Definition of BIM – Building Information Modeling – NIBS, AGC, NBIMS, smartBUILDING Alliance, ISO, RICS

Building Information Management

A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition. – NBIMS – National BIM Standard – United States. – AGC. – NBS. buildingSMART.

Collaborative Construction Contracts Drive BIM, not Technology

Job Order Contracting

BIM, the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technologies, holds promise, yet remains elusive to many. BIM is not 3D visualization, nor a single vendor’s software product. Figure 1 LEAN [1] Asset Life-cycle Management. Figure 2 BIG DATA – Facility Life-cycle Management.

BIM Strategy- Why Everything, or Nothing Ever, Changes!

Building Information Management

BIM is the life-cycle modeling and management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Forget the 3D visualization distraction for a moment and let’s focus on the important component of the BIM acronym; the “I” for information. INTRODUCTION.

Why BIM is failing.

Building Information Management

3D visualization is not BIM. BIM is the process of efficient life-cycle management supported by digital technology. BIM requires a more robust linkage (as is the case with JOC) between construction delivery and life-cycle management process and technology, to achieve a similar gain in momentum.

Construction Cost Estimating Trends – 2014 and Beyond

Building Information Management

Major Trends: Shift to life-cycle cost visibility for new construction, renovation, repair, operations, and maintenance. Required use of reference cost data across all sectors. Standard use of visual estimating tools (i.e. Emphasis upon estimate and project sharing, collaboration, and reuse (vs. eTakeoff /BIM/QTO).
