Efficient life-cycle management of the built environment comes down to analyzing large data sets— big data—from several knowledge domains. 3D visualization software products currently promoted as BIM (Building Information Modeling) are not solutions for this task. Collaboration. Evidence-based Management. Granularity.

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.

Many/most Owners do not have the knowledge, capability, or organizational buy-in to support life-cycle management of the built environment. Remember… the built environment is critical to your organization. Far too often focus is upon first-costs vs. life-cycle costs. Focus upon maximizing ROI in your costliest areas.
