6. Why are we adopting BIM theory? • A study performed for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) estimated that in 2002, $15.8 billion were lost due to “significant inefficiency and lost opportunity costs associated with interoperability,” in the capital facilities industry. Moreover, building owners and operators bore the majority (2/3) of these costs. When applied to GSA’s $11 billion of construction program currently in the pipeline, NIST’s findings equate to $460 million of waste or rework on GSA projects. GSA Study

7. Why are we adopting BIM theory? • OCA is committed to the adoption of BIM methods and technologies in our capital construction program, with the intent of achieving major quality and productivity improvements like those that have been realized in other industries over the past four decades. GSA is poised to leverage the value of “building virtually” before building in reality. 3D-4D-BIM applications aid GSA project teams in better visualization and analysis of project information. • 4D models allow customers to visualize and optimize project phasing and construction sequencing.

11. BIM USES; How is your company utilizing BIM? Just Modeling, Construction Documents, Scheduling 4-D, and Cost Analyses 5-D, … The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in design practice has grown dramatically. Once considered applicable only to the largest and most sophisticated projects, design firms of all sizes now use BIM in their work in a variety of settings (Structural Engineering Institute, 2010).

35. We are not all large companies with large or unlimited resources for technology and training. What can you and your long term partnering Architectural, Engineering, and Construction firms do? Making the best of your established relationships by sharing the costs and rewards of gaining experience on projects together.

36. Return On Investment Your ROI is tied to the owner’s ROI. Project sizes, complexities determine BIM use only when the Owner buys into ROI potential. How far will BIM be deployed; modeling, clash detection, structural analysis, energy analysis, fenestration e-star& green products, construction drawings, shop drawings, fabrication, site location design, just-in-time deliveries of material, construction management, facility management, operation and maintenance, document and warranty embedment documents in RFI tags, and LEED performance.

The Early Bird Gets The Worm, But It Is The Second Mouse That Gets The Cheese. Now is the time to move forward and not get left behind.

43. Return On Investment, What Path do We Take? Are the investments of resources in money, and training of personnel worth it? Will the employee stay once they have been trained? Are personnel as committed to the organization as the owner and management? Why or why not?

45. How can We get more informed? What are the objectives of investments in resources of money and training of personnel? Are they clearly defined and realistic? Are groomed employees an asset worthy of investment? Fulfilled personnel are often as committed to an organization as the owner and management.

46. How can We get more informed? Many free publications and associations are there to help you; but be mindful that only you know what your and your clients needs are. Develop your experience through time and partnerships.
