The BIM maturity model by Mark Bew and Mervyn Richards
?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) maturity levels 0-3 represent different stages of BIM implementation and sophistication within an organization or project. Each level signifies a progression in how BIM is utilized, from basic to advanced levels of integration and collaboration. Let's delve into the detailed descriptions and differences between BIM maturity levels 0-3:
Level 0 - Unmanaged CAD:
Description:
At this level, organizations primarily use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to create 2D drawings with limited data attached. Each discipline typically works independently, and there's minimal collaboration or integration between different project stakeholders.
Characteristics:
-????????? 2D drawings without embedded data.
-????????? Limited interoperability between different software platforms.
-????????? Minimal collaboration between project stakeholders.
-????????? Lack of standardized processes for information exchange.
?? Difference from higher levels:
Level 0 lacks any form of BIM; it solely relies on traditional CAD practices without incorporating 3D modeling or collaborative workflows.
Level 1 - Managed CAD or BIM in 3D for Design and Construction:
? Description:
At this stage, organizations start utilizing 3D modeling capabilities for design and construction purposes. However, the collaboration remains limited, and the models are mainly used for visualization rather than comprehensive data exchange.
?? Characteristics:
-????????? Basic 3D modeling for design and visualization purposes.
-????????? Limited data attached to the 3D models.
-????????? Minimal collaboration between stakeholders, often relying on file-based exchanges.
-????????? Introduction of basic BIM processes and standards, but still fragmented.
?? Difference from Level 0:
Level 1 introduces 3D modeling capabilities, but the focus remains on individual disciplines, and collaboration is still limited, resembling a managed CAD environment rather than true BIM.
Level 2 - Managed 3D Environment with Data Exchange:
?? Description:
Level 2 represents a significant advancement in BIM implementation, where organizations adopt standardized processes and protocols for collaborative working. Information exchange becomes more structured, and models are shared among project stakeholders.
?? Characteristics:
-????????? 3D models with embedded data for multiple disciplines.
-????????? Standardized processes for information exchange, often utilizing common file formats (e.g., IFC).

-????????? Improved collaboration between project stakeholders through shared models and coordinated workflows.
-????????? Each discipline manages its own model, with defined protocols for integration and coordination.
?? Difference from Level 1:
?Level 2 emphasizes standardized processes and structured data exchange, enabling better collaboration and coordination among project stakeholders. However, each discipline still maintains its own model, which may lead to potential clashes.
Level 3 - Integrated BIM (iBIM) with Full Collaboration:
?? Description:
?Level 3 represents the highest level of BIM maturity, characterized by seamless integration and full collaboration among all project stakeholders. Information is shared in a centralized, cloud-based environment, facilitating real-time collaboration and coordination throughout the project lifecycle.
?? Characteristics:
-????????? Centralized, cloud-based BIM environment accessible to all project stakeholders.
-????????? Real-time collaboration and coordination among disciplines, with simultaneous editing capabilities.
-????????? Common data environment (CDE) for information sharing and version control.
-????????? Integration of 4D (time) and 5D (cost) aspects into the BIM model for comprehensive project management.
Difference from Level 2:
Level 3 focuses on achieving full integration and collaboration among all project stakeholders, breaking down silos and enabling real-time communication and coordination. It represents a more holistic approach to BIM implementation, incorporating time and cost dimensions into the modeling process.
BIM maturity levels 0-3 represent a progression from basic CAD practices to fully integrated and collaborative BIM environments. Each level introduces new capabilities and standards for information exchange, ultimately leading to more efficient and coordinated project delivery.
