Project Name: Strategic Implementation of BIM for Department of Health and Human Services

Completion Date: 31 December 2014

Participating organisation: Department of Health and Human Services (Tasmania)

Project Goals and Objectives: Update information management processes within the Department to capture and manage building information collected during building design and construction (and for existing buildings as practicable) to improve building management, operations and maintenance.

Context:

  • Achieve triple bottom line benefits for the Department through realisation of contemporary best practice BIM practices and processes.
  • Contribute toward the Tasmanian Government’s adoption of the National Building Information Modelling Initiative as proposed in “Climate Smart Tasmania: A 2020 Climate Change Strategy”, requiring from 1 July 2016 that:
    • new construction and major renovations of Tasmanian Government buildings be undertaken using collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic); and
    • asset creation and operating information be based on open standards for information exchange.

Planned 2014 Activity:

  • Complete a pilot project run on a three story car park utilising BIM processes.
  • Migrate agency built asset information to BIM-enabled database supported processes.
  • Test the market for BIM-capable Computer Aided Facility Management systems best able to support the Department’s future needs.

Expected Audience:

  • Senior management, Department of Health and Human Services
  • Tasmanian Government Spatial Committee

Approach, Methodology:

  • Participate with interstate counterparts to identify best practices for implementation.
  • Complete case study on BIM pilot run for construction of three story car park.
