BIM FOR OWNERS DEVELOPERS GLOBAL EXECUTIVE PROGRAM
FOREWORD //

The size and complexity in construction today has a substantial influence primarily
through the capital increase in infrastructures, building and real estate. Furthermore,
owners and developers in any field have challenges to overcome. New tools and
processes can help the owner and developer to become successful by streamlining
project delivery. BIM is a comprehensive process, as it is found in every phase of a
construction project and involves all parties – from idea to delivery – as a holistic, end-
to-end information-rich approach to the building lifecycle.
In order to maintain control in owner organizations, which is a crucial need, vital
decisions have to be made when initiating a project. Owners and developers must
prioritize working closely with designers, technicians, contractors, suppliers, and
facility and asset managers to build the information connectors that allow all
stakeholders to work more closely as a collaborative team. Owners and developers
must also embrace and understand emerging technologies and IT systems in order to
support effective project delivery.
The online program created by Zigurat and BIM Academy is focused on studying
these challenges to help lead the way while providing solutions. The “BIM for Owners
Developers Global Executive Program” links capital project delivery to total
lifecycle costs and leverages emerging technologies, new IT processes and industry
standards. The professors and professionals in the global executive program ensure
that information management, cost control, smooth data handovers and enhanced
productivity are prime objectives.
The “10 Dimension BIM Project” examines everything from tools to processes. It
demonstrates how building information modeling – BIM – can be used for checking
code compliance, tracking capabilities, managing library materials, and exchanging
supplier information through case studies that cover all kinds of managed projects.
One of the main challenges for an owner is enhancing productivity while ensuring
capacity at engineering, architecture, and construction sites where new materials,
equipment, and hardware are used daily. New software applications aid the program-
design-build-operate-renovate spectrum by linking 3D models, project execution and
supplier information while enabling owners and developers to visualize construction
progress related to costs over time. Additionally, these 5D cost-related, virtual specific
applications are contextualized to resolve issues early in the process – prompt enough
so they will be identified before initiating construction. Introducing mobile apps can
also enhance productivity, by bringing the same 4.0 Digital Industry characteristics to
the building sector.
All of us want to grow our assets, and new digital technologies in our sector are playing
a big role. As a matter of fact, our future depends on them, as does the industry’s.
Zigurat and BIM Academy have created an opportunity for owners and developers
in the building projects industry to effectively identify issues and overcome
overwhelming challenges. The real-world objectives of meeting cost, schedule
and execution benchmarks while providing improved safety measures, quality and
reliability to the world’s infrastructure are the goals of this executive program.
This is our commitment.
This executive program is the first program designed and created for Owners and
Developers with sponsorships from buildingSMART

BIM
OUTLINE
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an integrated process that is supported by a range of software. This reliable
information enables professionals to coordinate data about a project from design through construction and
operations. A BIM project models all data related to design, costs, safety, clash detection, scheduling, sustainability
and efficient facilities management. It operates on a cloud-based platform that can be shared between owners,
developers, architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, builders and facility managers.
BIM
This is referred to as the “building
lifecycle.” In BIM, we are able to
control the different life stages of
a project: the pre-construction,
construction and post construction
phases.
A model is created by incorporating data
that represents various factors that make
up a project: urban planning, architecture,
safety, structure, sustainability, assets and
viability, among others.
BIM facilitates the exchange of
information amongst all parties involved
in a project. Therefore, BIM will impact
business management and operations.
It will change the way we work and
create closer collaborations between
all construction professionals. It will
also bring design teams together with
construction teams.
BUILDING MODELING
INFORMATION
Information such as 3D views, drawings,
construction details, technical
specifications, structural calculations,
facilities calculations, energy efficiency,
measurements, budgets, planning, and
maintenance is generated throughout the
life cycle of a building,

