Responses from the industry What do owners want?
• Collaboration • Improved decision-making
– BIM and Web-based project management software – Use digital building models and visualization
– A trend towards integrated digital collaborations technology to reduce poor design/construction
decisions
• Representation
– Moved from 2D drawings to nD digital models • Improved contract documentation
– From representational (based on static, abstract representations – Reduce the level of unknowns in contract documents
of a design) to performative (based on desired outcomes)
– Establish accuracy and precision by using BIM
• Analysis
– Rapid design inference: understanding the analytical
• Improved preconstruction estimating
ramifications of design decisions as they are being made – Reduce the guesswork and inefficiency in
preconstruction estimating
• Fabrication
– Digital fabrication techniques reduce the pressure on filed • Improved procurement and scheduling
construction productivity – Better procurement and scheduling by using time/cost
– Require better connection between design and fabrication modeling (aka 4D/5D simulation)

• Improved cost-efficiency
– Reduce the cost due to coordination errors, incorrect fabrication,
and improper installation
– Reduce the use of overtime labour for recouping project
schedule lost

BIMStorm Hong Kong: an example BIMStorm Hong Kong: an example
• Spend $15 Billion US in one hour on this site in Hong Kong • 79 Building Information Models were submitted live to the BIMStorm

BIMStorm Hong Kong: an example Improve program compliance by spatial analysis
• Tools used: The ONUMA System, Google Earth, ArcGIS, SketchUp, • Use BIM tools to check program compliance
Autodesk Revit, Archicad, Excel, Google Docs, Skype, GoToMeeting,
Google Maps, Ecotect, NavisWorks, and other BIM applications. • Example of the United States Coast Guard project
– Multiple roles: owner, tenant, or design team
– Need to continually assess the condition of existing facilities,
their mission dependency, and current space utilization
– Traditionally done by manually collect data and create floor
plans for analysis every few years
• Requirements for a facility assessment system
– Facility condition index: represents the condition of various parts
of the building, roof, walls, windows, and equipment, ranging
from 0 (failure) to 100 (all of its design life remaining)
– Mission dependency index: represents parts of the facilities that
are critical to business or mission operations, also ranging from
0 (lowest priority) to 100 (highest priority)
– Space utilization index: represents the compliance of the actual
space to USCG standards.

Receive more valuable input Other design assessment areas
• Feedback from project stakeholders • Rapidly reconfigure and explore design scenarios
• Most stakeholders – Real-time configuration is possible either in the model generation tool
– Not AEC/FM professionals or a specialized configuration tool.
– Have limited time to understand the information provided about a project – Example: DProfiler system by Beck Technology
• BIM is able to facilitate the review process • Provide preliminary analysis for cost and energy based on conceptual design.
– Walkthrough animation • Facilitate owners rapidly assess the feasibility of alternative building designs
– 4D construction simulation
• Simulate facility operations
– walkthrough and 4D are not everything
ESPL Learning Centre, Switzerland
– Analysis of crowd behaviour or emergency evacuation scenarios

• Before 2000, almost nothing • Owner to subsidize partial of the cost
• 35% started to use 3D/BIM, by 2007 • Everyone must be on board
• 50% in moderate levels or higher, by 2009
