Adopting a collaborative approach on BIM projects allows RLB and the design team to produce mutually beneficial results and improved deliverables for a project.

They will highlight a quantity surveyor’s input into the BEP, information requirements from the designers and common issues that regular pop-up in BIM models.

6.40pm - Andy Lyon, KiwiRail – Digital Engineering Programme Director

One of the key areas where KiwiRail is increasing its focus is digital connectivity and innovation by increasing its digital platforms and capability. The KiwiRail BIM pilot was developed to help KiwiRail to realise this goal, with objectives including;

• PROVIDE INFORMATION TO EVERYONE To democratise data (e.g. technical design models, laser scans) and drive data-based decision making.

• CREATE A DIGITAL FOUNDATION WE CAN GROW FROM To raise the standard on project delivery through the use of BIM and other digital innovations, and provide KiwiRail with a strong foundation of meaningful data and digital engineering knowledge that will allow us to expand and grow.

• LEARN AND SHARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF INDUSTRY To share experiences, learnings, and innovations with the industry in an open and collaborative way.

Andy will share KiwiRail's progress to date.
