In the Digital Engineering (DE) space I provide training, specification and RFT writing, tender assessment, project management of DE (DE Manager) , project advisory support and other consulting. See also the testimonials in the Ref’s tab and see the Services tab
BIM Means Building Information Model or modelling or management of your information using BIM tools.
My focus is on information management using computer tools (hence the word "digital"); not limited to 3D but usually 3D based, wherever practicable.
Whilst DE is more than BIM (also includes GIS and a lot of other things), for simplicy on this web-page I've emphasised BIM.
I’m approved as a DE Manager (ref ISD 176396) on the Transport for NSW Digital Engineering Panel

GENERAL VIDEOS - BIM CONCEPTS AND TERMINOLOGY BASED ON PAS 1192.2 - SEE ALSO THE VIDEO BELOW RE ISO19650 AND UNICLASS 2015
Here are some links to very short You Tube videos I recommend:
1. From Pencil to BIM https://youtu.be/0J0d-LjInEU credit Autodesk and Geospatial World
2. Top 10 BIM acronyms https://youtu.be/iHMPkJkHZAY credit B1M Channel
3. PAS 1192.2 Information Management (using BIM) for capital delivery phase (includes design and construction through to handover) https://youtu.be/wRc2vG7IeYo credit B1M Channel
4. CDE Common Data Environment (PAS1192.2 also calls this (on Page vi) Collaborative Data Environment which I think is a good name) https://youtu.be/EJbn16ww8Yw credit B1M Channel
5. EIR Employer Information Requirements (some don't like the word "Employer" and use "Project ER" but employer is not suggesting a contractual employer - employee relationship) https://youtu.be/VwMe2cM8t_M credit B1M Channel
6. BIM Maturity Levels (e.g. Maturity Level 2 not to be confused with LOD Level of Development or Level of Detail (see Top 10 acronyms)) https://youtu.be/8ZN0WydybQI credit B1M Channel
7. PAS 1192.3 Operations and Maintenance https://youtu.be/WtB0yUN2KlI credit B1M Channel

10. ISO19650 and Uniclass - approx 60 minutes. copy and paste this link: https://youtu.be/viaSm9f2k9Q
11. Infraworks Advanced Road Design tutorial - very simple and easy to follow. It will give you an idea of what can be done especially relevant to Constructability Workshops, HSiD workshops, Strategic Options Design and Concept Design https://youtu.be/CH27vARGcuM

2A SECTIONING - CUTTING CROSS SECTIONS USING A FREE VIEWER
As design manager on many projects (M7 & M5-East motorways, Hong Kong sewerage tunnels and treatment plants, Singapore underground metro stations and tunnels and so on) I review and approve thousands of drawings. It’s always a concern that sections and details created using 2D CAD might not exactly match plans and other drawings also drawn in 2D. But not any more! BIM with 3D provides a single source of truth and any section must be consistent with every other view of the same data. However I have not been able to find Autodesk guidance or YouTube videos to show the simple but essential task of sectioning to create cross sections and long sections or in fact any section you wish. I’ve created my own video, which I hope you’ll find useful. Please provide me with feedback regarding this video and any others you would like me to create. I used Navisworks Freedom but other viewers will do the same job.
2B FEDERATED MODEL EXAMPLE AND USE OF NAVIGATION TOOLS
Here’s a video I made to explain the federated model and to show a few navigation tools (orbit, look around & walk)

3. TRANSPORT FOR NSW
Here are links to Youtube videos that can be found via the Transport for NSW (TfNSW) Website:
TfNSW video launching their interim Digital Engineering Framework (DEF) September 2018
Submission to TfNSW Connecting Smarter awards Sept 2018 for capabilities of DE. A Youtube “unlisted video” submitted by Norman Disney and Young (NYD) regarding Westconnex M4 East tunnel Digital Engineering for CSJ Design Joint Venture. Emphasis is on tunnels services design however the relevance of DE to civils design can be easily seen.

4. UK GOVERNMENT MANDATE MAY 2011
Here is a link to "The UK Government Mandate" May 2011 gov.uk construction-strategy . Look at the 495 Kb document, Clause 2.32 on Page 14 where collaborative 3D is mandated as follows: "(UK) Government will require fully collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) as a minimum by 2016." The descriptor says "The (UK) Government Construction Strategy is the framework for a range of workstreams, all of which have the ultimate aim of reducing the cost of government construction projects by 15-20% by the end of the current Parliament."
