Building Information Modeling (BIM) spans the lifecycle of a construction project. It enables clients to visualize final working buildings and the layers of the construction process. EMJ teams use BIM to identify potential project obstacles and enable operational efficiency. It is imperative to hold the BIM Roadmap Planning Meeting early in the project lifecycle so that all opportunities are captured. BIM Roadmap Planning
ACTION DISCOVER Meet to collectively determine BIM uses and goals for the project. Participants include: • Estimators • Project management team • Developer
RESULT
A collaborative BIM Execution Plan provides clear direction, responsibilities and resource requirements, which guide the team to achieve the project’s goals. The EMJ team creates customized contract exhibits for designers and subcontractors, ensuring the BIM-related deliverables are achievable. This information provides a solid foundation for the BIM process as the project moves forward.
• Architect • Engineer • Facility manager • Owner
BENEFITS Comprehensive BIM roadmap planning early in the project allows stakeholders to utilize all components of BIM to their full potential.
The process ensures transparency so that all parties are clear as to roles and responsibilities moving forward.
Clients may opt to use BIM turnover or facilities management components, if addressed in early decision phase BIM planning.
Value Large construction firms have seen a 5% decrease or more in final construction costs through use of BIM-enabled workflows. This is only achievable if planned early in the project life cycle.
