At the recent Construction Innovation 2019 Forum, David Mitchell – Chairperson of buildingSMART Australasia – gave an update to announce a Memorandum of Understanding between the Air Conditioning & Mechanical Contractors’​ Association of Australia and buildingSMART Australasia which compliments our MoU with GS1 Australia
The MoU will help design to as-built and design to fabrication workflows and product identification using:
BIM-MEPAUS standards – for design, construction and fabrication workflows
openBIM (.ifc) standards – for information exchange, via IFC mapping files created to export BIM-MEPAUS data sets as IFC files
GS1 standards – for product identification
Further, additional benefits include trace-ability and product authentication to:
Check products against specifications
Identify recalled products
Minimise product failures
We’re also pleased to announce that BIM-MEP AUS has come on board as a Supporting Organisation of the Future Infrastructure Summit in Melbourne and Brisbane, alongside Digital Built Environment Institute.
