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. Collaboration and longer term relationships are primary components of JOC an will be required of BIM.

Forget 3D visualization, life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology, BIM, is all about people, process, and competency-centric technologies. If your organization is serious about BIM, here are some areas to consider! Life-cycle strategy vs. first-cost.

Building Information Modeling is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. BIM goes well beyond geometry, spatial relationships, light analysis, geographic information, quantities and properties of building systems, assemblies and components. So, how do we address BIM?

If one had to name the single most important aspect of BIM, I would select the project delivery method. Examples of collaborative methods are Integrated Project Delivery, IPD, Job Order Contracting, JOC, Public Private Partnerships, PPP, etc. Equally important is a life-cycle view vs. first cost mentality.

Building Information Modeling, BIM, is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. As such, the core requirements of BIM include collaboration, standardized information, multiple domain competencies, and several supporting interoperable technologies. Why is BIM of to a slow start?

BIM, building information modeling, is defined as the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. However, far too much time, effort, and other resources have been allocated upon the 3D component of BIM vs. the fundamental integration of requisite competencies and processes.