INTERNATIONAL DEMAND
-
Changing the workflow of a company and optimizing a building model with BIM
software enables the end user to increase productivity by 25-35%. Traditional
modeling can no longer compete against a company that adopts BIM in a holistic way.
Working collaboratively on a project allows for quicker execution and
communication in real time, without the need to repeat an infinite number of tasks
that, until now, have been necessary when changes to the project occur.
The interoperability between software programs allows us to link our BIM models
with specialized tools in the areas of mathematics and management, to assist with
estimates and budgets, infrastructures, installations, energy efficiency and more.
BIM models allow the user to reach a high level of development while performing
faster and working more consistently.
Today’s global market increasingly demands the delivery of projects in BIM
format. It is anticipated that, by 2020, it will be a mandate in most countries.
Today, governments and financial institutions highly value public projects
delivered in this format. It is preferred because it is the only valid system for
growth. Governments in the UK, Singapore and South Korea have made it
mandatory to use BIM in all construction, and this is expected to boost the
growth of the BIM market in those countries.
AECO industry stakeholders indicate that using BIM results in time and cost savings. The development and
execution of a building information model for the purposes of project planning involve design, pre-construction
and construction phases, with advantages for each of them.

EXPERT
BIM
MANAGER
A BIM expert will learn the management
of advanced BIM systems and their
interoperability. The expert will also
demonstrate IT manager skills, and will
manage and develop libraries.
The BIM Manager has the skills necessary
for the management of collaborative teams
and the implementation of BIM systems
across all workstations.
Owners and developers need a BIM team that is able to manage the various phases of a construction
project and its operation.
The owner or developer requires an integrated project delivery (IPD) approach for their projects, a
method of collaboration that uses the talent, experience and input of all team members right from
the start of the project.
The objective is to optimize the entire BIM process, to enhance the project during its life cycle.

OWNER
BUILDING OWNERS’ DEVELOPERS’ OBJECTIVES
BIM enables an organization to compose virtual representations
of the building or infrastructure as it would be constructed on-
site, before the actual development has started. As information
is updated at each step of the BIM process, it is conveyed to the
next phase without any loss or repetition of information. Any
stakeholder can access the model to enter, update, or extract
information at any point during the construction lifecycle. When
the tasks are completed, the model can be delivered to the
owner or facility manager. Owners can see and track resources
over time. There are specific instances, such as insurance claims
or dispute resolutions, in which it is important for an owner to
be able to reproduce the building’s appearance prior to any
refurbishments or expansions. Additionally, the owner’s BIM
model and database can be linked to facility management
software to schedule any kind of maintenance on the equipment.
Thus, the progressive model can be used to operate the building
through its entire life.
BIM MODEL FOR OWNERS
Owners have a unique perspective on the value of BIM for their
projects. BIM tools and processes for owners can be integrated
with other digital tools, and are flexible when it comes to
focusing on facility operations and related data for completion.
An owner should outline a strategy for implementation within
the BIM operations; it should consist of a combination of the
designers’, contractors’, and building product manufacturers’
contributions to the BIM model that includes information
about the building, from planning to completion, and from
commissioning to handover.
An owner’s BIM model serves not only as a virtual model but
also as a database that contains all of the information about
a building’s space, equipment, furnishings, installations and
critical warranties, in both a graphical and non-graphical
format. Ideally, the architect’s BIM model will be used by the
contractor, who will analyze the practicality of the design and
add information using the product manufacturer’s models. After
the construction is completed on-site, the model will be updated
with all of the as-built information. The model will then include
all of the necessary information on design and construction,
enabling the contractors to update the model as equipment is
installed and new information is available.
IPD – INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY
Each team member has personal interests and goals in regards
to the project. Owners must engage the entire team to work
in unison with a common vision, adopting new and more
efficient methods of project delivery. In order to improve this
kind of efficiency, the entire process must maintain a high
level of coordination. Good integration is vital for optimizing
information and process. Many owners require an integrated
project delivery (IPD) approach to their projects, which is a
method of project collaboration that incorporates the talent,
experience and input of all of the team members right from
the beginning of the project. Owners who implement IPD must
think ahead to leverage BIM for its maximum capabilities. In an
IPD arrangement, all project members must collectively work
toward one common goal – the success of the project.
COMMUNICATION
The need for communication is essential to any organization.
Automated systems such as web collaboration have added
value to the equation. Technological advances and mobile
devices have improved the ability to communicate, but have not
necessarily improved the quality of communication. BIM has the
potential to bring a new level of quality communication to an
owner. Due to the volume of data generated, it can help provide
control during all building or infrastructural operations.

