"A typical $100m building project generates 150,000 separate documents: technical drawings, legal contracts, purchase orders, RFIs and schedules.”
“Project managers build warehouses just to store them. FedEx reputedly garnered$500 Million last year just shipping blueprints across America.“
“…the process of construction is itself repeated in its essentials from project to project. Indeed, research suggests that up to 80% of inputs into buildings are repeated.” (M4i)CHALLENGESChallenge:  Process WasteIssues

Editor's Notes

  1. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has now moved beyond initial acceptance and is being integrated into increasing numbers of businesses involved in all levels construction – whether directly or indirectly involved in the process. It is not just another piece of software for producing design documents, procurement or construction.  Rather, it involves a process of learning – taking some steps - then learning some more – then taking some more steps as a business fully integrates BIM into the entire workflow from visualization to supply chain management.  BIM can be implemented easily and successfully in the same way that systems and tools are integral to the way Toyota, Sony or Boeing operate.   BIM based systems will become central to OAECO development paths and uses will be different for each company. This session will explore not only where BIM presently but how you can start on the path to BIM adoption.  It will explore such topics as:  What will be the new business model? Will there be change in contract structure? What additions will I need to make for new deliverables? Are there any built-in dangers or incentives?How will I streamline internal operations: coordination, reviews, product selection, drawing production practices, projectLibraries?How will I streamline external communication: consultant coordination, when to distribute model information (ordrawings), review procedures, product selectionHow do we integrate construction review activities: coordination? The objective of this session is to bring you up to date with the trends, how to plan and implement change and what does the future hold for the OAECO industry as a collective whole?
