Cost Estimating with BIM requires web collaboration - simple business processes that are possible with today's technology tools. Collaboration is the first step in cost estimating.

1. RevUp Render presents
Collaboration Tools for Revenue Growth - “Seeing the Picture”
Working together with open standards, building industry professionals
can solve almost any problem using always improving tool sets

2. International Design Studio's 20 person team completed a 100,000-
square foot competition in 2 months
IDS also helped Chermayeff and Poole collaborate on the web
BIMStorm LAX is an AIA BIM Award winning international
collaboration project with other BIMStorms in place around the globe

3. International Design Studio leader, Ry Bruscoe has lead easy project
web site creation and operation for BIM rendering acceleration
When you manage the important data about a lot of building issues,
you are more productive and more profitable.

4. Solving building industry problems with collaboration tools is one of
the most sustainable areas of job growth and value creation
Using web collaboration software can be highly profitable

5. There are many web collaboration systems
This IDS project web site shows shows some of many collaboration
tools that can build new revenue streams through model management

6. International Design Studio has developed RevUp Render to
accelerate BIM rendering speed and improve decision making for
model managers, stake holders, clients, officials and citizens

7. For a South Korean, 80-story High Rise. . .
What took 72 hours . . . was rendered in 12 hours with RevUp Render

8. Chermayeff and Poole - a multi-use project rendered in 15 Minutes
after not being able to render at all
Peter Chermayeff, FAIA has worked with Buckminster Fuller
and sees how accelerating collaboration helps tell complex
stories with clear and simple images.

9. Chermayeff and Poole
Tying images to data - cost data -
helps people make decisions

10. Huntington Beach, California - GreenFest Case Study

11. Costs related to more complex decisions can be laid out graphically
Energy costs can
be estimated for
buildings and for
communities
How many cars will come off Pacific Coast Highway at what times?

12. Huntington Beach can compare data visually for challenging projects
Collaboration tools increase success

13. Collaboration tools include RevUp, ONUMA, Solibri, Navisworks and
others - there are many tools to use to improve decision making.
They don’t replace human interaction - they enable web-based action

14. Huntington Beach collaboration opportunities are extensive
Although this geodesic dome over the city is not likely to get approved

15. Huntington Beach is likely to explore construction sequencing on
large projects with impacts on traffic and multiple issues . . .
The impact of the schedule on the cost can be shown

16. Creating meaningful data images for owners, stakeholders and
citizens improves profitability
It involves collaboration . . . and it is a repeatable process.

17. Thank you for the opportunity to present about collaboration tools.
Special thanks to ONUMA, Inc. for use of images and knowledge.
We will now join sponsor Ry Bruscoe for a demonstration of his
International Design Studio project web site and see a demonstration
of his RevUp Render rendering accelerator web service, which is
sponsoring the event.
