BIM4Housing CONTRACTUAL WORKSTREAM November 7th
Our most recent Contractual Workstream meeting looked at competence on a 3-dimensional basis.
As defined by and attendee:
‘’1 Organisational competence, which is effectively the quality management environment that you operate in, it’s the compliance environment, it’s what people are aware of. Do people know how to..? Is your organisation communicating effectively and supervising effectively?.
2 Occupational competences, which is the things that basically you’d be expected to do if you’re a surveyor or dry liner etc.
3 Functional competences, which is the nuance of your own particular role, so within every organisation it’s slightly different what that person might be expected to do.’’
The meeting was chaired by @Martin Adie
The subject of this meeting was Electric Strikes and Security Entrance Systems.
A video and High Points of the meeting are available on https://bim4housing.com/iq-contractual/
BIM4Housing FIRE SAFETY GUIDANCE
Just to remind you, our ongoing efforts can be found on https://bim4housing.com/ at the bottom of the Home page.
We worked on an initial 2 phases. Phase 1 defined the over-arching questions that need to be answered, for 12 fire-critical asset types, to deliver the BIM-plus solution necessary to the effective functioning of the Golden Thread in terms of Fire Safety.
The questions defined are:
- What risks does the asset mitigate?
- To what risks is the asset, itself, susceptible?
- What information is needed about an asset, to ensure it performs as required?
- What tasks/method statements/procedures are required to ensure the asset is installed, commissioned, inspected, and maintained properly?
- What level of competency/training needs to be in place?
- How should product changes be recorded?
Phase 2 sought to answer those questions, offering a definitive guide to the delivery of The Golden Thread through the effective management of required information.
The work is ongoing- we’d appreciate your help.
