BIMe Beta 1 is designed using Chrome (on Windows) as the default testing browser. Accessing BIMe using other versions of Chrome (Mac), Safari, Firefox and other modern browsers will be fully supported in the future. BIMe will also be avaliable on Internet Explorer 8 and some other legacy browsers.
BIM Excellence online beta1 to be presented on May 25, Principal's Stream at RTC2012 Australasia http://bit.ly/RTCabstract
BIM Excellence is now in private beta. Registration module will become active soon for invited users and organizations (www.BIMexcellence.net)
BIM Excellence evaluates the BIM Capability and BIM Maturity of all types of organizations involved in the design, construction and operation of facilities. Depending on the Assessment Level chosen, tens of BIM competencies will be assessed.
These include many technical and operational competencies including the availability and extent of specific BIM deliverables, operational strategies, training plans, modelling standards, exchange processes and collaboration protocols. At the end of each assessment, a report is generated including custom charts to compare the organization's score against benchmarks and previous assessments.
BIMe measures design/construction projects using many consistent metrics specific to each Model Use. Organizations can compare several projects to establish areas where progress was achieved or is still lacking. They can also confidentially measure their project results against evolving industry benchmarks (anonymity of all project results can be fully maintained). BIMe Project Assessments will be made progressively available to selected organizations during Beta 2 (starting August 2012).
Individual BIM Profiles focus on identifying an Organizational Member’s BIM awareness, knowledge and experience. These are quantified through a series of evaluations of technical and non-technical knowledge covering modelling, documentation and collaborative tasks.
BIMe provides a platform to chart individual competencies so these can be compared against organizational, role or project- specific requirements. Through dedicated BIM profiling tools, individuals, groups, organizations and teams can more accurately understand their BIM strengths and weaknesses. During Beta 1, Individual BIM Competency profiling will be made available for limited public testing.
BIMe compares the BIM capability of two or more organizations to test their alignment and/or to pre-qualify them against BIM project requirements. Project Team accounts may be set by a Client Organization for the purpose of establishing model-based compatibility of potential Project Participants. BIMe Team assessments will not be available for public testing.
Building Information Modelling Excellence (BIMe) is a unique approach to measure and improve the BIM performance of individuals, organizations and project teams. Based on extensive research and testing, BIMe uses specialized measurements to identify actual BIM Capability (the ability to deliver a BIM service) and BIM Maturity (how good that service really is). For more information about BIM Capability and Maturity, please refer to BIMThinkSpace.com, Episode 13 (http://bit.ly/BIMEpisode13). The BIM Excellence online platform is still under construction and will be open as a private Beta end of 2011.
