WHAT IS BIM?

I is for Information
Relational
3D?
CAD?
BIM IS: A TECHNOLOGY

BIM :: TECHNOLOGY :: INFORMATION

BIM :: TECHNOLOGY :: RELATIONAL


Relational data allows coordination,
and discovery
of relationships
allows us to take multiple pieces of Information and cross reference them, making
connections, finding correlations between content and criteria that inform design
decisions and streamline coordination.

BIM :: TECHNOLOGY :: PARAMETRIC
In statistics, a parametric model or parametric family or finite-dimensional model is a family of
distributions that can be described using a finite number of parameters. These parameters are
usually collected together to form a single k-dimensional parameter vector θ = (θ1, θ2, …, θk).
In 3D Software, Parametric means that the Data drives the Form, a reversed relationship from the idea
of sculpting, or traditional architecture.

BIM :: TECHNOLOGY :: PARAMETRIC
Parametric Modeling produces very functional traditional objects
And allows complex data to be used to create solutions to complex problems, or interesting forms.

BIM :: TECHNOLOGY :: 3D
IS BIM 3D?
Not Necessarily, but a Building is 3D, so it’s likely that 3D
information is stored in the information Model.
If not 3D, What is BIM?
• Constraints
• Relationships
• Organizational Structure
• “Parametric”
3D Models, and 2D Drawings are a common side-
effect of a BIM

 Easy to understand  Slow

 Easy to fix  Inaccurate
 Simple to maintain  Representational

 CAD:
 Simple,
 Reliable,  Less Slow

 Less Easy to understand  Less Inaccurate
 Less Easy to fix  Representational
 Less Simple to maintain  Same Concept… better

 BIM
 Goals are the same, Different technology
 End results are similar, Different path
 Much greater capacity for speed and volume
 Doesn’t drive the same way.

BIM :: PROCESS :: ITERATIVE ::

richer discussions
More integrated and

frequent contact reduces
the time individual
designers and disciplines
spend developing
potentially divergent
strategies.

BIM :: PROCESS :: ITERATIVE :: TIME & ENERGY SAVINGS

richer discussions
More integrated and

frequent contact reduces
the time spent
developing potentially
divergent strategies.
Integrated Modeling and

design can create more
focus, and reduce lost
time, increasing
efficiency.

BIM :: PROCESS :: FRONT-LOADED
If This is good because
Drawings, Documents Good Data makes good
are side effects of a design
well-constructed
Building Information Early Data means more
Database informed decisions
Then
Building the database Early Data = Opportunity
has to come first. for early analysis.
So
Database Development
Precedes traditional
output.

(BOMA)
Security, 6% Admin,
Grounds, 2% 11%
Fixed Expenses,
35%
Utilities, 19%
Cleaning, 12%
Repairs, 15%

Viewed over a 30 year period, initial building costs account
for approximately just 2% of the total, while operations
and maintenance costs equal 6%, and personnel costs
equal 92%.

Statistic: http://www.ase.org/uploaded_files/greenschools/School+Energy+Guidebook_9-04.pdf
Image: (Courtesy of Washington State Department of General Administration)

A typical school district with 4,000 students
pays over $400,000 for energy-related
utilities each year. Incorporating
energy-efficient design improvements 8%
could potentially save that district over 5%
$100,000 annually, enough to pay for
three maintenance positions; 7%
replacement of gym bleachers; all roof
maintenance, repair, and replacement 48%
needs over the life of the facilities; or
annual requirements for instructional
supplies.
