Why BS 1192 2007 Its the British Standard

Why BS 1192: 2007? • It’s the British Standard and code of practice for “Collaborative production of architectural, engineering and construction information”. • It’s the code of practice on which several other standards build on, including PAS 1192 -2 and PAS 1192 -3. • It defines the following for all graphical data, non-graphical data and documents. – – • The process and structure of a Common Data Environment (CDE). BS 1192: 2007+A 2: 2016 The file and container naming convention. The revision coding convention. A practical implementation The status coding and suitability naming convention. Daniel Taylor-North - Director It’s a BIM Level 2 requirement. 10 th May 2016

Why now? • 4 th April 2016 – The Government deadline which requires all government building and infrastructure projects in the UK to be PAS 1192 -2 compliant. – This includes BS 1192: 2007 compliance. • BS 1192: 2007+A 2: 2016 – Published January 2008, Amended October 2015 & April 2016 – So what has changed since the first publication? • File and container naming (i. e. Zones and Assets = Volume or System). • File type codes for drawings, models and documents. • Revision codes (i. e. D 1 -D 4 now retain minor version P 0 n. 0 n). • Suitability categorization (i. e. Graphical Data, Non-Graphical Data and Documents). • Status codes and suitability naming (i. e. S 6, S 7, CR and AB). • Efficient WIP management is still a huge challenge. – Engaged with our customers, several architects and numerous experienced individuals across various industries to identify the challenges.

What are the main challenges? • Education and training, “all our users need to be experts in BS 1192”.

What are the main challenges? • Education and training, “all our users need to be experts in BS 1192”. • Limiting mistakes and rework, as status and revision codes change.

Facts & Figures Scenario 1 – Manual process with BS 1192 workflow. • Assume each gateway action takes 10 mins and an average charge out rate of £ 50/hr. • A sample project was measured and 5, 500 gateways found (a gateway = a single document creation and any further revision and status changes). • Cost of wasted time approx. £ 46 K. Scenario 2 – Manual process with BS 1192 workflow and enforced revision and status changes through the approval process. • Assume each gateway action takes 10 mins and an average charge out rate of £ 50/hr. • Strict enforcement of revision and status changes through the approval process. • The number of gateways increased by 50% to 8, 250. • Cost of wasted time approx. £ 69 K. NB: There is also a cost due to lack of production while following these manual processes and also a loss of additional fee paying charge out rate. This could lead to a doubling of the above cost to £ 92 K and £ 138 K respectively. Scenario 3 – Automated process with BS 1192 workflow. • Gateway time reduces to 2 minutes. • Cost is £ 14 K, which is a saving of £ 55 K per project over the manual process in scenario 2.

What are the main challenges? • Education and training, “all our users need to be experts in BS 1192”. • Limiting mistakes and rework, as status and revision codes change. • Uploading to various clients’ extranet CDEs whilst maintaining your Shared and Published IP. • Ensuring BS 1192: 2007 compliance and auditable management information. • Implementing the standard across multiple applications (Revit, AECOsim, Auto. CAD, Micro. Station and Office).

Project specific challenges. • Generating and managing snapshots of multiple Revit projects for sharing and publishing, including managing the status and revision codes. • Exporting IFC files for multiple Revit projects for uploading into a client’s extranet CDE. Sheet specific challenges. • The sheet number parameter is unique, so we can’t have: PR 0004 -OPT-00 -01 -DR-A-0001 & PR 0004 -OPT-00 -02 -DR-A-0001 • Sheets need to be created up front, all need unique drawing numbers and potentially across multiple Revit projects. • The model is live, therefore so are the sheets. – Can’t just update the Status and Revision codes prior to sharing and publishing a sheet, as the model and/or composition may have changed. • The exported DWG and/or PDF, require their Status and Revision codes updating prior to sharing and publishing.

What are the main challenges? • Education and training, “all our users need to be experts in BS 1192”. • Limiting mistakes and rework, as status and revision codes change. • Uploading to various clients’ extranet CDEs whilst maintaining your Shared and Published IP. • Ensuring BS 1192: 2007 compliance and auditable management information. • Implementing the standard across multiple applications (Revit, AECOsim, Auto. CAD, Micro. Station and Office).

What is the solution? • Automate BS 1192: 2007 – Fully automated file naming, suitability naming, status and revision codes. – Managed Common Data Environment (CDE) workflow processes. – Structured Work In Progress, Shared, Client Shared, Published and Archive management. – In session and automated application integration. • Integrate and automate Revit without getting in its way.
