Introduction to COBie BIM Services along with its collaborative work among AEC professionals.

COBie BIM  service is the latest and the next-gen services of the modern construction era. It is one of the modern and newest data formats that is helping and assisting in getting the process of building a model and along with that, the file format is used to streamline the work for the operators, stakeholders, and the owners of the project.  This was the service that was first originated or developed in the USA by NASA and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in the year 2005.  It is one of the processes that is helping to fetch the data and the records of the information that is relevant for the project.

In the year 2007, the service of COBie was developed in the USA by William East of the Army Corps Engineers. This was considered to be the authored pilot standard and the reason for the same was to improve the entire process of handling the information of the building for the stakeholders and operators to manage the work effectively and efficiently. Later in the year 2008, COBie BIM Services were improved to a great extent and this was only because of the adherence to the standards that were created for the data along with its classification.


It was the government of the United Kingdom, who have announced the government construction strategies in the year 2011 to require the level 2 BIM for its project by the year 2016. These are some of the keystones that are required for the development of the project and along with that ensuring that the things are very well-validated and is in control for checking the data that is in terms of the following of the technical compliances with the cost as well as the information of the project.

COBie BIM Service is the format of that exchanges the essential data of facility assets and that is only possible with the process of international standards. The format of COBie demands perfect implementation of the data and that also in the format of the required spreadsheet. This will have the information related to the types of equipment lists, details of the warranties, and maintenance schedules.

Nowadays, the demand for COBie BIM service in the construction process has increased drastically and it is because it is considered as an important phase and a support system. Taking responsibility COBie gives the support for operational work, maintenance work, and asset management that is required once in the building service. The service is a subpart of IFC format and that is very well explained by using various forms of spreadsheets, worksheets, and related databases. It is also considered as one of the most effective tools for the delivery of asset management when the data is been transformed into the 3D BIM Model.


COBie is the part of the project that demands the data requirements that is been listed in the BIM strategy that was declared in the year 2011, in the UK. Later in the year 2019, the UK National Annexe made it compulsory that all the project that is undertaken in the COBie format needs to be given the data with the help of the structured format and that is compulsory. Here is an open format, a non-geometric data format doo can be shared for a successful delivery of the project. With the given set of the format, it is very much easy to get the data that is very much required. The set of data included are the size, shape, scale, and complexity of the project irrespective whatsoever is the size of the project. COBie project allows the process to evaluate the design, its calculation process, along with maintenance work to make it simple and that is possible when shared the data in a correct form that is the required spreadsheet.

For the AEC industries, it is becoming mandatory to adopt the COBie services and this is because the entire project work gets easy and simpler with it. The contractors and the owners are happy to receive the data that they were always willing to have and that also in a properly structured manner. Hence, in this process, the work is actually becoming easy and accurate because it is benefitted to the designers, contractors, facility managers, and many others.

Now proceeding further, let us check for some of the details in-depth to know as to how COBie is important for the project managers, contractors, and facility managers.

The service of COBie has indeed changed the entire delivery of the qualitative data and that too in the format that is very well improved and well organized. With the digital format of the COBie specifications, it is very beneficial to the team of people such as designers, contractors, and facility managers to a great extent.

DESIGNERS :-
The data that is included in a complied form and that too with the set of designs that can match the designer’s drawings it becomes easy and fast for the team to have a great understanding of it. The designers can easily export the COBie data in the desired form and that is possible with the help of the dedicated software. If at all there is any modern design software it can be used for the support of the COBie specification and that will be meeting up to the desired requirements.

CONTRACTORS :-
The contractor here can merge COBie data that is related to the construction of the submitted data effectively. It gathers the information and the data that is making the work very easy and also assists in eliminating the load of rework of copying or re-organizing the data and the information again and again. With the help of the COBie data, the contractors can easily assign the operational and maintenance work in the projects. It overall saves a lot of time of the contractors and helps in getting the survey on the materials and the types of equipment.

FACILITY MANAGERS:- 
With the proper data that is been shared in the COBie format, the work of facility manager becomes easy and convenient to manage the overall operational and maintenance work throughout the lifecycle of the building.

Conclusion:
COBie modeling boosts the coordination of the BIM modelers and with that, the work becomes easier and that too in the form of collaborative way. With the help of the latest BIM technology and the software, all this work has become simpler and easy to understand. Thus if you are looking for outsourcing your project for COBie integration your one-stop destination is Siliconinfo.
