Current processes are disjointed
Still start with Excel data, but
data is not connected
Information Age processes share data on the web
Data still starts in a structured
format,
but is stored on the web and shared for the life of the project

How do you help owners benefit from web processes?Start with one object
António Frade Pina of concepsysBIM provides an example
Insert it into a room
Move it, show it in 2D, show it in 3D, replicate it
But the most important element is the Information
(Information can be in Portuguese for António’s clients)
SketchUp is a cost effective place to start with one object
See one object in many ways
Global Unique Identifiers (GUID) for duplicate objects
Share data through IFC (Industry Foundation Classes)
The most important thing to see is the data - online
Through this . . .
From this . . .
Have reports in many formats to communicate clearly
Each military hospital is to download one dental chair - Have they all done so yet?
Agreements can be simple, but they need to define process
Collaborative agreements help information flow properly
A process chart is part
of the contract
