Integrated digital delivery essential use cases

Amended byS 506/2022 wef 30/06/2022

Subregulation 1

The integrated digital delivery essential use cases mentioned in regulations 2 (definition of “integrated digital delivery implementation plan”) and 4B(8), to be adopted in relation to building works of a building, are the following:

(a)

to use digital technology to request information or facilitate communication, in relation to any issue arising from the building works;

(b)

to conduct an integrated concurrent engineering meeting in relation to the building works using digital technology and BIM;

(c)

to utilise a BIM model, a digital 3 dimensional model or an immersive technology to visualise, seek feedback about and validate the design of the building;

(d)

to use digital technology to submit and obtain approval relating to the design of the building or any component involved in the building works;

(e)

to prepare documents relating to the building works based on information primarily generated from a BIM model;

(f)

to estimate costs at various stages of the building works based on information generated from a BIM model;

(g)

to use digital technology to plan the prefabrication production schedule of the building works, and digitally track and monitor the production, delivery and installation of prefabricated components;

(h)

to use digital scheduling to plan and monitor the construction activities of the building works;

(i)

to use digital solutions or digital scanning to track and monitor the progress of the building works;

(j)

to use digital solutions to record the observations from site inspections of the building works and track the necessary follow-up actions taken;

(k)

to use digital checklists or digital dashboards to manage and track the defects of the building works and the rectification of those defects;

(l)

to use digital technology to generate and digitally hand over —

(i)

a digital model of a physical asset that is built as part of the building works; and

(ii)

any other documents relating to the physical asset, including but not limited to the following:

(A)

the as-built records;

(B)

the manufacturer’s specifications and warranties;

(C)

the operation and maintenance manuals;

(m)

to set up a digital platform to integrate other technologies to perform the operations or maintenance of a physical asset that is built as part of the building works;

(n)

to set up a digital platform to monitor the real-time performance and track the key operating parameters of a physical asset that is built as part of the building works.

Subregulation 2

Amended byS 506/2022 wef 30/06/2022

In this regulation, “building information modelling” or “BIM”, in relation to a building, means a digital representation of the physical or functional characteristics of the building.
