SHAPING the future of “biM”


iXengineers biM

MEANING OF BIM:

• Two adjectives, one verb


• Verb: MODELLING
• Adjectives: information ; building / construction
• Meeting of the minds: Look at history:

Two Schools of Thought:

“Do Things right 1st time” vs “Fail often and cheaply”


iXengineers biM
Two Schools of Thought:

• Do Things right 1st time • Do the right things many times


• GM / NASA • Tesla / SpaceX
• Huge effort to get first time right • Fail many times cheaply
• Catastrophic failures • Design evolution

BIM with focus on “i”: Single truth
• “High level of detail” hungry
• Complete information container
Effort/reward

• High input effort and time cost


• “Do it right the first time” approach
• Little resources left to adapt at advance stages
• High risk up-front investment
• Example: Autodesk REVIT

BIM with focus on “M”: rapid modelling


• Fail repeatedly – fast, cheap
Effort/reward

• Geometry takes preference


• Rapid collaboration
• Concept evolution
• Information add secondary
• Low risk upfront investment
• Example: Freeware Sketchup / SHAPE

Notes: iXengineers biM

• Enable MOST designers to model


• Don’t over-invest in software as a means to invest in BIM
• Exercise light modelling, rapid concept development
• Share ideas / models with Teams
• Rather a low level of detail wholistic model vs high level of detail partial model
