I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all
our delegates and to the return of the CITA BIM
Gathering International conference 2015. Since our
inaugural conference in 2013, the Irish economy
and construction sector has continued to recover at
a rapid pace. This recovery has coincided with the
increased use of BIM in Ireland. Given the proximity
of the UK and the imminent BIM mandate in 2016,
many Irish AEC businesses have responded by
offering their professional services into the UK and
complimenting this with Level 2 BIM expertise.
This year’s conference also coincides with Irish
Design 2015 (ID2015). ID2015 is a year-long
programme with the goal of increasing awareness
of the value of design to everyone from individuals
and businesses to the public sector. The CITA BIM
Gathering fits very comfortably into ID2015 ethos,
as technology plays a key role in expressing great
design in Ireland. BIM facilitates a more complete
and coordinated design prior to commencement
of project work on site, which will lead to better
project outcomes and downstream operational
benefits for end users. A number of high profile Irish
signature projects will feature at the conference,
including DITs Grangegorman education campus
and the newly proposed National Children’s
Hospital.
much of which can be adapted from the UK.
We will be fortunate to hear from world renowned
keynote speakers over the next two days. The
Gathering is unique in many respects, as it
integrates formal peer reviewed papers, invited
industry presentations and vendor presentations.
Over the next two days delegates will hear from
in excess of 70 presenters from both home and
abroad.
We are delighted to see an increase in the number
international papers presented to the conference,
which indicates a growing interest and recognition
of the CITA BIM Gathering as a significant event in
the global BIM event calendar.
I would like to thank all of the participating
partners, the scientific committee, the organising
committee, the authors, the speakers, and most
importantly the sponsors for their continued support
in hosting this event.
Dr. Alan V Hore, Conference Chair
The successful Digital Construction Week in
London (20th – 22nd October) was a significant
milestone for Ireland with the hosting of the
opening reception in the Irish Embassy in London
and the presence of a BIMIreland Pavilion at the
DCW exhibition on the 21st and 22nd October.
The Pavillion was formally opened by the Irish
Ambassador to Great Britain Mr. Dan Mulhall, all of
which was facilitated and coordinated by Enterprise
Ireland. It was great to see first-hand the great work
that Irish businesses are carrying out in the UK and
how they have prepared themselves for the 2016
BIM mandate. The message in London was clear,
Ireland is BIM ready.
During DCW the Construction Industry Council
of Ireland released an important statement of
intent recognising the importance of BIM and, in
particular, the need for a standardised approach,

Scientific Committee
Bill East
Léon Van Berlo
Dr. Alan Hore, Dublin Institute of Technology
E. William (Bill) East is an internationally known
construction management researcher whose career
spans the areas of planning and scheduling, quality
management, and building information modeling. He
developed parametric planning and automated schedule
analysis tools, and provided related consulting services
on Corps’ and Army projects. His 2015 book, the Critical
Path Method Tutor, was published by McGraw-Hill
and available on Amazon.com. East’s Design Review
and Checking System (DrChecks) streamlined design
quality management for public project stakeholders
at the federal, state, and local levels. Most recently,
East invented the Construction-Operations Building
information exchange (COBie)—an international
standard that squeezes profits from an otherwise
wasteful construction handover process. East currently
is Owner, Prairie Sky Consulting where he helps owners
and contractors specify and meet COBie requirements.
Léon is a carpenter by education but found ICT and
the AEC industry equally interesting. Today he is
working for the Netherlands Organisation for Applied
Scientific Research TNO as the leader of the BIM
research and development team. His main research
topic is collaboration in the AEC industry. Léon is the
founder of the open source BIMserver.org initiative, the
BIM QuickScan® and the open source BIM collective.
Recent works are on the fields of BIM json, GeoBIM,
BIM benchmarking and cloudbim technology. Currently
he has a leading role in the development of the Dutch
National BIM guidelines.

building owner and end-user, plus an improvement in
the TOTEX of buildings and physical assets.
With expertise in lean manufacturing, energy and facility
management, Claire knows that the adoption of BIM
practices throughout the entire lifecycle of a building
is the future and will result in a new way of delivering,
occupying and decommissioning buildings that will be
a better place to occupy, cheaper to run, with a smaller
environmental footprint.
David Philp
David Philp joined AECOM in January 2015 as Director
of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for EMEA

Solibri Model Checker helps you find and visualise issues and
problems before and during construction. It will also provide
a wealth of information that can be taken off throughout
the building’s life-cycle and utilised for needs that include
quantification, COBie, area calculation, accessibility and
building code compliance. In the BIM world, we are producing
more data than ever before. If that data is incorrect, we
potentially create more problems than ever before and BIM
cannot deliver on its promise – it really is that simple.

CITA Smarter Building Series 2016:
Building Ireland’s Capability Programme
In 2016 CITA will continue to serve as a neutral meeting place for all stakeholders to
share information and investigate how smart technologies can continue to transform and
modernise the Irish construction industry.
The programme for 2016 will predominately focus on capturing Ireland’s ability to perform
at Level 2 BIM. The programme will focus more on hearing about Irish case studies. The
programme will be designed to complement CitAs recent success in securing the BIM
Innovation Capability Programme (BICP) funded from Enterprise Ireland, which will formally
commence in early 2016.
CitA intend to promote and encourage a programme of activities in the Eastern, Southern
and Western CitA BIM regional groupings.
CITA will once again deliver an interesting and informative series of bi-monthly breakfast
meetings, where attendees can learn about the latest developments and practices, and
network with both industry and academia.
A provisional programme for the CITA Smarter Building Series 2016 is included below.
The programme is intended to be a collaborative programme designed and facilitated by
the CIC in Ireland and its constituent members. Each event will hear from the constituent
representative groups in respect to their strategic position in respect to BIM, guidelines to
their members, CPD training activities, together with a selection of presented case studies
chosen by the event partner.

The programme will also provide an opportunity for the BICP team to update delegates on
the progress of the project.
The 2016 event series will culminate with the return of the very successful CitA Smart
Technology Challenge 2016, where it is hoped that each of the CIC constituent
representative groups would facilitate the nomination of a team to partake in the
Challenge in addition to other teams that CitA hope to attract from both home and
overseas.
