From BIM to DIM (deconstruction information manager)

There are two distinct strands to the development of DIM. The first is in relation to new build projects that have already benefited, or will benefit, from BIM. The data array captured at the design stage will provide the starting point for deconstruction, which, for the sake of risk management and truly sustainable construction, ought to form an integral part of design thinking for every project going forward.

But aside from adding DIM to BIM information for new-build projects, the most interesting challenge rests in developing DIM for existing structures. Where there is good as-built information it is likely to be possible to digitally transfer this to a BIM/DIM system which can then offer robust data for deconstruction purposes.

Vade Mecum for Off-Site Reuse / Manuaal materjalide taaskasutamiseks

Extracting reusable building components from to be demolished public buildings was long handicapped by uncertainty on how to organise such an operation while respecting all requirements for public tendering.

But no more excuses, today Rotor launched a Vademecum that explains in detail how to set things up. From simply getting rid of a few unnecessary barriers to actively stimulating reuse practicers, public commissioners are given a broad set of options on how to start doing what common sense demands: recirculating high quality components, earning money on sales and in avoided demolition costs, and creating local jobs in the process. The document includes a dozen template forms and example tenders allowing for an easy and fast implementation.
