BIM There & Done That:

Using Integrated Design & Procurement Information Systems

to Manage EPC Projects with Certainty

FIATECH ANNUAL CONFERENCE April 2009

John R. FishInformation Management Systems

In THEORY

In REALITY

“Managing with certainty, all the way to the end”

2 in the Room“Managing with certainty, all the way to the end”

BIM does NOT work as

advertised.

Not ALL Owners want

Intelligence.

OUR OWNER Requirements

Electronic Filing Systems for PAPER

Dumb Down Drawings

No ability to accept a model

ZERO clients using ANY intelligence

“Managing with certainty, all the way to the end”

TODAY

BIM: How we use it

OBJECTIVE: Use of Integrated Systems

to feed downstream users

CHALLENGES: Fragmentation/Silos

Overview of the systems

“Managing with certainty,

all the way to the end”

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Information & Materials must FLOW

To engineering

To procurement

To the jobsite

PULL what they need

Enter ONCE – Use by MANY

“Managing with certainty, all the way to the end”

ELIMINATE SEARCHING

INFORMATION &/or MATERIALS

INFORMATION

MANAGEMENT

The act of planning and controlling the

receipt, production, distribution, storage,

and retrieval of information

“Managing with certainty, all the way to the end”

OBJECTIVE

Get the right information to the right people

in the form and time required

to support a process or a decision.
