The NBIMS-US™ v4 is a consensus-based national-level standard focused on defining standard approaches and guidelines to defining requirements, planning BIM adoption, and exchanging information between project team members. MORE
COBie is successful when all project stakeholders are involved. These include the architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers, tradespeople, commissioning agents, and the facility owner. Each has a role in providing – in the COBie standardized digital format – information related to the maintainable assets of that facility during the project. This data is delivered at specified milestones in the project, culminating in a full delivery at project handover.
COBie has typically been used for building design and construction projects but can also be used for infrastructure projects or to transfer facility ownership from one party to another. Throughout this document, facility is used to include both building and infrastructure assets.
| ID | CHANGE | REASONING |
|---|---|---|
| 09.01 00.14 | Data Fields Renamed Renamed the “ComponentNames” data field to “Component.Name”. | To align with the new naming convention. |
| 00.08 | PartOf Added new “PartOf” data field as a reference to other records in the data table, it will be color coded as orange. | Allows for relationships between records in a data table, so that some records may be a part of another. |
The figure below shows the comparison between the data fields in V2.4 and those in V3 for this data table. The gray text along the top of V3 does not display in the data tables and is shown to better understand the new organization of the data fields.
