Industry Trends
McGraw-Hill Construction research shows
that, in the face of an economic recession,
BIM users expect to significantly ramp up
their investment in BIM in 2009.
Companies who are actively tracking BIM

return on investment are showing initial
BIM ROIs of 300 to 500% on projects
where BIM was used.
Owners currently have limited

opportunities to use BIM for operations
and maintenance purposes. As those
capabilities develop, BIM use among
owners will increase significantly.
Government BIM / FM Initiatives
GSA - was the first government organization to lead the US

government into BIM and had a primary role in promoting BIM in
the entire industry. They remain today a leader in the initiative,
continually breaking new ground.
US Army - The Corps of Engineers with the support of their

laboratories are transforming to the use of BIM and is are primary
players in the industry transformation with products such as COBIE.
US Coast Guard - has also been a leader among government

agencies and have pioneered the linking of mission to facilities and
use of facility information during the operations and sustainment
phases of the lifecycle.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)
• "BIM is the virtual
representation of the
physical and functional
characteristics of a facility
from inception onward.
• As such, it serves as a
shared information
repository for collaboration
throughout a facility's
lifecycle.“
BIM - Basic Concepts & Functionality
• Central model coordination

• Parametric components
• In-process visualization
• Conceptual design tools
• Sophisticated Analysis
• Interference checking
• Coordinated, consistent
construction documentation
between all disciplines
• Computable Attribute Data
• Virtual Headaches
BIM Benefits
Time
• Automation, simplified processes
• Shorter delivery cycle
• Availability of consistent information
Quality
• Accuracy, coordination, design intent
• Analytical tools, planning tools, operations tools
• Focus on design
Money
• Reduced RFIs
• Reduced errors & omissions
• Improved management and operations

LEED Certification
MEP
BIM models of mechanical systems produces bill-of-materials and

directly drives fabrication equipment for exceptional accuracy
and productivity in pre-fabrication.
Structural
Structural models are widely used for design, coordination, analysis and
fabrication.
Systems Integration & Interference
Checking
Generation of fully coordinated
construction drawings
Coordination of BIM assemblies with
AIA MasterSpec, Firm Masters and
Project Manuals
4D Time & Schedule - Integration with
project management applications
4D - Virtual Modeling of the Construction
Process
Modeling of construction logistics is growing in popularity because of

its contribution to cost avoidance and site optimization.
