THE BIM TOP TEN FACTS:

One:  BIM, in conjunction with Cloud Technology enables efficient building life-cycle management

Two:   BIM embeds robust life-cycle management PROCESSES within technology to enable rapid implementation, scalability, transparency, collaboration and assure consistency.

Three:  The ‘I’ within BIM, INFORMATION, in terms of standardized definitions, data architectures, taxonomies, metrics, etc. is a core component of BIM.

Four:  BIM and CLOUD processes/technologies are disruptive and will alter the AEC sector significantly. Everyone’s role changes, as well as how we work and communicate with each other.

Five:  Owners must take the lead, they pay the bills… period.  Government can play a role relative to mandates.

Six:  Efficient, collaborative, and integrated construction delivery methods are central to BIM – Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Job Order Contracting (JOC).. the latter is IPD for renovation, repair and sustainability projects.

Seven:  BIM is NOT 3-D visualization, however 3-D visualization is a valuable component of BIM. BIM is a combination processes from multiple domains, technology, and product solutions

Eight:  BIM is the integration of CPMS, CMMS, CAFM, ACD (Adaptive Construction Delivery), GIS, BAS, and BPM (bulding product manufactures) methods and data.

Nine:  Software interoperability is a requirement.

Ten:  BIM will make the world of planning, architecture, design, engineering, construction, operations, and maintenance of the built environment FLAT

For MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) construction companies, the BIM (building information modeling) process and CAD (computer-aided design) drawings can help coordinate key systems, eliminating conflicts before construction occurs.

In addition, the data gathered during design can be shared with estimating to save time in takeoffs and reduce rework. MEP contractors can even pull takeoffs, measurements, areas, and volumes directly from the CAD drawing—minimizing data entry. While this can be a good plan, some questions still remain in the specialty market such as: What if you don’t have access to the native CAD drawings?

For contractors with access to only PDF and TIF images, technology exists to pull the data from the images into the estimating system.
