What is 6D BIM ?




The construction industry has traditionally been focused on the upfront capital costs of construction. Shifting this focus to better understand the whole-life cost of assets, where most money is proportionately spent, should make for better decisions upfront in terms of both cost and sustainability. This is where 6D BIM comes in. 
Sometimes referred to as integrated BIM or iBIM, 6D BIM involves the inclusion of information to support facilities management and operation to drive better business outcomes. This data might include information on the manufacturer of a component, its installation date, required maintenance and details of how the item should be configured and operated for optimal performance, energy performance, along with lifespan and decommissioning data.

A must read for any Digital Enthusiast : The BIM Managers Handbook

The BIM Manager's Handbook: Guidance for Professionals in Architecture, Engineering and Construction So I'm not usually a fan of reading books, but these days I've been going all out. I've been reading "The BIM Manager's Handbook: Guidance for Professionals in Architecture, Engineering and Construction, by Dominic Holzer" I must say its a hell of a read and really defines the rules of BIM and how BIM has been implemented in the AEC industry. I would definitely recommend this if you want to get a good understanding in BIM, whether you want to become a BIM Manager or just an employee in the AEC and want to gain understanding. I would suggest you read this book. Here is where you can get it from:

These are my Top 3 Books for A.I  For those of you who have read my A.I ( Artificial Intelligence ) Posts and are really interested in AI. Artificial intelligence  ( AI , also  machine intelligence ,  MI ) is  Intelligence  displayed by  machines , in contrast with the  natural intelligence  ( NI ) displayed by humans and other animals. In  computer science  AI research is defined as the study of " intelligent agents ": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal. [1] Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other  human minds , such as "learning" and "problem solving" These are my Top 5 Reads on A.I Number 1: This is one of my favourites.  Number 2: This makes into my number two... a good bed time read..  Number 3 - well suited for 3.0..

Digital Asset Management (AIM) Asset information Model, Live BIM FM

Image
What is BIM?  Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way projects are constructed. Whether you are a prime contractor using BIM across an entire project or a subcontractor impacted by a specific BIM implementation, this emerging practice requires new mindsets and technological know-how in order to achieve significant improvements in efficiency and cost control. BIM is the gateway to completely modernising our industry with the seamless digital exchange of information that is secure and sensitive to the context of each stakeholder in the design, construction and operation of infrastructure and facilities. So what are we doing? We understand that owners require maintaining their buildings. This is why we created Live BIM FM. Live BIM FM is an online cloud based model and asset viewing platform. What does "Live BIM FM" do?  Live BIM FM closes the gap between design and construction BIM. Allow facility managers to access live data, about the Build
