BIM Maturity Levels Overview

Introduction

• Presentation about BIM (Building Information Modeling) maturity levels
• Importance of understanding these levels for BIM jobs in the industry
• Connection between BIM maturity levels and BIM dimensions

BIM Maturity Definition

• Refers to the richness and level of data in a BIM model
• Involves collaboration among different stakeholders
• Introduced by Mark Buu and Mevin Richards in 2008

Levels of BIM Maturity

Level 0 BIM

• Use of 2D CAD drafting techniques
• Minimal collaboration between stakeholders
• Essentially non-BIM process

Level 1 BIM

• Utilizes digital tools for 2D and 3D architectural/construction drawings
• Involves file and data sharing using a Common Data Environment (CDE)
• Collaboration is non or partial among disciplines
• Focuses on advanced file sharing strategies

Level 2 BIM

• Gained prominence in UK government standards (UK 1192)
• Mandatory for publicly funded projects
• Involves collaboration and manipulation of data beyond 2D and 3D
• Introduces 4th (time) and 5th (cost) dimensions
• Key terms: BIM protocol, BIM execution plan, model federation, CDE
• Allows for interoperability via common file formats (e.g., IFC, COBie)

Level 3 BIM

• A newer concept in BIM, often discussed in research
• Envisions a single central shared model accessible to all stakeholders
• Promotes full collaboration, minimizing interferences
• Related to smart cities and digital twin technology

BIM Dimensions Recap

• Beyond the 5D model (which includes time and cost), Level 3 BIM also incorporates:
  • 6D: Energy use and sustainability assessment
  • 7D: Facilities management and life cycle analysis
  • 8D: Safety in buildings (security and emergency plans)
