Application of Building Information Modeling for Plan Review and Approval in e-Government Eunice Lee International Code Council

Purpose To provide information on how IT in an egovernment environment can change the way we design buildings and apply building regulations

Expected Outcome To understand how automated code compliance checking with building information models can work in an egovernment environment

A Keystone to Change - BIM A multi-dimensional digital representation of a building containing its physical and functional characteristics … a shared database of intelligent information about a facility that can be maintained over time, which … stays with the building over its entire lifecycle … can be used by everyone involved … must follow an established standard if BIMs are to contain needed information in a usable format

Questions to Consider What if you could create a design and get instant feedback on code compliance?

What if you could get plans approved in a matter of days or hours?

What if the design team and regulatory agencies were able to more fully collaborate in real time?

What if building owners, developers and building regulatory agencies provided incentives to use BIMs?

Start with a Strategic Plan Vision: Protecting the health, safety and welfare of people by creating better buildings and safer communities Mission: Providing the highest quality codes, standards, products and services for all concerned with the safety and performance of the built environment Values: Customer value Integrity and trust Member-focus Professionalism Public service Quality

Foundation for a Strategic Plan Philosophy

Teamwork Communication Collaboration Transparency Efficiency Interoperability

Purpose Implementing e-government, such as e-permitting and eplan review, and automated code checking in an interoperable environment that supports buildingSMART

Vision Vision – Streamlining the design and plan approval process Designers apply for a building permit and submit a building information model (BIM) for review Regulatory agencies provide coordinated and automated plan review, determine compliance and issue a permit Designers receive approval of most buildings in less than a week without leaving the office

Goals 1. Create an IT infrastructure that supports the use of BIMs and e-government 2. Promote public and private sector use of the infrastructure 3. Increase availability of open source software programs to support the administrative aspects of e-government 4. Make open source software programs able to support technical options such as auto code checking

Building Regulatory Compliance in the Future

Integrate Efforts with FIATECH Capitol Projects Technology Roadmap

Integrate with FIATECH Roadmap Share plans electronically Have 2D plans evolve to BIMs Conduct auto reviews in 3D and 4D Apply IT via Strategic Plan Develop new building regulatory methods and processes using new technology BIM = ready access to data

Beyond Plan Review End goal: make an up-to-date BIM available as a data resource for emergency responders and others to use during the life of the building ƒ Use the BIM as an information resource to capture change orders, construction information and commissioning data to yield an as-built BIM ƒ Keep the BIM up to date so that it accurately represents the building once operational, and serves as a resource when issues arise
