SkyBIM Cloud based management & real-time costing of BIM projects
SkyBIM is a cloud-based platform designed to enhance collaboration and efficiency in the building industry by digitally capturing and sharing all project information throughout a building's lifecycle. It addresses issues of declining productivity and fragmentation in construction by providing a comprehensive model that integrates real-world data, cost estimates, and project documents. The platform enables seamless communication and coordination among project stakeholders, positioning it as a transformative tool for future design and construction projects.

Editor's Notes
- #7 A lot of people don’t know thishttp://www.aecbytes.com/viewpoint/2004/issue_4.htmlThe productivity of the construction industry, as measured by constant contract dollars of new construction work per hourly work hour, has gradually declined (with some modest exceptions) over the past 40 years at an average compound rate of -0.59%/year (see Figure 1). This is particularly alarming when compared to the increasing labor productivity in all non-farm industries, which have experienced an increasing productivity of 1.77%/year over the same time period. Over the past decade, this trend has slightly improved but the decline in construction labor productivity relative to the rest of the industry has continued.This is a serious problem which indicates that over the past 40 years, construction projects have required significantly more field work hours per dollar of contract. In other words, the construction industry seriously lags other industries in developing and applying labor saving ideas and in finding ways to substitute equipment for labor. While there are a number of construction tasks that have been made more productive through the use of labor saving equipment, it is clear that, looking at the whole industry, there is a significant productivity problem. Why is this the case and what can be done about it? First, let's review the productivity data shown in Figure 1. Despite the fact that there has been a significant adoption of new information technology (IT) by the construction industry over the past 35 years, these applications tend to run in a stand-alone mode that does not permit improved collaboration by the project team, e.g., each designer uses a separate CAD/CAE system, CPM is independent of cost control which is independent of project changes to the drawings and specs, etc. Thus, while computers now generate much information, they ultimately produce a paper output, which then must be manually reviewed so that relevant data can be entered into another program, e.g., CAD drawings are plotted so that estimators can use them for making a cost estimate. This fragmentation causes increased effort and time and has greatly reduced the ability of the project team to respond quickly and effectively to changes in scope, site conditions, delivery delays, etc. Thus, despite the widespread use of IT, it has not had a significant impact on overall performance.
- #9 Underlying Needs - Solving The ProblemThe industry offers variety 3D BIM model viewers, the most popular coming from Autodesk & Microstation. The typical workflow for these products involves each team member to upload their latest BIM models. Afterwards one person is typically assigned the task of aggregating all of the BIM models into one for viewing by all of the team members (Arch, Struct, MEP, Contractors, Owers). The problem with this “Traditional Approach” is in the flow of information. As changes are made in the design, from any one of the disciplines, those changes must be relayed to all parties affected by those changes…thus the cycle of uploading the latest files, and the file aggregation begins all over again. In the background there’s quite a bit of “disconnected information” such as cost estimates, project schedules, etc. that become antiquated as soon as the design changes.

For example:4D scheduling5D Cost EstimationProcurement and Material TrackingConstruction StatusQA/QC Check lists and their statusPunch Listing statusAsset Management/FMControl Systems Monitoring
- #19 SkyBIM stores all the information collected over building’s lifecycle – (not just for cost estimating)
- #24 What is unique about SkyBIM is that all the "real-time" BIM data is securely hosted in the cloud, allowing anywhere, anytime collaboration. For example, here is a live fully-editable link (http://bit.ly/ex6iah) to an interior wall in an sample SkyBIM estimate, that allows you to:Edit a product's costsEdit and manage a product's assemblyInvite 'suppliers' to provide pricingAssign a long description to the productAssign a labor crew to a productFind products in SkyBIM to add as ingredients to the product's assemblyFind Craftsman products in SkyBIM to add as ingredients to the product's assemblyView products that have been bookmarkedModify a product's classificationsAssign a manufacturer to a productView the product's Revit based specificationsInvite people to collaborate in the editing of this productRoom Assemblyhttp://bit.ly/swhyxRhttp://bit.ly/uKPtjUWall Assemblyhttp://bit.ly/ueJuXzhttp://bit.ly/tqsYQVEquipment Assemblyhttp://bit.ly/swFdOchttp://bit.ly/vPbSD2Door Assemblyhttp://bit.ly/w3FyIThttp://bit.ly/tRJsyp

- #43 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Project_Deliveryhttp://www.bdcnetwork.com/article/449683-BIM_research_New_IPD_document_quantifies_savings_shows_obstacles-full.phpThe inspiring vision of IPD is that of a seamless project team, not portioned by economic self interest of contractual silos of responsibility, but a collection of companies with a mutual responsibility to help one another meet an owner’s goals. To support that vision, AEs, CMs, (architects/engineers, construction managers) and their lawyers are crafting management processes and contract terms intended to align the interests of the key project team with the project mission, increase efficiency, reduce waste, and make better buildings.”The main crux of IPD is around the idea of assembling all parties involved on a project as early as possible—ideally during schematic design—to provide a collective expertise to the development of a project before anything is designed. To incentivize parties, shared risk/shared reward contracts are established upfront with an understanding that all parties are working together for the good of the project.DEFINITIONIntegrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to reduce waste and optimize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication and construction.Integrated Project Delivery principles can be applied to a variety of contractual arrangements and Integrated Project Delivery teams will usually include members well beyond the basic triad of owner, architect, and contractor. At a minimum, though, an Integrated Project includes tight collaboration between the owner, the architect, and the general contractor ultimately responsible for construction of the project, from early design through project handover.OVERVIEWIntegrated Project Delivery uses business structures, practices, and processes to collaboratively use the talents and insights of all participants in the design, construction and fabrication process. Beginning when the project is first conceptualized, the integrated process continues throughout the full life cycle of the facilities.Integrated Project Delivery encourages early contribution of knowledge and experience and requires proactive involvement of key participants. Responsibility is placed on the most able person with decisions being made on a “best for project” basis. Although it is possible to achieve Integrated Project Delivery without Building Information Modeling, it is the opinion and recommendation of this study that Building Information Modeling is essential to efficiently achieve the collaboration required for Integrated Project Delivery.
