The BIM Revolution A revolution is underway throughout the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Many industry leaders are promoting and nurturing a shift from building to assembling. This is a fundamental shift from a business-operating model where everything is unique to a paradigm where much is repeatable and off the shelf. One in which building products are pre-packaged and assembled rather than being designed, manufactured, delivered, and installed for a single use. In this new paradigm, Building Information Modeling (BIM) plays a core role in the development, execution, and support of what is designed, built, and maintained. Building products manufacturers and fabricators, as well as designers and builders of the world’s infrastructure, stand to gain significant benefits from this shift in thinking and working in this historically slow to evolve industry. Page 2 CIMdata PLM Industry Summary The AEC industry designs and constructs everything from houses to apartment complexes, schools, office buildings, skyscrapers, refineries, power plants, bridges, dams, and factories; in short: any and all structures. Some of their finest work is flat on the ground, as airports, freeways, and mass-transit rail systems. Underground, AEC deals with subway systems, water mains, gas pipeline networks, electrical conduits and associated infrastructure, sewer lines, and storm-drainage tunnels and supporting facilities. All of these require close and consistent collaboration with building products manufacturers and fabricators. The incorporation of discretely manufactured products, e.g., windows, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, and electrics, is pervasive throughout the structures designed and built by AEC firms. The coordination necessary from a design and assembly perspective is significant. Without a common collaboration and communication mechanism, the AEC industry will continue to deliver projects late and over budget to a greater extent than necessary. It is clear that the old way of working is no longer good enough. Today’s designed and built facilities are more complex than ever, requiring significantly more collaboration than before between the AEC firm and its building products manufacturers and fabricators. Such collaboration needs to start early in the process and be maintained throughout the facility’s life. These facilities are becoming systems of systems, e.g., the HVAC system is connected to the security system, which is also connected to the lighting system. This interconnected system design enables advanced features such as selective heating and lighting of occupied areas. This approach often requires
