- 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
