BIM is not “rocket science”, but simply the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Putting the 3D visualization distraction aside, savvy Owners have been practicing BIM for decades. That is BIM. Roles, responsibilities, and deliverables must be spelled out.

BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. That said, BIM has been preoccupied with 3D visualization to the extent that many/most feel that Revit, Archicad, et al are all that’s needed to implement BIM.

Many/most Owners do not have the knowledge, capability, or organizational buy-in to support life-cycle management of the built environment. Far too often focus is upon first-costs vs. life-cycle costs. Communicate that fact, and the associated major benefits of a life-cycle approach, or you aren’t doing your job!
