Summary
What Is BIM?
Definition
• BIM is the move from analog to digital
design and construction. A model-based
technology linked with a database of project
information - AIA
• Construction is
the only industry
that does
not/cannot test
a design before
production
2D vs. 3D
2D
• Traditional drawings
3D
• BIM
3D - Installed
• Actual
4D Example
• The Sundt Corporate Office
4th Dimension - Time
• Each element in model tied to CPM
Schedule
• Construction sequence can be simulated
showing conflicts between trades
• Play “What if ?” game with model to find
more efficient construction path - saving
time and money
• Once construction begins model used to
track construction progress
5D
• Each component of the BIM tied to the
Cost Estimate

Model Changes
• The ability to change the model is
strictly limited to those who are
responsible for changes to that portion
of the model
• A precise audit trail can be maintained

Clash Detection
Faster Construction Time
Streamline Delivery/Fabrication
Better Performing Facilities
Fewer Claims
Real Time Value Engineering
User Understanding – 3D Visualization
Challenges
Challenges
• Lack of standards for organization and
format of data contained within the model

Challenges – For Designers
• Change in culture & work flow
– Work is divided up by major building
elements in lieu of by drawing sheets
– Decisions are made earlier as to materials,
specifications and quantities

The
BIM
Path
First Steps
• Get Senior Management involved to
ensure leadership support
• Dedicate someone to the effort – BIM
Champion
• Prepare a BIM plan – keep it simple
and specific
Learning Curve
• It is generally accepted that there is an
initial cost and loss of productivity
while obtaining the necessary
resources as firms go through the
initial learning curve.
• Those firms who have made it through
this initial learning curve (on average
between 6 and 18 months) experience
the benefits.
Question: Yesterday vs. Today
• Yesterday: When & why adopt BIM?
• Today: How do we effectively deploy
it?
Software & Training Cost
• Design Software $3,200.00 +/- per user
• Navisworks $8,000.00 +/- per copy

Summary
• Use of BIM is leading to a revolution
in project delivery and facility
maintenance.
• The traditional tri-party approach to
design and construction will, over time,
be replaced by “Integrated Practice”
and collaboration
