    Study Notes

    BIM Background and History

    • The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has been using BIM since the 1970s.
    • A private version of Revit-like software was released in the 1980s.

    BIM Definition and Principles

    • Building Information Modeling (BIM) is based on the underlying principle of creating a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility.
    • The Canadian Practice Manual for BIM defines BIM as a modeling technology and associated set of processes to produce, communicate, and analyze building information.

    Interoperability and Collaboration

    • Interoperability in the design-construction industry means the ability of different systems and software to share and use each other's data seamlessly.
    • A key factor in achieving interoperability is the use of open standards and data formats.
    • The Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) system is better structured to leverage the full collaborative mode of BIM.

    BIM Roles and Responsibilities

    • The BIM Manager is responsible for developing policies about access and editing control, developing templates, and structuring libraries of shared digital content.
    • The job scope of a BIM Manager in an architectural practice includes ensuring the effective implementation and use of BIM.

    BIM Skills and Training

    • When recruiting staff for BIM implementation, skills to consider include technical skills, communication skills, and willingness to learn.
    • Developing an education program for BIM training can be done in-house, through external providers, or through online resources.
    • A training program for BIM should address the needs of different client segments and be developed as part of the firm's strategic plan.
    • The training program should articulate the firm's BIM vision, goals, and objectives.

    BIM Implementation and Change

    • Implementing BIM requires changes in people, processes, and technology.
    • The adoption of BIM as an enhanced design and production tool alone does not resolve issues related to communication, collaboration, and project delivery.

    BIM Phases and Benefits

    • The operation and maintenance phase of the BIM lifecycle is the longest and where much of the investment in the process is realized.
    • The implementation of BIM learning process requires a continuous and incremental approach.

    BIM Strategic Planning

    • A firm's strategic plan should articulate its BIM vision, goals, and objectives.
    • A key component of a firm's operational planning is its BIM strategy.
    • The purpose of a federated model in the context of BIM is to combine individual models into a single, coordinated model.
