No Longer Business as Usual… BIM is Disrupting the Building Industry

April 2003, BIM Debate (LaiserinLetter)

October 2003, AIA Connecting the Dots Conference

Aug 2004, NIST Interoperability Study

Sept 2004, GSA contracts NIBS/IAI for BIM Development

Jan 2005, OGC and NIBS collaborate

Feb 2005, GSA BIM RFI

Building Industry is 56% of US Construction

* NIST Inoperability Study, p1-2,US Census Bureau, 2004b. Annual Value of Construction Put in Place for 2002 ($Billions).

Plant = 97.7 (26%)

Building = 208.9 (56%)

Misc. = 67.7 (18%)

Total = $374.1 Billion

So, what is BIM?

Vendor A: Intermediate step from CAD, Loosely coupled collection of drawings

Vendor B: Proprietary central project database approach-ability to coordinate, track revisions

Vendor C: Integrated project model

Vendor D: Virtual building model

Vendor E: Platform approach

Operations & Maintenance Management

(STEP)– AP-221– AP-227

• ISO 15926 / InfoWebML

Plant & Building Industries Share Interoperability Pain Points*

• Equipment Data “handover” (Project to O&M)

• Vendor Information Intelligent Eng. Systems

• Logical (2D, P&ID) Physical Model (3D)• Status/ownership Info over life-cycle

* FIATECH Interoperability Requirements for Roadmap (IRR) Meeting, March 2005

Together We Are Better

• “BIM” potential business volume drives culture/workflow change

• Jointly address interoperability pain points and simplify AEC standards

• Strong, single voice to software vendors• Share in capture of measurable ROI, case

studies, prototype projects• Both trying to balance risk, responsibility,

and reward with similar business environment

Call to Action: Cross-fertilize PIM and BIM

• Address common interoperability pain points

• Rapidly implement common information exchange approaches

• Describe & develop industry-wide software neutral ALIS
