2. Simple Message BIM is the tool buildingSMART is the approach Build building electronically before you build it physically Collect information once and re-use throughout the facility lifecycle Cut out non-value added effort (waste)

3. Simple Message buildingSMART will: –Deliver a facility sooner –A lower cost higher quality facility –With few or no change orders –Delver a more energy efficient facility –Deliver a more sustainable facility –Deliver a more environmentally friendly facility

4. Agenda Last Month – BIM 101 Tonight – buildingSMART Case Studies –National BIM Standard –Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBIE) –Specifiers Property Sets –Sample Projects –BIMStorm Los Angles

That allowed the team to solve conflicts before construction….Further the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection trades reported only 43 hours of re-work out of 2,500 hours of work. There were no requests for information or change orders from interferences between 3D modeled systems.” Engineering News Record November 26, 2007 Sutter Health
