Beschreibung

Use BIM to develop strategies, expedite projects, improve outcomes, and save money. BIM is far more than an "upgrade" to the latest CAD software. It is a process improvement tool that leverages data to analyze and predict outcomes throughout the different phases of the building life cycle. The time for a building owner to get involved with the BIM process is not at the end of the building project but from the very beginning. BIM for Building Owners and Developers is the only guide that will help you, the owner and client, use BIM to increase transparency and create a more integrated design and construction process, which will result in better quality buildings at lower cost and in a shorter time frame. It will also help you understand what BIM can do for you and what you can expect in terms of process and commitments. You'll discover how BIM can help improve your strategic planning, maximize ROI, support the decision-making processes, and fine-tune GAP analysis. In addition, BIM for Building Owners and Developers can help you: * Understand, manage, and take advantage of the BIM paradigm shift * Assemble a building as it would be constructed on site to help eliminate many inefficiencies of the construction process * Achieve a high level of coordination through better integration of information and process optimization * Reduce the overall cost of a project by identifying problems while they still can be corrected inexpensively Make every project easier, faster, and more profitable with BIM for Building Owners and Developers.

Preface

Over the last 30 years, industries such as manufacturing, distribution, and finance have been automated, driving enormous gains in productivity worldwide. The exception is the architecture, engineering, and construction industry (AEC). That is, until recently. Maybe this was a function of an ingrained approach industry-wide toward delivering services on an unbundled basis, or maybe the industry was simply slow to embrace the benefits of integrated data management. However, over the last 5 years, with the ramping up of building information modeling (BIM) and new, subsequent developments and applications, the AEC world moved firmly into the middle of a true sea change.

The winners most certainly will be firms that have embraced this new approach toward gathering, processing, and utilizing information across the spectrum of consulting, design, implementation, and operations. Moreover, these new technologies are driving the further growth of integrated EPC and DB services, as the real power lies with access to, development and manipulation of, and pull-through application of data from the start of a capital expense project all the way to monitoring ongoing operations.

While the AEC world is ramping up its intelligence around the use of BIM and a multitude of related new applications, the next evolution of application lies with building owners. In addition, this new intelligence of leveraging data to analyze and model results is used to drive efficiencies, and builder/owners are witnessing a change in applications that are available to drive building and system life cycle efficiencies.

BIM for Building Owners and Developers takes the reader through the multitude of opportunities and challenges in quickly moving “up the BIM curve” while overviewing both strategic frameworks and technical information along the way, with features such as “A Tales from the Trenches” that highlight real-life applications.

The world of BIM is rapidly developing, with new applications emerging almost daily, including serious work around artificial intelligence (AI), driving significant next-generation opportunities. Building owners who are well educated on the topic and embrace these new technologies will have a clear advantage in their industry going forward.

Thanks to my wife Nehal and my boys, Devan and Jaimin. My wife has always been supportive of my career. She had to endure not only my hectic travel schedule but also my disappearances to “work on the book” after having been gone all week. Thanks also to my boys, who struggled to understand why daddy was always so tired.

This book is dedicated to my father, K. Pulla Reddy, who influenced me in becoming part of the architecture, engineering, and construction industry at a very young age.

chapter 1

Introduction to Building Information Modeling

Building information modeling is most often referred to as BIM. In practice, BIM is defined as the file that is created by the use of three-dimensional (3-D) computer-aided design (CAD) software programs. Unfortunately, this is the broadest definition and is often the root cause of failure in the deployment of BIM. The focus on BIM as being an “upgrade” to the latest CAD software is the first step many firms take in the wrong direction. In reality, BIM is a process improvement methodology that leverages data to analyze and predict outcomes throughout different phases of the building life cycle.

While there are several books in the marketplace addressing the technical aspects of BIM, including software training manuals, the focus of this book has been to look at BIM from a building owner’s perspective. To date, the owner’s role in BIM has primarily been as the recipient of the “BIM” at the end of the project. The reality is that the owner is the most pertinent participant in the BIM process. This book is not intended to be a technology-driven perspective of BIM but rather a tool for an owner to better understand BIM in order to deploy practical initiatives that lead to BIM being beneficial for the owner’s projects.

BIM is a “paradigm shift”—and, in most cases, a paradigm shift happens quickly. For various reasons, however, the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) community is moving through this shift at a much slower pace. The major reason for this lethargic adaptation is due to the nature of the construction system at large. It exists as a highly fragmented environment, supporting an ecosystem consisting largely of influencers that consist of highly repetitive experience with a single decision maker— the owner—with relatively nominal experience compared to the ecosystem. The current state of the AEC processes and the end state of the paradigm shift are both well understood. The adaptation from the current to the end state is creating the most chaos. It is important to understand that the notion of BIM as a process improvement technology is more conceptual than analytical. To deem an improvement of process implies the measurement of existing systems and documentation of these metrics as a baseline for improvement.
