\nInformation Modelling (BIM) Conference at the Surveyors Learning Centre today.
\nThemed “Digital Integration of
\nAdvanced Technology for Surveyors: Challenges and Opportunities<\/b>“, the Conference gathered more than 150
\nparticipants including government officials, business leaders, industry experts
\nand scholars attending both online and offline to deliberate on the prospects
\nof Development Information Modelling used by the surveying industry. Mr CHAN Tak Yeung,
\nThomas, Principle Assistant Secretary (Works) of Development Bureau of the Hong
\nKong SAR <\/b>attended
\nthe Conference as its Guest of Honour. <\/p>\n
\nnew work models have pushed the evolution of surveying industry. Coupled with
\nthe Government’s commitment of building a northern metropolis put forward in
\nits latest policy address, Hong Kong will see a substantial increment in land
\ndevelopment and construction. Facilitating such government strategy will not
\nonly require extensive adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) by the surveying
\nindustry as well as the property development and construction industry, but
\nwill also need comprehensive knowledge of a broader concept brought up at the
\nConference today \u2013 the Development Information Modelling (DIM), and an enhancement
\nin the application of digitalisation and information to cater for a new
\nenvironment and new requirements. With the aim of inspiring participating
\nprofessionals to explore more possibilities, six industry leaders and experts
\nwere invited to the Conference to share and discuss in detail the onward trends
\nand potentials of digital technology.<\/p>\n
\nof the Conference, Mr CHAN Tak Yeung, Thomas, Principal Assistant Secretary
\n(Works), Development Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR<\/b> shared that “BIM has in
\nfact become the backbone of our design and construction works and is a linchpin
\nof all our digital construction initiatives such as Modular integrated
\nConstruction (MiC), Multi-trade integrated MEP (MiMEP), etc., which all rely on
\nthe accuracy of the data of BIM models for automated and computerised
\nfabrication of the construction modules in a safe and cost effective manner.<\/p>\n
\nInstitute of Surveyors<\/b> mentioned, “Unlike previous editions of the BIM
\nConference, this year we have explored a number of related advanced technologies
\ncommonly used by the construction industry such as big data and cloud platform.
\nWe hope that the Conference has inspired industry professionals to make use of
\nthese tools to speed up digital transformation and step up themselves for a new
\ndigital era.”<\/p>\n
\nsurveying industry can adopt and integrate the use of digital technology from
\nmultiple perspectives. I hope that participants can get a comprehensive
\nunderstanding of the possibilities that digital technology presents, and how we
\ncan maximize the speed and efficiency in the development of land, planning and
\nconstruction despite limited resources. The application of BIM should go beyond
\nconstruction phase into the entire land and housing development cycle. The novel
\nidea of DIM will help us step outside the current BIM definition.”<\/p>\n
