Digital Asset Information Management (DAIM): Case studies (Final Case Studies Report, Project 2.51)

Building Information Modelling (BIM), as an intelligent 3D model-based process to inform and communicate project decisions, has received much attention in the design and construction stage of construction projects. In order to promote BIM and other digital engineering technologies for more effective use in informed asset management decisions, the Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc) Project 2.51 focused on a comprehensive review of digital asset management practices, including asset data exchange, asset classification, asset location referencing and asset information requirements. This Digital Asset Information Management: Case Studies is one of three documents produced by SBEnrc Project 2.51 Developing a Cross Sector Digital Asset Information Model Framework for Asset Management. The three documents are complementary: 1. Digital Asset Information Management: Research Report 2. Digital Asset Information Management (DAIM): A Guide and Manual 3. Digital Asset Information Management: Case Studies (this document) This Case Studies report uses current exemplar projects to examine asset management processes across the project’s collaborating industry partner organisations across Australia. These projects were selected against a number of criteria: 1. Coverage of asset types: housing, non-residential buildings and transport infrastructure; 2. Levels of engagement with BIM, from current industry practice to leading edge BIM application; 3. Geographical coverage across Australia.
