BIM Revolutionizing South Africa’s Built Environment: From Rural Bridges to Smart Villages
L
5:01Lwazi ManqeleHOST
So just to give you a little bit of a background, in South Africa, when we adopted
T
5:05BIM, using software is like Revit, which allows us to create this information models, right? Initially, the industry moved over from like a 2D flat environment to producing 3D models for like quite a long period, right? And what that created in the industry, you'd have, surprisingly enough, you'd have architects with different standards, right? So let's say, Loazi, you own a couple of malls or shopping centers.
T
5:36You'd receive this shopping center in a different format, right? from another, and then your second shopping center will come in a different format.
T
5:45At the end of the day, you wouldn't be able to manage, you'd eventually be able to manage your buildings, but that's a lot more effort to run your buildings because you don't have a standardized set of information that you're receiving.
T
5:57So what happened in the industry a while back, like I think almost 10 years ago in the UK, the government mandated a standard.
T
6:07to control this information that's being received in a built environment, right? That obviously trickled globally and became an international standard for digital delivery.
T
6:19ISO 19650, right? The standard forces, architects, engineers, et cetera, to follow system to deliver information.
