Description
This class provides must-have knowledge for management-level facility owners, operators, contractors, architects, and consultants seeking objective methods to inform decisions as well as evaluate and optimize the success of Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementation for projects and enterprises. The class covers the bimSCORE evaluation framework developed at Stanford University Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE). We will discuss original methods developed to establish realistic goals, benchmark to global best practices, select scenarios for BIM investment, track progress, and calculate ROI. We will demonstrate scientific methods you can use to report on maturity of BIM implementations and compare results with other current projects around the world, using metrics to inform investment decisions and drive improvement. Special emphasis will be placed on the importance of ongoing evaluation and performance tracking to maximize BIM value throughout project lifecycles.
Key Learnings
- Describe best practices for BIM implementation
- Objectively view the BIM management process and identify areas for improvement
- Develop and track quantitative performance metrics
- Justify investment in BIM by calculating a BIM ROI for all stakeholders and phases
