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.

Forget 3D visualization, life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology, BIM, is all about people, process, and competency-centric technologies. Collaborative, efficient, integrated construction project delivery methods – integrated project delivery, IPD, job order contracting, JOC.
