 What are EIR's ?




  • The Employer's Information Requirements (EIR) is an important element of a Project BIM Implementation and is used to set out clearly to the Project Team or Supplier what information is required generally and at each project stage.

  • It establishes the BIM framework for a project so that everyone involved understands their own and others information responsibilities. 

Benefits of developing an EIR :-

  1. Handover Data - Obtain the structured asset data that you require in the format.
  2. Collaborate - Establish the project teams, the project meetings and the information required to make the meetings effective.
  3. Compliance - EIR is a Level 2 mandatory requirement.
  4. Communicate - Detail how information and documents will be named, where and when they will be stored and shared.
  5. Efficiency - Focus your design team on the critical work.
  6. Checks - Check that the design is meeting your brief. 
  7. Quality - Obtain model quality reports to catalogue errors and understand what information is missing.

BIM D's (dimensions) ?  – 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D, 8D. 2D BIM  – 2D drawings (with x & y axis) & documentation, views, plans, etc. 3D BIM  – shared information model used for visualization purposes, coordination, etc. 4D BIM -  (4D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE) adds an extra dimension of information to a project information model in the form of scheduling data. 5D BIM -  (5D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE + COST) assemblies with time schedule constraints and then with cost-related information. 6D BIM -  (6D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE + COST + MAINTENANCE) assemblies with all aspects of project life-cycle management information. 7D BIM -  (7D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE + COST + MAINTENANCE + SUSTAINABILITY) optimizes asset management from design to demolition. 8D BIM  - (8D = 3D + TIME SCHEDULE + COST + MAINTENANCE + SUSTAINABILITY + PREVENTION) for accident prevention through Design.

What is Asset Management ?

Image
  What is  Asset Management  ?  Asset management is defined as the coordinated activity of an organization to realize value from assets. The availability of appropriate and reliable information about assets is vital for effective asset management as it supports decision making, planning and execution of activities on assets. By providing a structured framework for the creation, collation and exchange of information about assets, BIM supports effective asset management. Thus, BIM must provide information covering the whole life cycle of assets. Benefits of  BIM  in  Asset Management  are :- Reduced project start-up costs. Reduced construction and operational costs. Better life cycle management. Reduced management process costs. Greater clarity on long-term in-service performance expectations and the consequences of design-stage decisions over life cycle performance and cost.

What is COBie ?

Image
  What is  COBie  ? COBie -  Construction Operations Building Information Exchange. COBie  is an international standard for building data exchange & most common use is in product data handover from construction to operations. The most common representation of  COBie  is the COBie spreadsheet . The idea behind  COBie  is that the key information is all pulled into one format and shared between the construction team at defined stages in a project. COBie  helps organizations to electronically capture and record important project data at the point of origin, including equipment lists, product data sheets, warranties, spare parts lists, and preventive maintenance schedules. This information is essential to support operations, maintenance and asset management once the built asset is in service. Replacing reliance on uncoordinated, often paper-based, handover information typically created by people who did not participate in the project and delivered many months after the client has take
