OCTOBER 1, 2012

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. Sure 3D visualization is a great tool, and a valuable component of BIM… but in itself, 3D visualization is NOT BIM.

The value of BIM lies in the support of efficient life-cycle facility management processes supported by common terms and digital technology. The 3D visualization aspect of BIM is little more than an unfortunate distraction. When will BIM become mainstream? How do you truly prepare for BIM?

BIM, Building Information Modeling, actually consists of three M’s… BIM3 if you will… Modeling, Models, and Management. Major culture change across all stakeholders must take place before BIM can be understood, let alone practiced, on a widespread basis. all in one application.

Most of the time, 4D BIM is seen as an early stakeholder engagement tool. As humans, we rely on visual content to understand and consume information – so why, for example, is the archaic Gantt chart still such a core piece of documentation when it’s something that most people struggle to interpret?

Take BIM for example, or more specifically the “M” For the most part the “M for Modeling” and 3D visualization has been the sole focus and driver as opposed to the “M” for management. Focus upon technology is a costly distraction. The latter has been neglected.
