What is BIM?What is BIM?

• According to the National Institute of BuildingSciences,” A building Information Model (BIM)is a digital representation of physical andfunctional characteristics of a facility. As suchit serves as a shared knowledge resource forinformation about a facility forming a reliablebasis for decisions during its lifecycle frominception onward.

The New Approach – Culture ChangeThe New Approach – Culture Change

What does it do?What does it do?Reduces Cycle Time

• Better Communication• Better management of delivery times• Quicker assembly of larger parts

• Reduces Lifecycle Cost• Less waste because of less re-work• True value engineering performed• Significantly reduced number of change orders

• Improved and Sustainable Product Quality• Some parts assembled off-site with higher quality control• More sustainable product• Product Visualization prior to physical construction

Why Do We Need It?Why Do We Need It?• Inadequate information available to make

decisions at all phases of project• Full consequences of changes to design are

difficult to determine• Specs typically delivered in boxes of paper

documents created at end of project• Warranty information/terms unknown• PM requirements not documented• Unknown system, equipment design criteria• Spare parts information missing, do not know the

suppliers• Lost Opportunities to save O&M Costs

• Models developed in Revit for two differentsites.• Helped identify early renovation challenge.• Quickly generated preliminary plans.• Enabled team to quickly respond to client

changes.

Duke Chiller PlantDuke Chiller Plant• Entirely a 3D design with intelligent components

that enabled an automated bill of materials take offand cost estimate.

• $18M construction cost with only $15k in changeorders.

• BIM viewer enabled virtual walk-through for client.CAD software was not necessary.

• Maintainability was key to design.

Condition AssessmentsCondition Assessments

• Condition data is capturedelectronically in the field.• Less office-time spent on

field notes

• All information is kept inone database.• Easier, faster report

development

• Database can be connectedto BIM and CMMS

Bottom Line … Return OnInvestmentBottom Line … Return OnInvestmentSavings typically come from the

improvement in maintenance efficienciesthat will occur as a result of managingassets holistically using the BIM withminimum information losses from eachphase of the lifecycle. The followingsavings are possible:•Maintenance cost reductions up to 30%•Productivity increases 20-50%•Machine downtime reduced by up to 98%• Profit increases of 25-60%

BIM: Collaboration Consistency Communication

SummarySummary• BIM is here but information is not yet flowing• BIM will dramatically and profoundly change the

way we work• Business process will change to be information

model centric• Architecture is in the early adoption phase.• Engineering is in the middle of the early adoption

phase.• Contractors are at the beginning of the early

adoption phase.• It will be 5-7 years until most projects are

designed and constructed using BIM.
