BIM – Making It Work for You

1. BIM – Making It Work for You Dana K. “Deke” Smith, FAIA Executive Director, buildingSMART alliance

2. Learning Objectives • Defining integrated business processes • Standards are critical to BIM interoperability • Education must fundamentally change to support the BIM opportunity • Information turned into knowledge will empower owners

3. Topics • Interoperability – Teamwork • Information Flow – Building Trust • Handoffs – Interface Management • Business Process Re-Engineering • National BIM Standard – Base of Interoperability • Ballot Pipeline – The Path to Standards • Education is the foundation for change • Empowering Owners • The Grand Challenge

4. It’s All About Team – But What Kind? • Michael Phelps, a swimmer on a swim team is far different than Blair Brown a middle hitter on a volleyball team. • Facilities Industry needs to work as a team

5. Building Trust – The missing Pieces • Metadata • Who – What – When – Why • Information Assurance • Memory – Object – Physical • Transactional • Who did what when?

6. Information Hand Offs Facility Owner Designer Designer Contractor Contractor Facility Owner

7. Effective handoffs – Interface Management Procurement & Construction Occupation Design As-builts Design Documentation Construction Documentation OWNER Sketches/Models Drawings / CADD Manuals / FM apps Valuation Maintenance Management Shop Drawings Gantt Charts Costs / RFIs / COs Intent Representations Schedules Specifications 7

8. Horizontal and Vertical Over the Life Cycle COBie Construction Operations Building Information Exchange Conception & Definition Phases Procurement & Execution Phases Utilization & Closure Phases

9. Business Process Re-engineering

10. A Little Goes A Long Ways Goal: Shift $ from Op Ex to Cap Ex Reduced operating costs directly benefits society by providing more product. Societal Benefit Return on Investment Should not expect significant reduction in cost Value engineered and life cycle based decisions Construction Cost Life cycle based A small improvement in design has significant impact to operations and society Operational Cost over the life of the project annually Design Cost Contribution from Mark Bew - Size indicates relative value – not to scale Societal Impact / Cost Long term and significant

11. National BIM Standard – United States® • Compendium and Consensus of… • Reference Standards • Information Exchanges • Best Practices • Guidelines …applicable for BIM across the life cycle of the facilities industry

15. Changing How We Educate What not to teach • Proprietary software • Specific software • Technology • Organizational structure • Specific business process What to teach • Problem Solving • Creativity • Open approach • Big picture awareness • Collaboration • Strategic thinking • Virtual reality • Information sciences • Business process modeling • Common KSA’s across all colleges, universities, and continuing education

Changing How We Educate • University of Florida • Worcester Polytechnic Institute • University of Oklahoma • Arizona State University • Fresno State University • Georgia Tech • Pennsylvania State University • University of Washington • Carnegie Mellon University • Virginia Tech • The State University of New York – University at Buffalo • Louisiana State University • University of the West of England at Bristol • Queensland University of Technology • SungkyunkwanUniversity • Autodesk AEC Education • HOK • buildingSMART alliance • buildingSMART Canada • Illinois Institute of Technology • University of Southern California • University of Nevada – Las Vegas • The University of Texas at San Antonio • University of Alaska • Georgia Southern University • Brigham Young University • University of Pittsburg Academic Interoperability Coalition – A Committee of buildingSMART alliance

17. Too slow, too costly, too erroneous In reality we actually do not know what it should cost to build a facility… All other non-farm industries Construction industry Image used with permission – Paul Teicholz

18. Too slow, too costly, too erroneous China 30 story High Performance Hotel in 15 Days • Survives 9.0 magnitude earthquake • 4 panel insulated windows • Smart heat conservation system • Automatic solar and sun shades • Air is 20 times as pure as outside • Air quality monitored in each room • LED lighting Image provided by Broad Construction

19. Too slow, too costly, too erroneous • Broad Construction Hotel Project • 330 rooms delivered in 15 days • Assuming factory in production mode and not one off production • Normal delivery 570 days (19 months from contract to occupancy) • 570 - 15 = 555 x $100 / per room = $55,500 per room x 330 = $18,315,000 !

20. Empowering Owners • Changing the way we value information • How much did we pay and how much is it worth • Can it be resold to others – iTunes for construction information • It is all the owners information – it is the owners facility • Move from collecting data as just the cost of doing business…. to ensuring the authoritative source collects information and makes it available to all those authorized to have access.

21. The Grand Challenge • Fragmented US Facilities Industry • Use Alliance – Gain Agreement • Deadline – 2021 [ 7 Years ] • Define: Strategy - Goals – Objectives - Outcome • Open standards based • Life cycle – Sustainable • Transform the facilities industry into the information age http://www.nationalbimstandard.org/visiontaskforce.php
