BIM is essential for improving our industry's efficiency however when BIM is not implemented correctly teams can experience some severe BIM challenges. We call these challenges "Evil BIM" 😊 Evil BIM is: 1. Owners Just Requesting "BIM" When an Owner requests "BIM" without understanding what they're asking for - solely because a technology vendor has promoted never ending BIM benefits. 2. Not Enough BIM When not enough BIM is authored and BIM Uses can not be completed thoroughly - for example: proactive coordination, accurate quantity takeoff or the perfect 4D schedule. 3. Too Much BIM When teams produce more BIM than can be used by the customer/end users - doing anything that's not needed is wasteful (and evil 😉). 4. Unclear Model Element Authors When project teams are unclear about what BIM they should be modeling and sometimes incorrectly model each other's scope ( who's supposed to model...
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a set of technologies, processes and policies enabling multiple stakeholders to collaboratively design, construct and operate a Facility in virtual space. As a term, BIM has grown tremendously over the years and is now the ‘current expression of digital innovation’ across the construction industry. It is an intelligent 3D model-based process that usually requires a BIM execution plan for owners, architects, engineers, and contractors or construction professionals to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. When I was at school… my technology teacher Mr Ormrod taught me all about the benefits of building prototypes. I learnt that building something quickly at low cost before actually building it at full scale would save time and money. In most other industries, such as manufacturing cars or phones, they make many prototypes all built and rebuilt to perfection before pr...
