BIM standards and mandates
The US General Services Administration (GSA), managing all federal buildings, has been requiring BIM through its national 3D-4D-BIM program.
Created by the buildingSMART Alliance, the US National BIM Standard (NBIMS) covers exchanges between stakeholders during all phases of a facility’s lifecycle.
UK government’s much talked about Level 2 BIM standards. The mandate is that by 2016 all public projects will have minimum collaborative 3D BIM targets.
What types of projects benefit most from BIM?
Complex projects with multiple stakeholders that can significantly benefit from:
Improved efficiency
Increased clarity
Fewer project reworks
Reduced waste and cost
There are BIM adoption challenges
70%70% of contractors have
adopted BIM in North America over the past 10 years
Yet only 30% of projects actually implement and use
BIM technology
30%
Challenges of realizing the full benefits of BIM project-wide
• Increasing project complexity• Information silos• Software cost & accessibility• Owners requirements• Training & implementation• Determining the activities and BIM processes to be adopted• Defining and controlling model & data structure and versioning• Facilitating efficient and effective collaboration and
communication
Overcoming challenges
Standardized processes
Training and education
Project-wide access to
models and data
Tailored implementation by organization and project
BIM success study
“BIM is a much higher value-add to our customer, at the end of the day.”— Ricardo Khan, Director of Integrated Construction
Mortenson has implemented BIM in vertical projects.
AN EARLY ADVOCATE They are applying best practices • On infrastructure
projects• Leveraging BIM’s robust
data to automate processes
NEW APPLICATIONS BIM has improved:• Decision-making process• Project accessibility for
all stakeholders• Ability to share
intellectual data• Communication across
the team

My history with BIM• Early BIM adopter – early 2000s• “Building” as a verb, not a noun – to appeal to the “horizontal”
or infrastructure construction world, (same as it applies to vertical ‘buildings’)
• Tying 3D project models to CPM Schedule activities (4D) and Cost/Budget estimating, planning and accounting (5D)
• Seeking to enable unlimited access to the full Program/Project team for continuous improvement in communication, collaboration, coordination of all planned and measured data.
State of Infrastructure Industry - before BIM and Aconex
• Large Infrastructure owners typically only have 2D plans and profiles of their current assets.
• All typically have a need for better collaboration during design development
With BIM and Aconex• Public owner (airport) required design data to comply with
FAA mandate. • Airport acquires 2D plans from adjacent public owners to
incorporate into its overall 3D/BIM model.• Using Connected BIM in Aconex, the Airport and adjacent
public infrastructure owners each had secure access to the information they needed.
How owners can use Aconex to leverage the BIM models provided by their consultants
• Use the Aconex BIM module for visualization and collaborative project team discussions around the BIM IFC models provided by their consultants, developed in Revit and other authoring tools.
• Attach project documents from Aconex to the various objects (assets/sub-assets) in the models to be shared and reviewed with O&M teams.
Key benefits of future BIM for owner agencies
• “Single source of truth”• Improved accuracy • Timeliness of communication • Constant consciousness of Value Engineering
opportunities/necessities.• Provides transparency of information to all organizational
stakeholders• Provides a structure for ‘clear and present’ accountability,
thereby reducing risk.
BIM best practices
• Align BIM to project processes • Procurement• Construction/Installation • Asset management• System O&M projects
• Initiate BIM early in the design process• Create a central repository for all BIM (IFC) models
Results to be achieved by owners
• Direct cost reductionsValue Engineering coordination, more efficient information flow, decision making, schedule acceleration, dispute avoidance, and rework reductions.
• Development of Standard BIM Specification
Standard BIM specification and implementation plan for all new facility and infrastructure capital projects.

But “Traditional BIM” leaves project teams, information & processes disconnected
How do I…• View models without special software?• Link RFIs with objects for resolution of
clashes and issues
How do I…• Link information into my
model for a complete BIM handover?
• Get an audit trail of decisions made?
How do I…• Distribute huge BIM files?• Reduce cycle times on clash
resolution?• Version control to avoid
errors on out-of-date models?
How do I…• Access models on my
mobile device?
