The use of COBie by Alberta Infrastructure (AI) introduces new terms that our industry may not be familiar, such as Asset Information Manager (AIM) and Asset Execution Plan (AEP). Practitioners in our industry will inevitably ask: what are these terms and why are they necessary? Perhaps more importantly, how much more work is involved?
The role of AIM refers to the professional on the design-build team charged with coordinating asset information collection, input and as-built updates to the Province. If the design and build teams are separate entities, we may find that each have a person in the role of AIM acting as the conductor for the digital asset information.
The Asset Execution Plan (AEP) is a process management document that outlines how asset information will be captured, managed and exchanged. It ensures that all bases are covered with regards to what strategy will be used to meet the COBie deliverable.
