Abstract: Queensland is one of the first Australian State Governments to actively support BIM and in April 2017 released a draft policy on Building Information Modelling, including Open BIM as defined by buildingSMART Australasia. The scope is to include all Queensland Government departments, agencies and statutory authorities, including all vertical (e.g. buildings such as hospitals and schools and linear infrastructure (e.g. roads and railways). Although Open BIM has been with us for many years, its main focus has been on Buildings and Structures (Vertical BIM), and not Civil projects (Horizontal or Linear BIM). This is particularly evident if one looks at the current International Open BIM format, Industry Foundation Classes (ifc’s). However Queensland has been at the forefront in the development of BIM for Civil projects and in 2006, TMR, Project Services (Queensland Department of Public Works) and 12d Solutions were active participants in the Interoperable Standards project for the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Construction Innovation. The IPWEA in Queensland has also been responsible for the creation and wide spread use in Local Government and Water Authorities, of one of the first Civil BIM formats, ADAC.XML. This presentation will look at how Surveyors and Civil Designers have been using Digital Engineering/BIM on many Civil projects since the 1980’s. It will also examine the fundamental differences in BIM for Buildings and BIM for Civil projects. And it will explain how Digital Engineering/BIM was addressed in the past, and cover the progress currently being made by BuildingSMART International to include Civil BIM in the Open BIM format, ifcs.
