BIM Benchmarking

Posted by Vimyrka Plaskett

BIM technology intends to create a common platform that the project team (owners, designers, contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and facility managers) can use to collaborate and ensure total quality management of the building process. What BIM quality management measures has your organization considered or implemented to support this effort? Any challenges?

BIM quality management is driven by redefinition of work process, training of people and implementation of new technology. The biggest challenge facing the industry is management of data both internnaly and externally. Many “best practices” are being adopted from other industries. The basic challenge is due to the fragmentation of the AEC industry has to do with “platform”. As no one stakeholder can afford to deploy a platform (like Boeing has for PLM for their stakeholders) there will be a need for a common platform that incorporates rules that manage the quality process.

One way my company is looking to strengthen our BIM platform is through a consulting service.  While I’m not sure how many others would want to do the same, I figured I’d pass it along to all of you.
