He is an Associate Member of the American Institute of Architects, and an Adjunct Professor in the School of Architecture & Design at New York Institute of Technology.

Roundtable discussion:

Building/Facilities Roundtable:
Cost Control/Analysis – a financial model for BIM in Operations

When we look at BIM the conversation is centered around Design and Construction.  It’s in these realms that the cost savings and improvements in efficiency have been well documented over the last 10 years.  When we talk about BIM and the resulting 3D models of the facilities, does their usefulness end at the end of Major Construction?  Our discussion will center around the postulate that the purpose of BIM is to support ongoing Operations and Maintenance.  For this we need a cost model that supports the use of BIM in O&M.

This Roundtable discussion will explore how BIM can and should be used in Operations.  Once we start to look at BIM in operations we have a 20-30 year Lifecyle during which the BIM models must be maintained and there is a cost associated with this work.  The discussion will emphasize what benefit the BIM model has on operations and what (if any) efficiencies can be derived from using a BIM Model in maintenance activities.  We will explore the cost model and how we measure efficiency and what the potential return on investment looks like.
