
We got translation help from all over the World to spread the word for a simple and efficient BIM from Design, Procure, Asemble and Operate activities !

Please find hereafter an EXTRACT of the BIM Columbus clause for the various languages. It is the first part. The complete clause in all languages will be published once the Students works at the High Engineering school of Fribourg heia-fr.ch will be approved (normally on 24th June 2019). Furthermore this innovation is part of the submission process for the BIM Awards 2019, with an expected feedback end of June 2019. Let’s cross fingers !

MEET THE BIM Columbus TEAM (ifcActor)
Professor and architect, experiences architect and a real estate lawyer were the perfect match :
Sylvain Vernez
Architect - BIM manager
Student at the Haute Ecole d’Ingenierie et d’Architecture de Fribourg (Switzerland)
Thomas Doering
Master of Law - BIM manager
Student at the Haute Ecole d’Ingenierie et d’Architecture de Fribourg (Switzerland)
Redouane Boumaref
Architect - Professor HEIA
Professor at the Haute Ecole d’Ingenierie et d’Architecture de Fribourg (Switzerland)
We delivered very early, during the Design phase, the electronic BIM Files of our Kigo panels to the project team. They could carry out their collision checks, coordinate with the electrician the distances between them for further access during maintenance and the duct fixings to avoid any trouble during the assembly. A very smooth and efficient workflow.
