As a consultant of Bakker&Spees I help governments and businesses understand Building Information Management (BIM) and advise them on how to implement open BIM standards. My main goal is to provide these organisations with the tools to be in control of their construction projects and to enhance process management and cooperation. During this approach I also focus on change management to help achieve a successful implementation.I am specialized in the implementation of the open BIM standard VISI (ISO 29481-2:2012). VISI translates project processes and roles into digital workflows and is intended to increase the transparency and traceability of the building process. It also highly contributes to the optimization of quality, efficiency, duration, cost and process management of building projects. Within BIM, VISI is indispensable for legally recording and archiving the entire process.During my daily work I consult (semi-) governments such as ProRail (Dutch Rail Authority), Rijkswaterstaat (Dutch Road and Waterworks Authority), Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Breda, TenneT. I also consult businesses like BAM Infra, Heijmans NV, Van Gelder, Sweco and Arcadis.I have been trained in Dutch Building Contracts such as the traditional UAV2012, STABU and integrated UAV-GC, D&C and DBFM. I also have high knowledge of the Belgian A.U.R. 2017 and FIDIC contracts, as well as the British BIM standards PAS1192-2 and PAS1192-3 (BIM Level 2).As a lobbyist I give advice on behalf of the Dutch software industry to the BIM Gateway Foundation, the knowledge platform and central point of contact for open BIM standards in the Netherlands. I have also had the great opportunity of sharing my experiences on BIM and BIM standards with students during several guest lectures at Universities of Applied Sciences.Besides my consultancy work, I am also responsible for developing and executing the strategic company marketing and brand positioning of Bakker&Spees.
