Here are some links I have found\u00a0 helpful.<\/p>\n
Standards and guides, a bit\u00a0 NZ focused. There are other standards such as COBie and Uniclass and others. They come and go with fashion. I have seen too many people get over absorbed and waste time trying to shoe-horn some definitions\/elements into a class etc. Generally, pick one, go with it, alter it to suit the needs of the client\/your own office standard or a Project standard. Don’t get too bogged down by them, they’ll change with time and then you have to re-adjust our data to the new criteria.<\/p>\n
In the BIM environment everyone has a specific office BIM tool, in NZ the 2 main contenders are Revit & ArchiCad while some have Vectorworks.<\/p>\n
I prefer and have learned Revit as it has both MEP and Structural Tools so allows for design\/coordination with structural and services design teams without buggering around with converting to IFC’s or other workarounds.<\/p>\n
Since I am in this environment I have come across some nice add-ins that are either free or reasonably inexpensive that have made my job easier for data capture from Revit to populate datasets for AM\/FM.<\/p>\n
A few consultants end up using Revit OOTB (out of the box) with no add-ins. Usually the IT department want to control the process and have office standards, a bit too draconian and inefficient in my opinion. This is not a method to enhance productivity or increase efficiencies.<\/p>\n
