BIM Data Management

Data Management for Building Information Management/Modeling (BIM) refers to solutions that facilitate the sharing, control, and management of data, digital assets, and resources throughout various phases of building, plant, and infrastructure projects.

  • Application integration, data aggregation, file-level storage, and visualization.
  • Collaboration tools that aid project communication and coordination within design teams and between consultants, contractors and clients

BIM Design

BIM Design includes all products used in the design stage of building and civil infrastructure projects.

  • Architectural (Arch) Design – software used for the design of buildings
  • Civil Infrastructure – software used for the design and simulation
  • Mechanical Electrical Plumbing (MEP) – software is used for the design and analysis
  • Plant Design – software used for process plant design
  • Structural (Struct) Design – software used for the design, detailing, and analysis of structural aspects

BIM Construct

Construct software includes a variety of tools including collaboration tools that aid project communication and coordination within design teams and between consultants, contractors and clients; estimating tools to enable model-based estimating including quantity take off; surveying tools that provide site layout and modeling capabilities.

  • Pre-Construct – Applications supporting cost, materials and resource estimation including QTO, bid/tender management, project scheduling and sequencing.
  • Site Management – Solutions for monitoring and managing compliance of cost, quality and safety, impact of changes and deviations, monitoring progress, maintaining project schedule, management and documentation of quality control, health and safety.

BIM Operate

Facilities Management and Operations software supports various activities related to the management, operations, and upkeep of the built environment including buildings, campuses, infrastructure, and utilities. Activities include space and workplace management, and the monitoring, tracking, and maintenance of assets to support reliability, and uptime, and optimize asset value.

  • Performance & Assets – a subset of Facilities Management and Operations software that enables the monitoring, tracking, and maintenance of assets in the built environment to support asset reliability and uptime, and optimize asset value
  • Space and Workplace – a subset of Facilities Management and Operations software that supports efficient space management, workplace strategies, and optimization in buildings, campuses, and other real estate applications

AEC-Related Professions

Data from the Cambashi Employment Observatory shows that world-wide there are 8x the number of managers and skilled trades people compared with architects, engineers and technicians. This represents a significant opportunity not only for BIM software vendors but also for businesses looking for further efficiencies as part of digital transformation.

Examples of AEC-Related Professions

  • Architects
  • Civil Engineers
  • Engineering Technicians
  • Draughtspersons
  • Construction Managers
  • Construction Supervisors
  • Skilled Tradespeople

Methodology

Multiple approaches enable consistent, reliable datasets. We use a series of constrain, refine and converge processes to ensure that datasets are consistent with Provider data, Country data, Industry data and Employment data. Check Cambashi Methodology

Release frequency

The Observatory is updated quarterly and available as a “one-off” or through an annualized subscription service.

Years

The Observatory includes data for the current year, 4 historic years and 4 forecast years.
