@nathancwood presents the US perspective on BIM adoption and integration with other platforms to establish a Common Data Environment (CDE).

1. US BIM Definition
“A digital representation of physical and functional
characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge
resource for information about a facility forming a
reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as
existing from earliest conception to demolition.”
National BIM Standard v1, 2007

2. Field Experience
• Objective 01
• Objective 02
• Objective 03
• Objective 04
• Objective 05

3. MEP Supply Chain Automation

4. Robotic Total Station Integration
4X PRODUCTIVITY INCREASE
HAND LAYOUT FROM 2D: 75 INSERTS/DAY
BIM + TOTAL STATION: 300 INSERTS/DAY

5. Disrupting the Framing Process

Coordinated BIM [DPR Drywall]

7. BIM is just a Tool1

PEOPLE PROCESS
This Tool is only as good as
the People using It

The People can only be as
effective as the Process allows them to be

10. The Impact of a Broken Process
• Does this…..
• Equal this?

11. The Impact on Coordination Risk

12. The New “Single Source of Truth”?
“BIM-Centric” “Data-Centric”

13. • 3D Navigation?
• Metadata?
• Open Source?
• File Size?
• Free Collaboration?
