10. FIATECH Vision and Path Forward Ric Jackson Managing Director The FIATECH Consortium Construction Industry Institute 2000 Annual Conference Nashville, Tennessee August 9, 2000

11. FIATECH Vision Owners, operators, contractors, and suppliers working together to accelerate the realization of Fully Integrated and Automated Project Processes for major capital facilities Accelerating and realizing the full promise FIAPP!

12. FIATECH Fully Integrated & Automated Project Processes Seamless integration of information flow among all participants throughout entire project life cycle Application of latest available proven technologies: –CAD and CAE –Advanced communications –Field sensing and tracking –Modularization –Pre-construction –Field automation –Construction automation Breakthrough improvements in quality, schedule, cost, resulting in improved ROI FIATECH makes FIAPP happen !

13. FIATECH Roadblocks to Achieving the Promise of FIAPP Highly fragmented industry –No common vision for FIAPP –No roadmap to achieve that vision –No common industry voice to lead development –Anti-trust and intellectual property issues Low research and development budgets –Costs too high for any one company Lack of common protocols and standards Each company is trying to do FIAPP independently!

14. FIATECH FIATECH will... Document industry needs and priorities Develop common industry vision for FIAPP Develop roadmaps to achieve FIAPP vision Develop projects to follow the roadmap Obtain leverage funding to accelerate progress...make FIAPP a reality for the construction industry!

15. FIATECH Funding Opportunities Cooperative R&D agreements National Science Foundation Advanced Technology Program Sloan Construction Program/UT Austin National Institutes of Safety & Health U.S. Congress Others

16. FIATECH U.S. Government spends $500M/yr on construction-related R&D –Many are FIAPP-related projects –Same interests as commercial industry Owners, contractors, suppliers, IT companies spend millions also –Technologies for major capital facilities construction, operation, & maintenance Funding Facts

17. FIATECH FIATECH Objectives 30-40% reduction in cost & schedule Reduced design changes and rework –concurrent engineering –supply chain management Rapid detection & correction of differences between design intent & construction Highly accurate "as-built" information for O&M and renovation

18. FIATECH Early Deliverables Interoperability protocols and software Effective deployment of existing IT technologies Field “as is” measurement systems IT applications adapted from manufacturing Virtual FIAPP test bed Simulation tools Economic assessment tools Focus on exploiting existing technologies.

19. FIATECH Membership in FIATECH Open to owners, operators, contractors, suppliers and others committed to achieving FIAPP and seamless integration of facilities to improve enterprise performance.
