After the launch of the Certification of BIM Managers (CCBM) and Certification of BIM Coordinators (CCBC) under the CIC BIM Certification and Accreditation Schemes (the Schemes) in 2019 and 2020 respectively, the Construction Industry Council (CIC) has certified 668 CCBMs and 812 CCBCs as of 31 May 2024. There are currently 306 CIC-Certified BIM Coordinator (Associate), CCBC(A), registered under the Schemes. Interested BIM practitioners are highly encouraged to submit applications as soon as possible as the application deadline of CCBC(A) will be expired by 21 March 2025. In this webinar, CIC has invited two BIM experts who are also our BIMCAS assessors to share their professional knowledge about Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) and openBIM. They will highlight the areas that candidates need to know for career development as well as for the certification interview. You are cordially invited to attend the webinar to prepare for certification under the Schemes. Webinar Highlights The Latest Updates of the BIM Certification and Accreditation Schemes (BIMCAS) Key Statistics Tips about Application Submissions for CCBM, CCBC and CCBC(A) and Interview Assessment Featured topic 1: Gain the Full Information Value from Understanding COBie and Related Processes Featured topic 2: How open is openBIM? Speakers:- Mr. Sunny CHOI, Manager – Industry Development, Construction Industry Council - Mr. Felix CHAN, Founder, Summit Technology (HK) Limited Mr. Felix CHAN is a firm believer in BIM's potential in advancing the design, construction and O&M practices in Hong Kong and abroad. He is also a strong advocate for BIM culture in projects with diverse clients and in providing BIM consultancy, training, development of BIM standards, technical support and research and development. Looking forward from BIM to openBIM is another mission in Felix's BIM roadmap and he believes that openBIM is leading the second information technology wave to the industry. - Mr. KWOK Tak Wai, Head of BIM, ATAL Engineering Group Mr. KWOK Tak Wai is the Head of BIM at ATAL Engineering Group, where he plays a pivotal role in implementing BIM with engineering analysis and leading the development of digital MEP construction across Hong Kong, Macau, and Mainland China. With over a decade of experience, he has dedicated himself to researching, analysing, and reviewing BIM technologies and services, successfully establishing practical BIM engineering workflows. Mr. KWOK's extensive expertise has enabled him to apply BIM technologies to numerous Building Services engineering projects. Specializing in MEP information management, he is highly regarded for his ability to optimize and automate MEP design processes. - Mr. Kevin WONG, Director, CivilConnect Limited Mr. Kevin WONG is a strong advocate for openBIM, promoting interoperability and collaboration across the industry.

為進一步促進建造數碼化，推廣數碼分身在建造業的應用，建造業議會（議會）於九龍灣MegaBox設立建造業議會數碼分身中心。 數碼分身是現實世界實體和流程的虛擬分身，以特定的頻率和擬真度與現實世界進行同步更新。全新的講座及工作坊旨在讓參與者了解數碼分身的概念、其好處以及在項目生命週期不同階段的應用。 數碼分身講座及工作坊 導賞團 – 數碼分身技術的實際應用及智慧工地安全系統（SSSS）的技術展示 講座 – 項目和組織中採用建築信息模擬（BIM）的準備工作 互動工作坊 – 建築信息模擬檢視器 (備註：未來數月將舉辦更多同類型講座。) 本次活動適合所有對學習數碼分身技術感興趣的人士參加。立即登記數碼分身講座及工作坊，讓您在不斷發展的建築行業中保持領先地位。 參與是次活動可獲3小時持續專業發展時數，電子出席證書將會於活動後一個月內以電郵形式發放予出席者。電子出席證書上的名字會使用報名表的登記名字作依據。 如有查詢，請與蔡小姐聯絡 (電郵: bim@cic.hk; 電話: 2100 9034) 。

To facilitate checking of different floor areas in digital general building plans (GBP) in Building Information Modelling (BIM) format, the Buildings Department (BD) and the Lands Department (LandsD) have jointly commissioned a consultant to develop a common area calculation methodology and plug-in tools of two native BIM software (i.e. REVIT and ArchiCAD) to streamline the data extraction and conduct automated checking of floor areas against the requirements under the Buildings Ordinance and lease conditions (the Area Tool*).The Area Tool, which may also serve as a design review tool, saves time and manpower in verifying numerical accuracy and in updating and rechecking when amendments to the design are required, thereby enhancing quality and certainty of the submissions.In this webinar, representatives from BD and LandsD will brief you on the key features of the Area Tool and demonstrate how the created automation could make the complicated calculation process easy, dispensing with going through a mountain of detailed requirements in regulations/practice notes. They will also introduce the Area Tool's smart functions for automated parameter input, data quality check and batch import of computation results to facilitate the preparation of calculation sheets for GBP submission.Members with job duties involving GBP submission to BD and LandsD should not miss this opportunity to equip yourself with better knowledge on this newly developed BIM Area Tool. *The Area Tool is available in BD Website and LandsD Website for free download and use. Attendees are encouraged to download the tool and template for trial and view the relevant video guides before the webinar. Speakers: Representatives from Buildings Department and the Lands Department Should you have any queries, please contact Mr. FUNG (email: dthub@cic.hk). Remarks: An electronic copy of CPD attendance certificate will be issued to participants with over 80% attendance within one month after the live webinar. Any attendance on replay sessions after webinar will not be considered for CPD attendance certificate. Replay video is now exclusive for i-Club members, please click here to join i-Club.
