BIM Level 2 benefits measurement (2018)

Overview

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) were commissioned by Innovate UK to develop a Benefits Measurement Methodology (BMM) to measure the potential benefits from applying Building Information Modelling (BIM) Level 2 to public sector infrastructure / capital assets and write a subsequent benefits report on the application of this BMM to public sector capital assets, detailing the estimated project / asset level benefits arising from the application of BIM Level 2.

The authors work in applying the BMM to the two public sector assets has led to a number of conclusions and lessons learnt, and thus implications for further measurement work.

Geographical scope

United Kingdom

Non-quantified impacts

Two key challenges were found when applying the BMM to estimate the benefits of BIM Level 2 for the two assets:

  1. Obtaining the level of stakeholder engagement required / supporting data to estimate benefits
  2. Deriving an appropriate and likely counter factual from stakeholder input, for use in quantification

Quantifiable impacts

Case specific: Commission’s projected public sector funded infrastructure spend of GBP 31.7 billion in 2018/19, this implies savings to UK taxpayers of GBP 226 – GBP 429 million (in GBP 2017 prices).
