BIM is NOT 3D Visualization – 4D, 5D ….

Building Information Management

The efficient life-cycle management of the built environment is critical to both global competitiveness and preserving sustainable resources. Design-bid-build and “low bid” awards are the downfall of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner, and Operations sector. Why is BIM of to a slow start?

BIM ( Building Information Modeling ), Cloud-computing, Changement Management, and Architecture, Engineering, and Construction – III

Building Information Management

Cloud-computing will have a much more significant impact upon how the built environment is managed than 3D visualization. Information drives cost savings and higher efficiency. Additionally real-time, multi-point collaborative access is securely enabled by cloud computing. In short, cloud computing eliminates the need for data silos.

The growing demand for transparency in buildings

Construction Specifier

This includes building controls, lighting, electrical and digital infrastructure, audio/visual (A/V), and other aspects of the structure. However, the case for seeking transparency documentation and proof of optimization for these technologies is evident more so today than ever before.

When is BIM not BIM?

Building Information Management

Unfortunately the AECO sector (Architecture, Engineering Construction, Operations) sector is currently “silo” and “first cost” centric, not to mention relatively technophobic. Major culture change across all stakeholders must take place before BIM can be understood, let alone practiced, on a widespread basis.

The Problem with the UK’s BIM Strategy

Building Information Management

where BIM has stagnated due to an unfortunate focus upon 3D visualization versus building awareness and competency with respect to LEAN collaborative AEC/construction delivery methods. The barriers to positive change across the Real Property Owner and AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) sector remain strong.
