Buildings, roads, dams, electrical grids… are with us for a very long time and linked to the success and failure of just about everything… education, health, national security, transportation, habitat, sustainability, national and local economies and more. That said, we are not acting as stakeholders of our built infrastructure.

BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Unfortunately, too much emphasis has been placed upon 3-D visualization and other technology components vs. the process of life-cycle management. Consequently, the need for value management emerges.

Most of the time, 4D BIM is seen as an early stakeholder engagement tool. You create fancy animations and visualisations of the built assets coming to life, ultimately presenting a relatively low-fidelity model of the asset you’re creating. Your solution must accommodate technically-minded BIM users, managers, and ground teams.