IPD (INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY)
Owners can protect their own interests and achieve their
goals by adopting new methods of project delivery that
engage the entire team to work outside the norm.
LEAN PROCESS
Lean construction is the process of reducing waste (time,
material, and labor) and increasing value.
Typically, the waste that is reduced in the Lean process consists
of change orders, poor information flow and rework. The
objective is to create value from the new asset.
OPPORTUNITIES
FOR BIM OWNERS DEVELOPERS
BIM’s role in the future for owners and developers is on the rise
as more companies come to understand its uses as even more
manufacturing takes place. Job training is gaining importance,
and software-based fabrication engineers are better informed.
Factors such as increasing ROI are providing positive feedback.
The top project-related benefits that contractors enjoy thanks
to BIM are reduced errors, fewer omissions and less reworking,
all of which have immediate positive impacts and contribute to
stronger ROI.
Contractors cite BIM’s ability to enhance collaboration amongst
key team members as its most important contribution to
improving the project delivery process. The more deeply
construction companies are becoming engaged with BIM, the
greater their ability to receive its benefits and to generate a very
high ROI.
· Three quarters of construction companies report a positive ROI
on their BIM program investment, and have clear ideas about
how to further improve ROI.
· Fewer errors and omissions, less rework and lower construction
costs are among the top five BIM benefits cited by contractors.
PROPERTY OWNER
One-third of property owners are required to implement BIM in
all new projects.
DEVELOPER
65% of developers ask all contractors and architects to
implement BIM.
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER – FACILITY
MANAGER
Facility managers in the UK are using BIM to capitalize on
benefits, like cost efficiency and an improved lifecycle for
building projects.
ENGINEER, ARCHITECT AND BUILDER
75% of construction companies believe that their investments in
BIM has increased their ROI, which in many cases exceeds 25%.
PROJECT MANAGER
A Project Manager who specializes in BIM is a key figure for
business. There is growing demand in the AECO industry for
professionals who can excel at this profession.
· Over the next two years, contractors expect the percentage of
their work that involves BIM will increase by an average of 50%.
· ROI increases directly with a contractor’s level of BIM
engagement, as represented by BIM experience, skill level and
commitment to doing a high percentage of their work in BIM.
· Contractors in all markets are planning significant investments
to expand their BIM programs over the next two years, including
an increasing focus on internal and external collaborative
procedures, as well as on mobile hardware and BIM software.
Owners’ demand for BIM has had a two-fold increase over the
last few years, and is currently being mandated by federal
agencies in the US, as well as governments in Europe, Singapore,
Australia and other countries around the world. This is due
to improvements needed in the traditional construction
process, saving a tremendous amount of time and money while
mitigating risk for the project stakeholders involved.
Note: ROI = Return on Investment

“BIM IS A TRANSFORMATIVE TECHNOLOGY, VERY SIMILAR
TO THE INTERNET. MUCH LIKE INTERNET ADOPTION, IT IS
INITIALLY BEING USED TO AUTOMATE KNOWN WORKFLOWS
AND LEGACY INFORMATION. AS THIS TECHNOLOGY BECOMES
BETTER UNDERSTOOD, IT WILL SOON BE USED TO CHANGE
AND IMPROVE CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES. FUNDAMENTALLY,
THE OWNER COMMUNITY HAS NOT BENEFITED FROM THE
INFORMATION AGE, WHILE THE ADVENT OF TECHNOLOGY
HAS CREATED A HIGH LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY TO THE
CONSUMER. BIM IS CHANGING THE OWNER’S PROCESSES
AND SHAPING THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS.”

