The big five things this presentation, hope to fox on:

IntroductionBIM is

nothing new. But its timeis now, and

it’s changing our

industry

BIM is about allot more

than just 3D design

BIM is part people, partprocess, part

software, and all

collaboration

Audit trails of

discussions and

approvals are critical for a BIM

project

The biggest difference

between BIM and non BIM

projects is that BIM projects

end up with an interrelated,

cross-referencedset of data

Because its use is evolving and growing, many people – including those that use it day-to - day – can find it difficult to define BIM. So here’s what we’re talking about.

Let’s be clear about BIM

The BIM Boom

Some benefits for organizations and their projects includes:• Time saving• Clash detection and avoiding rework• Improved productivity• Smoother handover• ROI• Competitive advantage

Believe the hype about better projects

Information comparison:• Information leakage• Seamless transition

The promise of BIM: Better lifecyclemanagement

BIM Lawsuit Offers Cautionary Tale

It’s (still) all about collaboration

1. Managing the large fie sizes2. Approval, audit trails and milestone sign-off3. Long review cycle times4. Problems linking models to other project data5. Publishing slices of models from different authoring tools6. Archiving point-in-time models from joint compilation 7. Viewing part of a model8. The handover hangover

Common challenges when managingBIM models

1. Set your standards2. Do your research on systems and tools3. Think about collaboration4. Don’t get overwhelmed5. If you’re not doing BIM already, just get started
