The construction productivity

By |July 27th, 2015|

Around the world, ever-larger capital projects are being undertaken. Better project management and technological innovation can improve the chances of success.

Three factors are defining the future of large-scale capital projects. First, investment is growing fast. In 2013, global investment in energy, infrastructure, mining, and real-estate-related projects was about $6 trillion; by 2030, that, could be $13 […]

Leveraging BIM In Facility Management

By |July 12th, 2015|

Many owners are leveraging building information modeling (BIM) for design and construction. However, most aren’t benefitting from the rich data in the model when it comes to facilities management. Using BIM within a facilities management system allows users to reduce maintenance costs, save on future construction with an accurate model, and link existing systems to […]

The route to BIM in 10 steps

By |June 27th, 2015|

The race is on. By 2016, all centrally procured government construction UK projects, no matter their size, must be delivered using Building Information Modelling, or BIM. This will extend right through the supply chain, from the largest contractor to the smallest supplier, and it is hoped, will lead to the industry-wide adoption of BIM as […]

How BIM Saved $10 Million

By |June 23rd, 2015|

Mo money, mo problems.
Budgets exceeds projections. The eastern span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge notoriously cost $5 billion more than projected and a new transit hub near the World Trade Center in New York is similarly billions over budget. Those are just two high-profile scenarios.

Sources of cost overruns vary from project to project. In the case of recently completed […]

BIM for Safety in Construction

By |June 17th, 2015|

BIM-based design improves considerably the safety of a building over its life cycle – from the construction phase to the maintenance of the occupied building. When standards and regulations are defined by programs, inspection and design may in the future be automatic at all phases of work, says Research Scientist  Kristiina Sulankivi at VTT Technical Research Centre.

BIM has generally […]
