BIM has existed for decades but saw little adoption until economies struggled, showing its ability to eliminate waste. BIM results in coordinated drawings, collaborative information sharing, and integrated data that can reduce change orders. It requires information to be entered once and then viewed securely by collaborators. Effective BIM follows a process of planning, building, and testing with accurate and consistent information at each phase.

1. Ryan Ghere - Builder as Information Engineer
The Making of the “Prezi”

2. Ryan is showing the impact of BIM over time
Understanding history helps
you know how to act today

3. Building Information Models have existed for decades
They were named in 2002

4. A busy economy showed no interest in BIM
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it . . .

5. When things are broke, they need fixin’
BIM helps eliminate needless waste
Capturing 10% of a project with reduced waste is conservative

6. Section II - BIM results in 3 major process improvements
- Coordinate Drawings
- Collaborative Information
- Integrated Information

7. Means many things to many people
Eliminating change orders is one thing
Not reducing, not greatly eradicating, all
but Eliminate Change Orders and think
about what that means to business

8. Each of these documentation processes
feeds the other in a continuous data ribbon

9. Admit it - everything requires collaboration
Adopt open and collaborative processes
Become the collaborative team member of choice

10. Collaborate using the best tools and processes today
Get your head in the clouds

11. Require information to pass sharing tests
Integrated information can be used in many ways

12. Enter Information Once
Allow multiple, secure views of information

13. When you do this, you have a new Position
Reduce risk with improved data management
Forest
Trees
Use proven processes

14. Section 3 - BIM is a Process
Software and hardware used in proven processes

15. Plan, Build, Test is the typical process
Accurate information is needed in each phase

16. You plan for one price

17. You build for another price

18. You test your premise in sales

19. Manage levels of details and maintain accurate information

20. Levels of Detail are refined
Foundation information remains the same - just more accurate

21. Use accurate information to manage risk
Software and hardware used in proven processes

22. Section 4 - Document Management
Improve Document Managemet to reduce risk

23. Planning information

24. Get Specific Development Information

25. Collaborative Proceses are required
Web-based data sharing demands collaboration

26. The Heart of the Matter
Manage cost documentation in a unified manner

27. Manage construction documents
Improve Construction Document Management

28. Reach Nirvana
Have consistent information for everyone

29. Maintain consistent Schedule Information

30. Now let’s talk about Warranties . . .
Manage warranties with original information entered once
If we can all but eliminate change orders,
imagine how to reduce warranty costs

31. Data management helps warranty management

32. Section 4 - A Simple Strategy
Make small improvements - achieve dramatic results

33. Assement of $5,000 - $10,000
Map more than $100,000 in savings