EXECUTIVE PROGRAM
CAREER DEVELOPMENT
The purpose of our professional global executive program is to prepare the participant
and teach them how to overcome new challenges through the use of practical cases.
In the chart above, the contents are organized according to the various professional
disciplines. The first delves into the science of investigation and related research,
while the professional programs focus on working with real projects in an international
and collaborative environment. It helps develop the skills necessary for working in an
engineering firm and applying new technologies such as BIM. Many of the participants
in our Executive Program are owners, developers and other working industry
professionals, so the knowledge and skills we teach must be compatible across all
those fields.

THE LEARNING CURVE
-
The learning curve describes the degree of success achieved in learning over a period
of time. This diagram has two axes: the vertical represents the elapsed time, and the
horizontal, the volume of knowledge and skills achieved during that time.
When the participant completes the program and specializes through our executive
program, they acquire 80% of the knowledge needed in a specific area, allowing them
to tackle most of a project single-handedly.
Participants soon realize that the course studies are not simple theoretical content.
Rather, it’s a valuable research-based program developed from the actual experiences
of a cast of experts in the sector.
The current market requires many agents, managers and stakeholders who are capable
from the outset to develop safe, efficient and productive projects. Zigurat’s aim is to
provide the knowledge and skills that the participant needs to achieve full professional
development.

After the first theory module, where ten BIM Dimensions
are dissected, and the second practical module, applying
concepts to real case studies, it is time for you to create
your own case study and simulate the decision making
process.
This last 40-hour module is designed to help you to decide
on your own needs while working with a personal advisor.
There are two possibilities: to create a BIM Implementation
Plan (BIP) or to create a BIM Execution Plan (BEP).
A BIM Implentation Plan is the set of specific actions
necessary to successfully implement BIM both in public
and private companies. We will help you to set your own
BIP action plan for your organization.
A BIM Execution Plan is the main protocol document for
a BIM project. A BEP can be used to create a financial
proposal for the delivery of a building or infrastructure
with all of the necessary documentation.You can choose to
execute this plan with one of your own existing projects.
MODULE 2 MODULE 3REAL CASE STUDIES - BIM IMPLEMENTATION PERSONAL BIM IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT
We have benchmarked the best case study methodologies
used in business schools (such as Harvard, Aalborg
University, and IESE) and have translated them for the
construction sector.
We have asked 50 professionals and experts to create their
own case studies, based on their own experiences. Each
one presents the conceptual framework of a company
or a project and the solution generated to solve it. Case
studies cover all building sectors, and are divided into two
sections, buildings and infrastructures.
You will be able to choose any case study, based on your
professional interests.

· Hospitals
· Smart City
· Hotels
· Offices
· Public Infrastracture
· Airports
· Ports
· Block Housing
· Water Channels
· Roads, Highways

members. Participants are expected to attend them
(although they are recorded and uploaded to the virtual
campus for participants who can not attend them for
personal or professional reasons).
WHAT IF I CAN NOT ATTEND A CLASS OR
PRESENTATION?
The program is presented entirely online, so you will never
have to travel except by choice. This convenience is taken
into account when an event or seminar takes place, which
is why we periodically hold virtual summits and online
conferences throughout the year, in which participants can
ask questions directly to the lecturers. What’s more, these
sessions are recorded and uploaded to our virtual campus,
so you can watch them whenever it is convenient for you.
WHAT IS THE AVAILABILITY OF THE TUTORS

ARE THREE MONTHS NEEDED TO COMPLETE
THE PROGRAM, OR CAN THE PARTICIPANT
FINISH EARLY BY PUTTING IN MORE EFFORT?
The Global Executive Program has a start date and final
date, allowing everyone to pursue the same agenda at the
same time. It follows a firm curriculum that ensures the
participant will understand the procedures as the program
progresses. In this way, they will have enough time to meet
expectations from day one without being left behind. This
