Agenda

• Open BIM Standards• Impact of Failure to Communicate• Scope of BIM• Managing Cost – Leveraging Resources• Role of International Framework Dictionary• Consensus Process• National BIM Standard Core Document• Lessons Learned


National Institute of Building Sciences • 1974 - Public Law 93-383, Sect. 809

• Bridge between Private and Public Construction• Non-governmental – Unique 501c3 Organization• Unique in that it represents all disciplines in industry

• Board includes - Architects, Engineers, Contractors, Insurers, Unions, Manufacturers, Legal, Housing, Vendors, Owners, Consumers, State & Federal Government, Codes & Standards, and Testing

$175M Project – Phase 2 (~$50M)

Phase 2 of project completion scheduled was for early 2011, but it was delivered 4 months ahead of schedule and cost $6.4M less

than anticipated.

Scope of Information


Failure To Communicate


Integrated Project Delivery

Execution Planning• Provides opportunity

for partners to agree on outcomes.

• Start with the end in mind


A Cautionary Digital Tale of Virtual Design and ConstructionInsurance settlement related to a building information model shows that BIM without communication can be costly

Managing Cost


Reversing the Trend

• buildingSMART Goal - Turn a stagnant or declining productivity curve to an exponentially improving one

2004 2008 2012 2014 2018 2022 2024 ….


We Must Change!

• NIST in 2004 identified $15.8B lost to lack of interoperability

• $3 trillion industry with possible 30% waste• 40% of global raw materials are consumed by

buildings• Facilities consume 40% of the energy• 65.2% of total U.S. electricity consumption• Facilities contribute 40% of the emissions• Facilities contribute 20% of land fills• U.S. is no longer the worlds largest consumer…

but we did not slow down Source: CII & LCI 2004


Value of BIM


What is the cost of NOT doing BIM?

See article by Dr. Raymond Issa, Pg 22

Documented ROI’s of:Project A: 36.7% $13,083Project B: 16.2% $7,145Project C: 376.0% $201,125Project D: 109.0% $64,335Project E: 1653.9% $3,453,221Project F: 299.9% $665,700

Lessons Learned


Lessons Learned

1. Difficult to capture & change business processes2. Need something for technocrat as well as

practitioner3. People don’t seem to share naturally4. Not a technical problem – cultural5. Balance management and technical needs6. Must break down silos7. Must use rules of governance8. Need criteria and examples9. Hard to keep volunteers engaged10.Takes a long time – journey not project
