6.30pm - Dave Bain, Christchurch City Council - The CCC BIM Position Statement

Following the recent release of CCC’s position statement on BIM, this presentation will focus on the work now underway to implement the use of BIM (Asset Information Management) across council. It will also cover the work we are doing with our industry partners to deliver automated compliance checking and a portal for visualising our the BIM models and the asset data they contain.

6.45pm - Matt Duder, EBOSS - National BIM Survey Results

The sixth survey in this series (extended from previous five) has been completed this year, taking another snapshot of the state of BIM uptake across the New Zealand Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry. Matthew Duder from EBOSS will present the findings of this year's survey, taken across a broad spectrum of the NZ industry, including designers, construction companies, and facility owners and managers.

7.00pm - Glenn Jowett, Beca - Pukete WWTP Asset Information Model

The multi-award-winning Pukete Wastewater Treatment Plant Asset Information Model project takes the complex and very relevant problem of collecting, integrating and maintaining information about existing asset stock. It breaks this problem down into smaller, palatable chunks and addresses each component of the problem though the implementation of several technologies. This is underpinned by trust and true collaboration between Beca (the consulting team) and Hamilton City Council (the client).

This presentation will cover each component of the approach and the final solution, including the challenges that were faced and the benefits that were realised.

7.30pm - Q&A followed by networking, drinks and food at Winnie Bagoes
