(August 23, 2013) - A nationwide group of Building Information Modeling users, known as the BIMForum, released the first-of-its kind standard establishing definitions for how complete Building Information Models (BIMs) need to be for different stages of the design and construction process.

For years I’ve been consistently preaching that BIM can be started at any point of a construction project lifecycle and it can be successful. In all mainstream BIM strategies, FM models sit at the end of the chain of Ds – numbered from the 6 th D onwards, following the 3 spatial Ds, cost and time.

Yet, I think that those prepared to analyze and understand the reality of the industry without constantly looking through rose-tinted glasses, and what variations do to all participants on a daily basis will find BIM (in almost any shape or form) useful when tackling variations, regardless of what side of the ‘variation fence’ they may be sitting.

When it comes to BIM, the industry seems to split neatly over two groups: One, a tiny one is made up of those that publicly accept to know absolutely nothing about BIM and are happy to stay as such. The other, a significantly larger group consist of almost everyone else and they are the ones that know ‘everything’ about BIM.
