Asset Life-cycle Model, Asset Information Model, and Why BIM Won’t Work

Building Information Management

At the end of there day BIM represents nothing new relative to the efficient life-cycle management of the built environment. Sure, software firms, and folks that love 3D and make a living from it will tell you otherwise, but the simple truth is that BIM, as we now know it, can not and will not survive.

BIM, Big Data, and Efficient Life-cycle Management of the Built Environment

Building Information Management

Efficient life-cycle management of the built environment comes down to analyzing large data sets— big data—from several knowledge domains. 3D visualization software products currently promoted as BIM (Building Information Modeling) are not solutions for this task. Collaboration.

LOD – Level of Development – BIM – Life-cycle

Building Information Management

Level of development (LOD) relative to the life-cycle management of the built environment (BIM) should have a solid framework relative to ONTOLOGY. While the definition of “life-cycle” has many permutations, and is likely to undergo ongoing improvement, the relationship to LOD needs to be developed in parallel.

BIM in Chains – Sustainability and Life-cycle Management of the Built Environment Stalled?

Building Information Management

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.

BIM Life-cycle Data is CRITICAL to Facility Management Economics

Building Information Management

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. Roles, responsibilities, and deliverables must be spelled out.
