At our recent Construction Innovation 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 an 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
BIM-MEPAUS will also support the Future Infrastructure Summit in Melbourne and Brisbane, alongside Digital Built Environment Institute
