Understanding the Asset Information Datasheet

Note

This is a in-depth explanation of the Asset Information Datasheet.

  • For conceptual explanation of what are Assets & Spaces, please Click Here.
  • To understand conceptually the differences between Requirements & Information, please Click Here.

Asset Information refers to data produced by the Design Consultant, that is linked to BIM models representing individual Assets. It includes populated information about the Asset Instance, linkage to the child Spaces, and assoication to the Asset Requirement.

The attributes captured typically include Category, Name, Description, Data Type and Unit of Measure (UoM).

The purpose of Asset Information is to enrich BIM models with assoicated data that can be managed and referenced consistently through the design delivery and review process. This data supports downstream analysis and ensures the Asset instances meet NEOM design rulebook's requirements.

Datasheet Breakdown

!Asset Information Datasheet Breakdown

Fig. 1 - Asset Information Datasheet Breakdown

1. Category & Attribute Requirement at Stage and Sector

The first row contains the category of an attribute for classification purposes. In the Figure 1, the category shown is Identity and these will differ from attribute to attribute.

The following are the existing cateogries:

  • The DB category is for tracking and identification of Assets within the AII platform.
  • The Parent category tracks the Parent & Child relationships between Assets and Spaces.
  • The Identity category tracks the identity codes, names, and cateogries of an Asset.

The second row contains information whether an attribute is mandatory to be filled at the current stage and for the current sector. The values can be either REQUIRED or NOT REQUIRED.

2. Attributes

The first row of Section 2 (as shown in Figure 1) contains the name of the attribute as reflected in the AII platform. The attributes have either the prefix INS_ASSET to differentiate between Requirements attributes and Information attributes.

The second row contains a text description of the attribute for information purposes.

The third row contains the data type expected for the attribute.

3. Data

The data section will contain the actual records of an Asset. i.e., the values of the above described attributes belonging to a specific Asset that has a BIM model.
