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.

BIM is not “rocket science”, but simply the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Putting the 3D visualization distraction aside, savvy Owners have been practicing BIM for decades. That is BIM. BIM is a process more than anything.

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 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.

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.

Most of the time, 4D BIM is seen as an early stakeholder engagement tool. You create fancy animations and visualisations of the built assets coming to life, ultimately presenting a relatively low-fidelity model of the asset you’re creating. Your solution must accommodate technically-minded BIM users, managers, and ground teams.
