This document discusses building information modeling (BIM) and its benefits for project management. It begins with an agenda for the presentation. It then discusses what BIM is, how it can improve project delivery across the lifecycle from planning to operations. Key benefits include reduced errors and rework, improved collaboration and communication, better cost control and safety. The presentation emphasizes that BIM does not change fundamental project management principles, but rather provides new tools and efficiencies while information is managed as a key deliverable. It concludes by discussing next steps such as integration with processes, standards, training and establishing information exchange platforms.

- 21. Model Progression Specification (MPS) Model Breakdown Structures (MBS) Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) • Specified level of detail at key project stages. • Relates to the MBS. • Specifies timing and quality of deliverables of modelling activities. • COBie, CBI, OmniClass, Uniclass, NBS. • Numerous ways to break down a model but the concept is the same as a Work Breakdown Structure. • Based on client requirements and starts with the end in mind. • Phase – area – discipline – activity. • Where the activity being undertaken is ‘modelling’. • Modelling activity may be broken down to – assembly - component
- 22. Future Project Management If MPS, MBS and WBS were all related We can determine how much effort has been applied to a specific model element: better change management, better schedule management We can forecast the time and effort to complete the design based on modelling effort to date: better cost management We can create better benchmarks for modelling activities: more accurate budgets We can ensure more consistent approach to design and interface management: everyone is using and speaking the same language, better quality, better communications

- 30. A Shared Vision Project Management BIM • An integrated project management environment • Leveraging technology to manage change, managing impact to: cost, progress to date, schedule, etc. • Data, lots of it • Single source of truth • Start with the end in mind • Make the most of existing standards and ways of thinking • Leverage what we have
- 31. Where To From Here The foundation of a BIM implementation is the organised management of its deployment, upkeep, compliance and performance. Governance A collaboration and accompanying data management framework solution to control the sharing of relevant and accurate information to all project stakeholders Collaboration & Data Management At the core of BIM are modeling workflow and deliverables standard that specify the asset model and its downstream use in other lifecycle phases. Model Centric Workflows During each lifecycle phase people need to analyse integrated asset models. Analyses start at 2D, then proceed to 3D, 4D (time), 5D (cost), and to greater complexity. Integrated Analyses
- 32. Where to from here? Integration with project management processes Process and organizational change management BIM awareness and communication plans Standards Repositories Common data environments Information exchange platform and collaboration tools Your Vision – general vision for BIM Education and training – training for PMs Contracts and legal policies Roles and responsibilities – allocation to project team Resources and capabilities Execution strategies Information integration
- 33. Final Remarks BIM BIM does NOT change ANY fundamental principals of effective project management; we still need to plan, do, monitor, control and close. We still need to manage risk, scope, cost and programs. The model and the information contained therein is a collection of deliverables that need to be managed. BIM brings new efficiencies and tools for project managers, and there is some work to be done to prepare new plans, capture previous design information, benchmark performance as we go. There is some way-paving that needs to be done to learn lessons and show the way, setting standards, establishing repositories etc. “Genius might be the ability to do a profound thing in a simple way”, BIM doesn’t complicate, it simplifies. By appling the same PM principles to BIM projects, we can do a profound thing in a simple way.

Editor's Notes
- #4: I’d like to give some context to the discussion of BIM. Here we see a network diagram showing the connections between various nodes on the internet between the period 2003 and 2010. Over a 7 year period we see a massive change in the structure of the internet with an exponential growth in node connectivity as more and more devices connect more and more people together. It is difficult to imagine, but I dare you to think about what the internet is like now and what it will look like in the year 2015, 2020 and beyond. The expanse between points on this graph will ultimately be filled with a multitude of devices enabling device to device communication and the internet of everything (not just people). Even now as we speak, a light bulb in your home can be controlled by your mobile, traversing the 4G spectrum, the internet, your wifi or home local area network to controllers which let you dim, and turn off these devices. This is the beginning of the internet of things, but the internet of everything would even let your mobile autonomously control your home without the need for your intervention. Your home would know when you are near and would turn on/off essential functions in response to your presence. Now.. That’s all great, but ultimately we must ask ourselves. So What?
- #5: Before we are able to truly assist our Clients realise their own goals, we need to have good understanding of BIM. Most importantly, we need to have a our own Governance, workflows, data management and analysis tools ready at the waiting. These tools and policies need to be flexible enough to adapt to each client’s specific needs, but without some framework in place, we are destined to churn. But before we set down the road of a truly integrated approach to project delivery and as described in the graphic here, we need to establish our own Vision for BIM and this is what I want to talk about today. That is, How do we use BIM to manage a project and on a very practical note, what do we need to do to make this happen?
- #8: Before I begin, I’d like to share a few quotes, the first one is by Charles Bukowski, American writer and Author of Ham on Rye. Charles suggested that; “Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way”. Since we are here to do more than give lip service to BIM, I propose a variation of his quote which is the ability to do a profound thing in a simple way.
- #16: Capital Projects Planning Enhanced visualisation facilitates Optioneering Reduced staff inspection & measurement time Quicker preparation of scope documentation. Design and Construction Improved design outcomes - improved remote & local collaboration Improved design outcomes - design reviews improved through visualisation / immersion Reduced time searching for information - Improved access to information Improved stakeholder engagement - early engagement with project design outcomes Less design variations - Better & earlier engagement in design by end users - easier to visualise end state Promotes collaborative working (local and remote. Internal & 3rd party Specialists & low cost services) Reduced cost and programme risk (more design certainty, less contingency required, less changes, less inspection/ measurement time) Reduced Contractor / vendor risk (stronger design & accurate info available at project kick-off) Lower Contractor / vendor cost (lower risk allowance, less time to measure, less site inspection time). Commissioning and Handover Shorter start up times due to improved training tools (VR etc) Better access to commissioning info developed in design Reduced cost to update (as built) 3D data. Quality Improved Reviews Inspections: Design intent Vs actual operation. Easy issue report generated Analysis - AR applications enables hands-free info access Enhanced production training - visualisation helps cognitive learning. Operations Collaborative tool VR can be used to train new staff Less downtime due to better access to information to resolve problems Can act as an enabler to Data Integration – ERP, Live Process Feed, SCP, Production Planning systems AR applications to view live process feed. Inventory Faster stock retrieval, FIFO. Better understanding of spares requ Maintenance More time on tools (easy access to info) Facilitates Troubleshooting Promotes collaborative working (Local and remote. Internal & 3rd party Specialists & low cost services). Health and Safety Immersive training – cognitive learning results in 40-60% increase in information uptake. Reduced risk – less inspections required – less people on-site Improved PTW – better PTW planning Integrated asset-related H&S hazard alerts when planning work Coupled with Visual aids (AR) can provide live asset –safety hazard alerts Improved H&S Inspections – Easier design intent Vs actual operation assessment.
- #18: Present application of BIM within the market place
- #19: Current structure of Plans within the project management space (not including BIM and including BIM)
- #21: Why is it that we don’t get the outcome we’re looking for?
- #22: Building an information exchange platform, and the need for consistency across model breakdown, progression spec. and work breakdown structures.
- #24: The benefits of an information exchange platform Single source of truth connecting multiple outputs Linking of systems, models and databases Interoperability provided by consistent data formats Communication protocols form information exchange Modelling, simulation and documentation standards Software environments Network environments Collaboration tools Information communications technology governance Data storage standards
- #27: This is a example I built from a smartBuilding LOD specification. It provides an example of earned value assessment performed on a model. Current progress can be determined directly from the model, if we export the model BOQ we can verify the existence of model information. Design reviews and verification activities can be added to this WBS as gates which also earn you value.
