Bidding Life Cycle Procurement Visualization 
Building Information Management
MARCH 19, 2013
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.

As one might expect topics encompassed; design, procurement, policy and standards, technology, education and culture, success to date, areas for innovation, challenges, and barriers to adoption. A workshop with member from the BIM Academy, NBS, and various other was recently held to postulate on this topic.

Life-cycle cost vs. first-cost focus. Performance and value-based vs. low-bid. BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment with a focus upon total cost of ownership throughout all “construction” phases. BIM is NOT about design.

Cost estimates and construction bid requests should include materials quantities in addition to costs to evaluate and validate GHG impacts. Incorporate life-cycle GHG emissions analysis into DoD MILCON and SRM programs. Consolidation of procurement – lower overhead cost and procurement cost. Recommendations.

Improvements of 20-25%+ on the procurement side, virtual elimination of legal disputes, and significant reduction of change orders are just a few of the benefits provided by IPD and JOC. Low-bid, should most certainly be abandoned unless one is purchasing a commodity and all other variables are consistent.
