Asset Life-cycle Model, Asset Information Model, and Why BIM Won’t Work

Building Information Management

At the end of there day BIM represents nothing new relative to the efficient life-cycle management of the built environment. Sure, software firms, and folks that love 3D and make a living from it will tell you otherwise, but the simple truth is that BIM, as we now know it, can not and will not survive.

LOD – Level of Development – BIM – Life-cycle

Building Information Management

Level of development (LOD) relative to the life-cycle management of the built environment (BIM) should have a solid framework relative to ONTOLOGY. While the definition of “life-cycle” has many permutations, and is likely to undergo ongoing improvement, the relationship to LOD needs to be developed in parallel.

BIM in Chains – Sustainability and Life-cycle Management of the Built Environment Stalled?

Building Information Management

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.
