Perspective on BIM

• Research

– Dynamics of BIM

• Impact and Trends

– Top BIM Activities

o Design and Preconstruction Phase

o Construction Phase

• Future

– Post-Construction Phase

– Industrialization of Project Delivery


BIM Definitions

• “BIM” • Consistent definition since 2007

• Intended to differentiate from CAD

• “BIM Adoption” • Intentionally inclusive

• Not just model authoring

• Includes use of other’s models or engagement with model-derived information

• “BIM User” • Currently engaged in some way with models or

information derived from models on at least one project

• Meant to indicate how many companies are engaging with BIM vs. relying solely on CAD

Definitions of

BIM, BIM Adoption

and BIM User

For the purposes of this research:

“BIM” refers broadly to the creation and use of digital

models and related collaborative processes between

companies to leverage the value of the models.

Adoption of BIM

Adoption of BIM in North America

• Grown strongly since 2007

• In spite of Global Financial Crisis


Adoption of BIM

Architects initially led BIM adoption


Adoption of BIM

Contractors adoption surpassed Architects in 2012


Adoption of BIM

Large AEC adoption exceeds Smaller firms – 3 year lag

<$500K $500K-5M $5M-10M >$10M Annual Fee Volume for A or E:

<$25M $25M-100M $100M-500M >$500M Annual Construction Value for C or O:
