Kier’s response to the BIM opportunity

• What do we see as the “BIM” opportunity

• What have we done in response?

• Some of the benefits we are seeing?

• A typical project example

• Our next steps

© Confidential - Kier Construction Ltd

The Benefits of BIM

• Enables better collaboration

• Enables a better understanding of the project

• Exposes many of the issues that can cause delay & inefficiency inc co-ordination

• Enables other processes and tools to be more effective

• Much of the benefit is time related

• Reduces rework, risk and waste and the spent managing poor quality information

BIM will continue to reduce the capital cost as well as enabling further value enhancement of the asset


The Kier Journey

• Started with Leadership

• Vision of the journey a pathway to ERP/Asset Management – consistent scalable process

• A tool to enable repeatable process – BimXtra

• Mandate use of BIM & BimXtra

• BIM Directors, BIM Champions, Super-users, & Administrators

• Strategic Team to manage development, training & rollout

• BIM Implementation Plans on all BIM projects


The value-add of


Bim traX

BIM and

BIM (Better Information Management) is;

• an intelligent 3D set of modelling tools

• that encourages the adoption of collaborative working

• and initiates a flow of data

takes the opportunity of BIM

• Extracts the information from BIM

• to enable lean processes to

• manage the integrated delivery of

• a common source of information that allows

• a right first time approach for the handover

• of a data-rich asset

a Product Delivery Lifecycle Management Platform (PDLM)

The Existing Project Delivery Process

• Poor visualisation/project understanding

• Fragmented systems, dominated by repetitive manual steps, delivers a disconnected un-integrated process

The Benefits of BIM/ for Kier

• Enabling technology – helps to facilitate integrated collaborative working

and drive data driven whole life project and asset management – better projects

• Facilitates better understanding – drives design into 3D which helps

all parties visualise and understand – less change

• Improves accuracy – use of 3D at 1:1 scale drives out ambiguity & improves

accuracy – less rework

• Provides a single source of truth – data entered once, held centrally

and visible to all – less ambiguity

• Drives lean processes – BIM and Kier BIM drive some of the most efficient

processes saving time and money – saves money and time

• Reduces risk – Programme, co-ordination & accuracy, quantity, understanding - almost all

areas are touched by BIM – more predictable outcome

• Repeatable process – Programme, co-ordination & accuracy, quantity, understanding

- almost all areas are touched by BIM – reduces volatility

• Proactive view of causation v reactive view of outcome – BimXtra allows a more proactive view of the issues that can cause additional cost and delay as

opposed to a reactive view of the outcome that is more commonly found in reporting

• Virtual physical proof of concept – the use of BIM inc 3D co-

ordination and 4D simulation allows virtual physical proof of concept


Rollout

• Leadership - is fundamental

• Vision of what good looks like

• Mandate - helps the engagement

• BIM Implementation Plan - sets the rules

• Directors, Champions, Super Users & Users – spreads the word

• The issues are about behaviour

• The benefits are found in every area

• Struggle to save money on the early projects

• BIM tasks can be seen as costs

• Full project engagement is essential

• The benefits are now coming – helps to create the pull


Project Example - WPCoEHS

Why?

• Next step in the application of BimXtra to projects –extending the delivery from design completion to preconstruction & procurement

• Practical application of BimXtra to a mid-sized project

• Circa £15m D&B High School

• Kier £ being spent

• Use on a CLT frame project to manage builderswork –(vertical & horizontal planes to be addressed)

• Fast programme to provide early access for year 7 – right first time – Sept 2013

Achievements on WPCoEHS

• Fully co-ordinated installation model has allowed the CLT builders-work to be factory cut

• FF&E fully integrated as “mini-BIM”

• We have more collaborative & more interactive working

• Procurement has been undertaken directly from the design schedule output

• Positive subcontractor engagement

• Risk & opportunity re-balanced for all

• Platform enabled proactive project management

• Site continues to engage – mobile access now enabled

• Intelligent asset information will be available for handover

Our Next Steps on our BIM journey

• Scaling the application of BimXtra across the Group

• Enabling our Consultants to also get the benefits

• Supporting SMEs accessing BIM

• Joined up multi-project procurement

• Link to Finances/ERP

• True collaboration on a “single source of truth”

• Mobile site connectivity to the source of truth

• FM and Asset Management

• Benchmarking & Big Data!
