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. Big Data for BIM / Efficient Facility Life-cycle Management.

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.

Construction Cost Estimating Trends – 2014 and Beyond

Building Information Management

Major Trends: Shift to life-cycle cost visibility for new construction, renovation, repair, operations, and maintenance. Integration of estimating with business and procurement “best practices”/business process will be the norm (LEAN, IPD, JOC, BIM). Standard use of visual estimating tools (i.e. eTakeoff /BIM/QTO).

Why BIM is failing.

Building Information Management

3D visualization is not BIM. BIM is the process of efficient life-cycle management supported by digital technology. Over twenty years ago, innovative construction delivery methods such as JOB ORDER CONTRACTING (JOC), a form of INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY (IPD) came into being and have been practiced successfully for decades.
