Data is the raw material of the 21st century

DATA

@coBuilderUK

So what information do you need?

@coBuilderUK

So what information do we get?

@coBuilderUK

Product Information today

@coBuilderUK

What data do your customers want/need??

They want COBie

They want BIM Objects

They want PDFs

They want just specific data sets that are relevant to them

They want my data in different formats that I cannot provide right now

My clients don't come to me for information about my products

@coBuilderUKSo are required/suggested COBie properties enough/too much?

Type

@coBuilderUK

Component

@coBuilderUKBut what about performance properties, are these needed?

@coBuilderUK

MOJ have asked for COBie plus +

@coBuilderUK

The Plan Language Question - PLQ

I want to run my building with a 10% reduction in energy consumptionWhat data do I need to do this? From which sources (boiler, lighting, pumps etc)So what data do I need from my boiler to manage it and reduce its use or improve it efficiency?

@coBuilderUK

2 Ways of determining the data you want

1 – PLQs – What data do I need to answer a specific question. The problem, you would need hundred if not thousands of questions per project and often you don’t know all the questions you need.2 – Make an educated guess of the data you think you will need e.g. I think the client will want this data – The FM will need these COBie properties and the contractor/client and FM will need these product performance properties – U Value, Fire Rating etc.

Do we need a combination of both?

@coBuilderUKSo how should the data about products be presented?

• The Product Data Template

@coBuilderUK

Manufacturers, SET YOUR DATA FREE!

@coBuilderUK

Product data – where does it come from ?

Construction Products Regulation (CPR)CEN standards

Low Voltage Directive (LVD)CENELEC standards

ISO standardsEnvironmental Product Declaration

OtherREACH, Machinery Directive, ++

Market needsBREEAM, Color codes, Warranty policies etc.

@coBuilderUK

What should be in the PDT and what format?

CEN 442 WG4 Product Data Should be based on hEN and IFC

@coBuilderUKProduct Data Templates (PDT)Moving from PDFs to data

The way to make you data available in machine readable formats

In a PDT a manufacturer could structure:Asset Information Requirements (FM, COBie ++)

Environmental Product Data (EPD)

Data on Chemicals (SDS information)

Specifications (performance, geometry etc.)

What data is needed at different project stages(RIBA, LOD etc.)

A PDT HAS TO BE BASED ON MANUFACTURES DATA!

@coBuilderUK

The Development of the PDT - LEXiCON

@coBuilderUK

PLQs and PDTs

We have the PLQs, we have determined the products we want data for and and we have selected the data that we believe we need for each product.We now have our project PDTs.

What if the manufacturer can’t give you the data?

@coBuilderUK

Can I just use a BIM Object?

Ask the questions•Will it definitely be the product that is installed?•Does it have the data that has been asked for and in the format required?•What level of detail is needed? •Is the object too geometrically rich?

The Knauf Insulation Case Study

Download at: http://gobim.com/manufacturers/

“We have been looking for a future-proof solution, which goes beyond the 3D objects capabilities and will help us meet the demands of our organisation and our partners, without the need for significant software implementation and investment. We have found this solution with coBuilder."

- Stephen Smith, Marketing Manager Knauf Insulation UK.

Is your data fit for purpose?

My product data is created according to national and international standards for construction products.My product is not under the scope of any standardsMy product data is created under a European Technical AssessmentAll my data related to standards is available to my clientsI often get request for product properties that

I don't have at hand at the moment

@coBuilderUKHow do you translate & localise your data to the different markets you target?

I employ a team of translatorsMy local representatives handle data translationsI don't translate/localise my dataI use a software for automatic translations

@coBuilderUK

@coBuilderUKWhat new distribution chanells have you introduced to your business in the last year?

I now offer my product data online (website/e-commerce system)I offer my product data through merchants and wholesalersI offer customised data offers to contractors and subcontractorsI now offer my products as BIM objectsMy products are accessible through software

products my customers use (Revit, ARCHICAD etc.)

@coBuilderUKWhy do you think you are a preffered partner?

I have a steady customer base and I am not expected to change the way I deliver my product-service offer to themMy customers constantly change the way they do business themselves. I try to keep up with those changes in my product/offer.I am up-to-date with the latest trend within the construction sector.

Now it is all about the data. I intend to provide my customers with the data they need

How to create a Product Data Sheet?

In order to create your own Product Data Sheet for a specific product, go to the Products tab in goBIM, then click the Add product button.

@coBuilderUKFirst select the product type and Classification system

This loads the Product Information Toggle  – here you can enter information about your product. Start with the mandatory fields.

@coBuilderUKCreate a well-documented product by Attaching files

goBIM also allows you to attach your 3D objects to your ‘Product Data Sheet’

@coBuilderUKNow you can start digitizing your product’s Properties - neatly allocated in six main sections

This is where you can also create a Product Data Sheet for the product, using coBuilder's predefined Product Data Templates filters. 

@coBuilderUKDefine your products’ properties based on The standards they are tested against and enter the correct values.

If your product can be tested according to multiple test methods or is defined by different stages (environmental properties), please choose one option from the drop down menu.

@coBuilderUK

Creating PDS in goBIM

@coBuilderUKOnce you have filled in all necessary data, you can save the information by clicking the Save and Close button:Once your data is saved:

Under Products Tab you can see all the products you have created in our system. Under Documents Tab you have an overview over all your documents available in the system.

@coBuilderUKA Detailed Product View is then accessible for you to Update and Expire your product’ digital passport

The product view contains the same information as the Products Tab plus the Harmonized standard the product is related to and a definition describing the product type.

@coBuilderUKTo ensure interoperability, your PDT is Mapped to different classification systems. 

Click on the Classifications-tab to view our mapping.

@coBuilderUKYour Digital Product Data Sheet can be now viewed and shared by the supply chain.
