[Music] hi everyone i hope you are well in this short video i will share very useful information about pen maturity levels looking for bim jobs in the industry you have probably seen bim level 2 as a requirement for some of the bim coordinator or bim manager jobs bim maturity levels are a part of building information modeling standards that are widely recognized in the construction industry there is a link between them maturity levels and bim dimensions which is covered in one of my videos these two terms are not similar but deeply connected so let's see what's bim maturity levels are and what we mean by bim level 1 bim level 2 and bim level 3. bim maturity refers to the richness and level of data included in a bim model as well as different dimensions applied in a project shared across and maintained by different stakeholders the bim maturity model was first introduced by mark buu and mevin richards in 2008. i have simplified the model to explain various spend maturity levels clearly as we go from level 0 to level 3 bim the richness and level of data integrated into the bim model increases more dimensions of time cost and beyond are incorporated into the bim process and we see more collaboration amongst different stakeholders so bim maturity is also related to the type level and depth of collaboration in a project let's get into details of hbm maturity levels and learn more about them level zero beam is the use of 2d cad drafting techniques in a project it is barely a bim process as there is no collaboration between different stakeholders so no collaboration simple 2d drawing similar to drafting with cat level 1 bim refers to the use of digital tools to produce 3d and 2d architectural and construction drawings it involves file and data sharing using a common data environment known as cde in level one bim collaboration between different disciplines is non or partial so level one bim is about 3 and 2d drawing advanced file sharing strategies no or partial collaboration between different stakeholders in 2011 the bim level 2 concept made its way into the uk government standards based on uk 1192 a series of national standards and publicly available specifications in the uk level 2 bim is mandatory for publicly funded projects level 2 bim involves the production and manipulation of data beyond 2d and 3d to incorporate the fourth dimension of bim which is time and the fifth dimension of bim which is cost [Music] level 2 beam is the process of working collaboratively with various stakeholders it includes advanced file sharing interoperability and common file type many important bem terms such as bem protocol bim execution plan model federation and common data environment appear predominantly on level 2 bim [Music] let me just expand on the common data environment concept all advanced bim tools have the capability to be exported into an open source common file format such as ifc industry foundation class or kobe construction operations building information exchange [Music] so imagine a large construction project that involves many stakeholders from different countries working with different bim software packages using the ifc file format will allow them to share the building information stored in a common data environment without losing data or having to remodel the building a team working with autodesk revit can pass the file to another team that works with vectorworks or tecla or any other bim packages [Music] therefore to implement the bim process in a project does not mean that all the stakeholders should use a similar software package instead we can export our building information to an open source file format like ifc [Music] level 3 is a relatively new concept in the world of fim even though it is extensively discussed in research and academia it is yet to be defined in the construction industry level 3 is the bim utopia where a full collaboration takes place using one single central shared model that contains all building information and everyone in the project has access to it this concept which is also referred to as open beam minimizes the interferences and maximizes the coordination between different disciplines in a construction project [Music] in another video i talked about different bim dimensions let's recap the bim dimensions beyond 5d which appear on level 3 beam the sixth dimension of bim extrapolates energy use and sustainability using 60 we can assess our building against various energy rating systems 7d focuses on facilities management and life cycle analysis of the building as well as building maintenance the eighth dimension of bim explores safety in buildings it incorporates building safety security and emergency plans so there is a link between bim dimensions and bim maturity levels although they are different terms just to recap level 0 bim discusses drafting 2d drawing and in level 1 bim we also have 2d and 3d modeling level 2 bim discusses more dimensions of bim like time and cost and level 3 beam incorporates all different dimensions of [Music] bim level 3 bim is actually very interesting having one single model of the building that contains all building information assists us to understand and manage a building throughout its life cycle it pushes us one step closer to the delivery of smart cities services and greets the incorporation of real-time data and the creation of a digital twin from the building let's see the bim maturity level model again to recap bim maturity is about richness and level of data different bim dimensions and a level depth and type of collaboration in a bim project [Music] i hope you have found this video interesting and informative for those of you who are about to start a wonderful bump journey one step at a time and you will get there feel free to use the comment section to share your comments and suggestions or ask any questions don't forget to subscribe to our build evolve
