BIM - What is it and why use it?BIM - What is it and why use it?

• A BIM is a lifecycle information collection point for a facility

• A BIM allows for the creation of facility information relationships

• A BIM is focused on saving resources (dollars, time and materials) during each phase of the facility life cycle

• The more mature the model the more usable it is – but any collected data is better that how we do business today

Building Information Model DefinitionBuilding Information Model Definition

National BIM Standard Definition of BIM – buildingSMART

A Building Information Model (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility.  As such it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle from inception onward.

A basic premise of BIM is collaboration by different stakeholders at different phases of the life cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update or modify information in the BIM process to support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder. The BIM is a shared digital representation founded on open standards for interoperability.

The National BIM Standard is part of the global buildingSMART Information Delivery Manual Initiative.

NotionalNotional BIM Project Savings Curve BIM Project Savings Curve

Optimized approach with virtual modeling and analysis with reduced change orders & delivery time and lower operating and sustainment costs

Typical approach failing to do routine maintenance and having to replace items earlier and more often

The yet untapped $avings

The savings we are currently experiencing with faster delivery and fewer change orders

Typical design/build approach with required maintenance

This is a draft – a team is working to put actual numbers to these notional curves

Typical BIM BenefitsTypical BIM Benefits

• Better understanding of design concepts – shared understanding of issues

• More focus on value-added tasks• Faster cycle times• Reduced errors and omissions• Less waste: rework, materials, time• Fewer translation errors and losses• Increased site safety• Better estimates – cost and time

Systems represent the physical entities of the building. Systems use NA classifications such as Omni-Class and Uniformat and are transported/exchanged via IFCs

Space is physical in nature, but can be unbounded (have no or cross physical boundaries) but it will always be tied to the physical structure or systems in some way

Overlays are more abstract data - organizational, operational, functional, financial, non-fixed assets, resources, personnel, etc. that is data tied to the Systems and Space

The product of the information exchange (i.e. The quantity and specification data used to purchase and deliver doors.

Existing information already in the BIM is used as input and information that is gleaned from the exchange is also stored in the model (i.e. Attributes about the doors purchased, size, material, cost, instructions, fire rating, etc.) NCS, IFC’s, OmniClass

The reason for the information exchange (i.e. Desire to buy doors)Report on Door Objects

More information is added to the building information model in its appropriate spatially related location

Use of Information Exchanges to Support BIMUse of Information Exchanges to Support BIM

• Requirement & Goal– Standardize on information

needed for specific tasks within the building lifecycle

– Development based upon open data standards used by all

– Provides requirements to software companies

• North America data standards– CSI, OMNICLASS, Uniformat– International Bldg Code– CIS/2 and other authorities

Case Study – Letterman Digital Arts CenterCase Study – Letterman Digital Arts Center

• “Despite numerous design layout changes that were required by Lucas Film Ltd. due to company restructuring, the LDAC project was completed on time and below the estimated budget….over two hundred design and construction conflicts were identified, most of which were corrected before construction, resulting in an

estimated savings of over $10 million on this $350 million project.”
