Construction Cost Estimating Trends – 2014 and Beyond

Building Information Management

Major Trends: Shift to life-cycle cost visibility for new construction, renovation, repair, operations, and maintenance. Integration of estimating with business and procurement “best practices”/business process will be the norm (LEAN, IPD, JOC, BIM). Required use of reference cost data across all sectors.

BIM Objects, Data, and Information – More than a 3D Pretty Picture – Soooo Much More!

Building Information Management

BIM objects are much more than just graphical representations. All BIM objects have properties, and most also have geometries (although some do not, for example a paint finish). The specification is part of the project BIM, and objects live in the specification. ‘A new generation of specifiers is being empowered by BIM.

Critical Issues and BIM – NIBS buildingSMART alliance conference – January 7-11, 2013

Building Information Management

The efficient life-cycle management of the built environment will not happen until change management is accelerated. Efficient construction delivery methods (IPD – integrated project delivery, JOC – job order contracting), cloud computing, and BIM are all integral components. Friday: BIM Academic Education Symposium.

How the Brits View BIM – Buildling Information Modelling

Building Information Management

What is BIM? A multi-dimensional tool, Building Information Modelling (BIM) involves generating a visual model of the building which also manages data about it, at the design stage, throughout the construction phase and during its working life.
