BIM for Contractors and the Supply Chain

Contractors can gain major advantage from BIM. Our experienced staff can help them navigate its complexities and simplify its application to their business and operations.

From 4D time linking, 5D Quantity Take Off, and 6D Field BIM, through to data management for client driven Facility Management (FM) Information Requirements, our BIM managers can help contractors interpret Employers Information Requirements (EIR) and implement procedures to deliver them as efficiently as possible.

As the industry’s understanding of BIM matures, the wide variety of BIM ‘EIR’ can be confusing for contractors and subcontractors seeking the best ways to meet them. Our BIM managers work with contractors and their supply chains to enhance understanding, challenge requirements when necessary, and produce protocols and strategies for delivering the correct information to the client efficiently – while bringing benefits to the contractor along the way.

Contractors may also be required to provide BIM Implementation Plans as part of bids and tender submissions. We can assist here by preparing clear, usable documents which not only fulfil the EIR, but also provide useful procedures that follow PAS1192-2. These can be used throughout the project to improve the efficiency of delivery.

ONE’s multidisciplinary team can also provide specialist BIM deliverables directly for contractors’ supply chain members, for example, construction co-ordination, clash detection, data attribution and As-Built Models.
