28
Q

What are BIM levels?

A

Level 0

  • No collaboration
  • 2D CAD

Level 1

  • No collaboration.
  • 3D CAD for concept work and 2D for statutory approvals.
  • Information sharing system e.g. 4Projects used, usually managed by the contractor.
  • Standard of most projects.

Level 2

  • Collaborative working.
  • All parties used 3D CAD models.
  • Design information is shared through a common file format, which enables any organisation to be able to combine that data with their own in order to make a federated BIM model, and to carry out interrogative checks on it.

Level 3 (Open BIM)

  • Full collaboration.
  • All parties contribute to a single, shared project model which is held in a centralized repository.
  • All parties can access and modify that same model, and the benefit is that it removes the final layer of risk for conflicting information.

4D – use of data to analyse programme

5D – Integration of cost information

6D – Use of information for facilities management
