BIM Planning Guide for Facility Owners
The goal of this research is to develop and broadly disseminate a guide for owners that provides a structured procedure to develop a strategy for integrating BIM throughout their organization including the following focus areas:
- Defining Standard BIM Processes and Practices: A procedure will be developed to help owners define the most appropriate uses for BIM within their own practices along with identifying the services that they should procure to gain benefit within the design and construction processes.
- Designing Information Integration Strategies: A process will be defined to help owners design specific information exchange requirements for configuring and integrating their facility management systems with the information model. Case studies with owner organizations will illustrate this procedure and document specific methods to move information from the design and construction phases into the information systems maintained by the owner or facility manager.
- Identifying BIM Contract Requirements: Issues that are important to include within the owner's contracts with service providers will be identified and categorized so that the owner can more easily develop their contract requirements. A repository of existing templates and publicly available contract documents will be identified and organized by content approach to provide guidance for owners when defining their minimum BIM needs from a project team.
