3D visualization is not BIM. BIM is the process of efficient life-cycle management supported by digital technology. Over twenty years ago, innovative construction delivery methods such as JOB ORDER CONTRACTING (JOC), a form of INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY (IPD) came into being and have been practiced successfully for decades.

As to BIM, great at the moment for 3-D visualization and some aspects of project delivery, but a child that’s still growing. Tools that claim to integrate ERP with IWMS and/or BIM… well… good luck with that. Is this capability a component of any turnkey ERP/IWMS/BIM platform… of course not.

Building Information Modeling, BIM, is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. As such, the core requirements of BIM include collaboration, standardized information, multiple domain competencies, and several supporting interoperable technologies. Why is BIM of to a slow start?

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. I am “mad as hell” at how 3D visualization vendors have marketed BIM. Sure 3D visualization is a great tool, and a valuable component of BIM… but in itself, 3D visualization is NOT BIM.

At its core, change order is work that is added or removed from the original contractor’s scope of work, as agreed upon in the contract signed by the client and contractor before work began. In fact, it’s not a contract amendment. Better designs, visualizations, and communications help improve change order management.
