BIM MATURITY ASSESSMENT ROADMAP MATURITY DEVELOPMENT TO ACHIEVE STAGE By Paula Mota, Management Consultant, Assystem Introduction
Background
Building Information Modelling (BIM) manages project-related information to coordinate multiple inputs and outputs, using shared digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of any created object (3D Model).
The assessment identification came from questionaries, examined from the standard components: People, Politics, Process, System, and Data.
In May 2011, the UK government published the Building Strategy to reduce the cost of public sector assets by up to 20% by 2016. Since then, the mandate has made it necessary for public-procured projects to meet Stage 2 BIM maturity at least.
Projects need expertise and quality resources to be delivered; they can only succeed when the right people work effectively as a team. Identifying skills shortages provides the opportunity to decide on a strategic training programme to close gaps by upskilling existing staff.
People
Civil Engineer and Architect and Urbanist. Master by the graduate program of Architecture, Technology and City. Professor of the Master International specialization course in BIM Management - ZIGURAT E-learning. Managment Consultant at Assystem. BIM Manager at SIPPRO with over 14 years of experience with virtual construction and BIM implementation, being active in the construction market, and extensive experience in several works. Researcher and Consultant of the BIMe Initiative, being one of the responsible for the project MU 4040 - Model Use Template.
Systems Software systems help form the backbone of a strong, efficient project control capability. However, these depend on the processes and people to use them effectively. The research focuses on understanding existing systems to identify gaps. The main goal is to minimise disruption to existing systems by maximising the utilisation of existing systems in the transformation.
Data
Figure 1: ISO 19650 graphics depicting BIM stages. Source: ISO 19560 - 1 BIM Stage 2 maturity is a series of federated and collaborative domain models. Models, consisting of geometric and non-graphical 3D data, are prepared by different parties during the project life cycle in the context of a Common Data Environment. Using proprietary information exchange across multiple systems, project participants will have the means to deliver defined and validated results through structured and reusable digital transactions. To establish the current stages of these capabilities across projects, a Maturity Assessment is essential to assess whether relevant standards have been met.
Policy The organisation are involved in mandating, regulating or facilitating the adoption of innovative systems/processes across the industry. Policies are created to educate practitioners, conduct research, allocate responsibilities, minimise conflicts and regulate the delivery of facilities.
Process The organisation can optimise its ability to deliver projects successfully by consistently applying robust processes. While existing processes may mature for the existing setup, transformation to Digital Engineering may require aligning current plans, workflows and procedures.

The data is the basis for all presentations, visualisation, information exchange, and collaboration. Consistent data (i.e. correct and validated data) requires committed people, well-defined processes and integrated systems. With these aspects, the data can be accurately and reliably extracted to be transformed into information and knowledge.
