The BIM-based consenting revolution is coming:
The ACABIM system, developed by Compliance Audit Systems (CAS), is set to revolutionise building design compliance auditing. ACABIM enables human-guided, automated compliance auditing of building information models against legal documents such as the Building Code and Standards. Proof of concept has been delivered in a project with Christchurch City Council and official release of ACABIM is set for 2019.
Construction sector hampered by lack of basic technology skills:
An excellent article from stuff.co.nz on a new survey indicating that many New Zealand construction firms are struggling with even the uptake of basic digital technology, at a time when construction is booming.
New Zealand Asset Metadata Standards are now available online:
Of particular interest to BIM users is the Residential Housing and Light Commercial Buildings Metadata standard which provides information for dealing with any public asset owner. The document outlines the requirements for the submission of all digital data that relates to newly constructed residential and light commercial buildings in New Zealand. The standard aims to facilitate the sharing of asset information enabling interoperability, consistency and confidence to make evidence-based decisions.
