What is COBie ?

 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 taken occupancy of the building.

BIM D's (dimensions) ?

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.
