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. Required use of reference cost data across all sectors. Standard use of visual estimating tools (i.e. Emphasis upon estimate and project sharing, collaboration, and reuse (vs. eTakeoff /BIM/QTO).

Collaboration, Transparency, Accuracy, Process, and supporting Technology – The Keys to Improved Productivity for Building Construction, Renovation, Repair, and Sustainability

Building Information Management

Even today, many view BIM as 3D visualization, vs. life-cycle building management supported by technology! Drastic culture and process are the requirements for mitigating waste within the AECOO sector. until it shifts its focus exclusively to culture and process change.

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. BIM requires a more robust linkage (as is the case with JOC) between construction delivery and life-cycle management process and technology, to achieve a similar gain in momentum.

The “I” in BIM, OMNICLASS, and the Criticality of Getting it RIGHT…. Now!

Building Information Management

In order to efficiently manage the life-cycle of the build environment, robust process, terms, and decision support tools are required that deal with physical and functional conditions, costs, priorities, risks, etc. A life-cycle vs. first cost mentality/approach for planning, decision-making, and resource allocation.

Construction Disruption – BIM, Cloud Computing, and Efficient Project Delivery Methods

Building Information Management

Emergent disruptive technologies and construction delivery methods are altering both the culture and day-to-day practices of the construction, renovation, repair, and sustainability of the built environment. BIM is the life cycle management of the built environment, supported by digital technology.

Built Environment Life-Management, BIM, LEAN, and Efficient Project Delivery

Building Information Management

Life-cycle Management 101. Discrepancies in construction delivery methods and contracts lead to the failure of BIM, or many/most facility renovation, repair projects. BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. BIM/ BIM EXECUTION PLAN.
