Field specific variables, such as weather, on-going operations, soils conditions, security, safety, site lay-out, environment protections and other contexts must be considered as well as the means and methods of work execution. A “FACEBOOK for Facilities Construction and Life-cycle Operations” is on the horizon.

Building Information Management (that’s right forget the “modeling” distraction), BIM, is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Change management is likely the most significant barrier to entry for BIM, as other issues are trivial in comparison. Simple right?

These factors include… poor formal and professional education in the domain, low investment in research and development, deep rooted project culture, perceived long life-cycle of associated return on investment, resistance from construction projects’ participants and stakeholders, and lack of real property owner leadership and competency.

First and foremost BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Construction cost estimating, and facility life-cycle cost estimating are critical components of any facility design, project delivery, repair, renovation, sustainability, or planning function.

What good is a CMMS system into which an Owner inputs their own experiences without comparison to industry averages, best-practices, or any third party metrics? … The sad part is, there is a lot of information out there on efficient life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology.

They do NOT limit creativity, but simply provide a more robust environment. Any objective comparison can easily reveal associated pros and cons. My thought is that many construction cost estimators, just like many architects, engineers, contractors, and owners are “victims” of their environment.

While cost estimating has traditionally focused upon initial costs, a life-cycle perspective generally provides greater value. Construction cost estimates are provided by a professional estimating firm either as part of the design team or as an independent party contracted with the construction firms or directly for the agency/owner.

There are far too many variables involved in the “life-cycle” of a repair, renovation, maintenance, or new build activity for the comparison to provide ANY valid indication of “accuracy” of the construction estimate. This is clearly foolish. Tools and services that support the above are readily available.

Real property are the stewards of the build environment. As one might anticipate lack of education, awareness, and capability, with respect to life cycle management of the built environment and/or total cost of ownership management, are the primary causal factors, as well as, resistance to change which is endemic to the sector as a whole.
