Forget “BIM”, and Get on Board with BLM – Building / Built Environment Life-cycle Management

Building Information Management

BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. That said, BIM has been preoccupied with 3D visualization to the extent that many/most feel that Revit, Archicad, et al are all that’s needed to implement BIM. Enter… OMNICLASS, COBie, MasterFormat, UniFormat … 2.

Life-cycle management of the built environment – To BIM or Not to BIM?

Building Information Management

Buildings, roads, dams, electrical grids… are with us for a very long time and linked to the success and failure of just about everything… education, health, national security, transportation, habitat, sustainability, national and local economies and more. That said, we are not acting as stakeholders of our built infrastructure.

Definition of BIM – Building Information Modeling – NIBS, AGC, NBIMS, smartBUILDING Alliance, ISO, RICS

Building Information Management

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. Building Information Modeling is the development and use of a computer software model to simulate the construction and operation of a facility. – AGC. – NBS.

BIM for Owners = BIM for FM, Building Information Modeling for Facility Managment

Building Information Management

Ok, so we get that 3D visualization is a component of BIM. Design concepts can be beautifully illustrated, and one can relatively easily make a change to the model and the output documents update. the efficient life-cycle management of the built environment. Now it is time to focus on the information in BIM. – ISO.

Why BIM Isn’t Working.

Building Information Management

Stakeholder collaboration (Owners, AEs, Contractors, Subs, Oversight Groups, Building Product Manufactures…) throughout the life-cycle of a build structure is the fundamental element that ultimately drives productivity and better outcomes. Technology is an deployment enabler, and sometime a disruptive catalyst.

A focus upon these and principles associated with the life-cycle management of the built environment would be of far more value than 3d modeling. Adjusting priorities would provide more significant value such as: 1. BIM Technology and Process Road Map.
