Building Information Management

FEBRUARY 25, 2014

BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. That said, BIM has been preoccupied with 3D visualization to the extent that many/most feel that Revit, Archicad, et al are all that’s needed to implement BIM. RSMeans Strategic Partner.

This fact brought home the realisation, that it is exactly 20 years since I bought my first ArchiCAD licence. Main, modelling tool must be ArchiCAD; Revit is a dog, and if you are not going for Revit for political reasons, might as well go with the best tool still on the market. Again, you must use ArchiCAD. You are welcome.

PDF as a digital file-format is generally frowned upon by those in charge of creation and management of project information within the AEC industry. Some sophisticated Cloud Document Management systems claim to have solved the issue by focusing on the even bigger issue with PDFs that is managing the quantities they tend to be coming in.

BIM is the life-cycle management of facilities (built structures) supported by digital technology. 3D visualization tools, aka Revit, Archicad, etc. You can’t manage what you don’t measure. simply components of BIM. You can’t automate what you don’t understand.

Skeptics will say, that was no BIM, just 3D, but the fact is that I used 3D for documenting full buildings from the first day I learned ArchiCAD (4.5), applied appropriate materials (meta data!) – and jumped on the first opportunity of doing 4D models when I came across, the then extremely buggy and highly temperamental Construction Simulation.

I believe there to be a number of reasons for this to have happen: External forces changed the industry from solution based approach to output focused; Contractual framework, procurement methods, outsourcing, risk management and compliance requirements all transformed drastically. And project managers turned up too.

Using Revit, Archicad, or other 3d modeling software is NOT an introduction to BIM, but rather a component of BIM. Core educational focus must be upon efficient construction delivery business processes (integrated project delivery, IPD, job order contracting, JOC, public private partnerships,PPP) and a robust ontology, vs. technology.

If you bought ArchiCAD you (supposedly) worked more in 3D, were extremely slow in cadding and had no programming skills. One spent all money and energy on retaining monopolistic dealerships, the other cultivated CAD managers as their champions. I chose my horse, they’d theirs.

So sticking to this type of environment should not by itself be paralyzing for the industry.
