technologies, processes and policies enabling
multiple stakeholders to collaboratively
design, construct and operate a facility

It is practically impossible to jump from pre-BIM (the status
before BIM implementation) to full BIM capability in one step!

A number of intermediary stages separate no BIM from ‘full’ BIM.

Pre-BIM Status
Before the implementation of BIM,
organizations are still dependent on
manual and 2d CAD tools and
processes.
Tools similar to AutoCAD® and
MicroStation ® are prolifically used to
generate scaled drawings and details.
(Succar, 2009)

(Succar, 2009)
BIM capability is acquired through the
successful implementation of an ‘object-
based software tool’ similar to Revit®,
Archicad® and Tekla®.

These tools can generate five types of
model based deliverables and are used to
generate single-disciplinary models within
either design, construction or operation –
the three main Project Lifecycle Phases.

Typically 2D documentation is still the

At Stage 2 players acquire the ability to
collaborate with other disciplinary
players. Collaboration occurs through an
interchange (interoperable exchange) of
models through ‘proprietary’ formats
(e.g. RVT and NWD) and non-
proprietary formats (e.g. IFC).

collaborate with other disciplinary
players. Collaboration occurs through an
interchange (interoperable exchange) of
models through ‘proprietary’ formats
(e.g. RVT and NWD) and non-
proprietary formats (e.g. IFC).
However, at Stage 2, collaboration
between different disciplines is file-
based and one-to-one. This keeps
stakeholders isolated in their silos with
disjointed supply chain workflows.

network-based
integration
integrated models
(not necessarily a single model)
At this capability stage, data-rich
models are created, shared and
maintained collaboratively across
Project Lifecycle Phases.
This integration can be achieved
through ‘model servers’ (using
proprietary, open or non-proprietary
formats), Cloud Computing, or SaaS
(Software as a Service).
BIM Stage 3 models are
interdisciplinary models allowing
complex analyses at early stages of
virtual design and construction.

We can measure the Extent of BIM
Diffusion across a market by looking at:
How many companies are at each
of the three BIM Capability Stages:
Modelling
Collaboration
Integration
Is the market still focusing on
technology only or is attentive to
BIM processes and BIM policies?

Sample BIM Roadmap v0.2
47. Dr. Bilal Succar | Milan | April 20, 2016 Slide 47OICE INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON BIM
the Policy Development Plan – in three phases:
1st Phase: INITIATION of Task Group + Framework
2nd Phase: CONSULTATION with industry
3rd Phase: EXECUTION of framework through a roadmap
48. Dr. Bilal Succar | Milan | April 20, 2016 Slide 48OICE INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON BIM
1st Phase: INITIATION
A. Establish a Task Group1 based on a clear Vision of what needs to be accomplished
1. Develop a clear Task Group Mandate with a limited set of activities
2. Identify Task Group Resources at its disposal to deliver the mandate
1 The task of establishing the Seed Task Group falls upon the ‘volunteer champion’ or the
‘designated driver’. The champion is moved by a vision (of excellence), while the Driver is
moved by a government dictate or as a response to higher-level change agenda or framework.
This is a partial and generic sample of a phased BIM policy
development plan. It will need to be extended and
customized to meet the requirements of each market.
B. Task Group to develop a seed BIM Policy Framework based on Model B
1. Investigate Similar Worldwide Policy Efforts within and outside the construction industry
2. Identify a Policy Approach to Adapt based on market similarity, local culture and resources
3. Identify the market’s Diffusion Dynamics based on Model C
4. Decide on the Policy Approach based on Model D
C. Initiate an Online Presence for sharing Task Group activities (e.g. a website)
49. Dr. Bilal Succar | Milan | April 20, 2016 Slide 49OICE INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON BIM
A. Engage with Stakeholders as per Model E
1. Conduct Presentations to communicate the Vision/Framework and capture feedback
2. Identify Champions for the Execution Phase
3. Review and Calibrate the BIM Policy Framework
2nd Phase: CONSULTATION
This is a partial and generic sample of a phased BIM policy
development plan. It will need to be extended and
customized to meet the requirements of each market.
*For each identified Policy Deliverable, decide whether to Adopt
Existing2 (e.g. an international standard), Adapt Existing (tailor to
market requirements), or Develop New Policy Deliverable
C. Publish Roadmap (with a view to update it on a cyclical basis)
B. Develop a BIM Policy Roadmap for implementing the framework (refer to sample):
1. Identify Key Dates and intermediary Milestones
2. Identify Policy Deliverables* and link each to Milestones (e.g. develop an Education Framework
by Feb 1, 20xx)
3. Identify the Stakeholder Group to Lead, Support or Participate in each Policy Deliverable refer to
Diffusion-Role Matrix
50. Dr. Bilal Succar | Milan | April 20, 2016 Slide 50OICE INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON BIM
3rd Phase: EXECUTION
A. Initiate Pilot Programmes to test Policy Deliverables (e.g. conduct a pilot project)
This is a partial and generic sample of a phased BIM policy
development plan. It will need to be extended and
customized to meet the requirements of each market.
E. Develop a Certification and/or Accreditation Programme
D. Develop Educational Programmes, Competency Inventories, etc.
C. Develop BIM Guides, Protocols and Mandates (refer to Knowledge Content Taxonomy) – examples:
1. A Model Contract to enables model-based Collaboration and network-based Integration
2. Develop a BIM-centric Procurement Guide
B. Encourage or Incentivise Stakeholder Groups to adopt the BIM policy
