In the future, industr agreed-upon metrics applied

through the use of BIM will greatl increase our

abilit to analze the life-ccle value of man more

design alternatives and options, far better manage

costs, and virtuall eliminate much of the waste,

error, and inefficienc inherent in toda’s facilit

deliver and O&M processes.

As we move into a phase of significant potential

disruption in our industr, we need NIBS and

the buildingSMART alliance™ more than ever

to provide a forum to work out what are likel

to be significantl thorn issues related to tradi-

tional boundaries between roles and responsibil-

ities, methodologies, and even technologies that

have been in place for hundreds of ears.
