Hi Konrad.

Thank you for your quick answer.

Yes, now I understand what you mean. I was happy when I found your blog because it lets to see some of a “naked truth” about BIM implementation. I am doing BIM Management course and it feels a little bit too academic to me. At the end of the day, when you try to confront all standards and definitions with reality, it looks like nothing works properly.

Maybe it is just my impression, but it seems like instead of becoming easy and controlled process it is getting more and more complicated. Especially in Architecture, where apart of change resistance, there is also a lot of “BIM is taking away my creativity” 🙂

Hello Natalia!
Thank you for your comment, which is very relevant in this case. The ‘one source of information’ is a requirement while using BIM on ‘Level III’. I agree that it would be best to execute all projects in this way. The example which I showed was taken from a real project and is based on the following assumptions:
– In practice, especially on first projects on which companies want to introduce BIM, they usually prefer going gradually from 2D and traditional way of working to BIM ‘Level II’. (*BIM level II is described as ‘file based collaboration and library managment’).
– On many contracts there are still no requirements to use BIM on level III. One of the reasons is that the clients do not know what they actually need and are not capable to use all of that information even if they get it.
– On some contracts, the client requires use of their own database as a way of communication between the client and the contractor. This gives us one additional platform on which we need to mirror all of the information.
– Although many software suppliers will claim that they have solution for everything, using just one platform for whole project was not, until recently, possible. It was necessary to have some kind of mix of different programs.
Thank you again for your comment and I would be glad to hear from you if you have any more feedback!
Best regards,
Konrad Naborczyk from BIM Corner

In my opinion it should be created in the way that there is one source of information with access for all involved in the project. Otherwise, how do we avoid discrepancies between, for example, Designer´s Cloud and Contractor’s Cloud? It would be great to understand better yor idea.
