BIM, Value Management, Life-cycle Cost Management

Building Information Management

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. INTRODUCTION.

BIM at LOD400: Why Level of Development 400 matters for design and virtual construction

BD+C

At Walter P Moore, our solution is to solve design virtually, by producing a building information model (BIM) at Level of Development 400 (LOD400). By broadening design to anticipate construction issues and delivering a fabrication-ready model, engineers can create more certainty in cost, schedule, and design intent.
