Providing the opportunity for the kind of collaboration that the construction industry so badly needs… Design-Build has a spectrum, ranging from almost as dysfunctional … all the way to almost as collaborative as IntegratedProjectDelivery. Shifting Design-Build toward IPD. Owners, this is bad for you.
Granger Construction celebrates 65 years of collaborative projectdelivery with the Ottawa County Family Justice Center project in West Olive, MI. The project team achieved unparalleled success for the project and its stakeholders, including budget reliability and enhanced efficiencies.
Projectdelivery methods set the tone and largely dictate the relative success of any facility construction, renovation, repair, or sustainability project. Projectdelivery methods must therefore be a component of BIM, a fact many/most 3D visualization software vendors appear to have ignored. So what is IPD?
Ensuring COLLABORATION from Planning, through Procurement, through ProjectDelivery, and Beyond for repair, renovation, maintenance, and new construction requires an integrated outcome-focused process. All of the tools are services are readily available for any real property owner to tailor IPD to their organization.
If your are a facilities Owner, Builder, AE, or Architect and are TIRED OF THE SAME OLD PROJECT BS, keep reading… THE TECHNOLOGY MYTH – Technology will solve my construction issues. Technology alone won’t solve your stream of late, over-budget, and poorly completed repair, renovation, maintenance, or new build projects.
How real property owners and facilities management professionals traditionally plan, procure, and deliver projects is the most significant barrier to improving capital reinvestment performance outcomes. In fact, less than 20% of all projects are delivered on-time and on-budget, or per stakeholder requirements.
Ensure robust nontechnical risk management by developing long-term relationships with well defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, information requirements, and deliverables. Individual projects WILL NOT consistently achieve bst value outcomes unless they are conducted within an overall programmatic environment!
A critical aspect involves balancing standardization of activities and information with empowering those doing the work on site. This involves creating a guideline that takes an organization through a required changemanagement process and established a foundation of valid, actionable information. Proven Solutions.
While articles and discussions continue about Facility Management and BIM, in reality they are virtual synonyms. Facility management is a profession that encompasses multiple disciplines to ensure functionality of the built environment by integrating people, place, process and technology. – NIBS.
Also, the “let’s keep the Owner in the dark” or the “let’s not work together”, and the “bid low and make it up in change orders” , or “let’s accept the lowest bid and hope for the best” approaches to ruin. Building InformationManagement Framework - BIMF.
Construction cost knowledge management is a component of integrated LEAN construction planning, procurement, and projectdelivery. Information must be presented in plain English, using industry standard terms and definitions, and organized in a standard data format (CSI Masterformat).
Source of Quotations: Dawn Naney, Clay Goser and Marcelo Azambuja – “ Accelerating the Adoption of Lean Thinking in the Construction Industry ” on the topic of adopting lean management theory within the construction industry. Many conclusions can be drawn from Lean Construction’s (BIM’s) adoption lifecycle.
An integratedprojectdelivery method is arguably required in order to achieve desired quality, satisfaction, timing, and cost for over 90% of renovation, repair, or new construction projects executed. Integratedprojectdelivery method. An Example… CDE and LEAN JOC Construction Delivery.
Cloud-computing will have a much more significant impact upon how the built environment is managed than 3D visualization. Information drives cost savings and higher efficiency. BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment support by digital technology. Poor life-cycle management knowledge transfer.
That said, most JOC Programs are not designed, implemented, and managed properly. Job Order Contracting was created several decades ago as a means to help get projects started quickly. Projects are completed on-time and on-budgets in a quality manners and for a reasonable cost. It was simply a way to speed procurement.
Learning how to effciently manage dynamic project is the first step toward solving FM and construction waste. The root cause is a bad process, the solution is the application of systems thinking and the adoption of robust frameworks that focus upon People, then Process, then Information, and finally enabling Technology.
Any real property owner can control construction costs for facilities repair, renovation, maintenance, and new build projects. Consistently delivering quality projects on time and on budget simply requires leadership, accountability, and commitment. Both IPD and JOC have been proven for decades and are well evolved.
Efficient ongoing life-cycle management of facilities is the key to sustainability. The culture of our industry and awareness of the true meaning of BIM need dramatic if/not disruptive change and improvement. Further, collaboration is the key to BIM, and collaboration is dictated by AEC delivery methods.
Scott Martin, PE, LEED AP, DBIA Building Team Contractors Designers Designers / Specifiers / Landscape Architects Engineers Facility Managers Architects Building Owners Recently, I was asked to present to a group of aspiring engineers at the Florida A&M-Florida State University College of Engineering.
BIM is the life-cycle modeling and management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Forget the 3D visualization distraction for a moment and let’s focus on the important component of the BIM acronym; the “I” for information. Accurate, timely information is required for sound decision-making.
The risk of change is high, however, not pursuing fundamental change is potentially catastrophic. Two of these solutions are IntegratedProjectDelivery (IPD) and Job Order Contracting (JOC). Faster, Higher Quality, and Lower Cost ProjectDelivery. Fully Compliant. Common Source of Truth.
Critical components of CONSTRUCTION PROJECT success include communication, collaboration, a defined mutually agreed upon operating relationship and an associated fully defined project scope of work… all of which are largely determined by the construction delivery method. Construction management is a process!
Public Sector Facilities Management Professionals – NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE. Now is the time for public sector facilities management professional to reassert themselves as strategic partners with senior leadership as strategic partners and enablers of changemanagement. The first steps.
Public Sector Facilities Management Professionals – NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE. Now is the time for public sector facilities management professional to reassert themselves as strategic partners with senior leadership and enablers of changemanagement.
As they pass the emergent stage, BIM and cloud computing will continue to impact projectdelivery. Emergent disruptive technologies and construction delivery methods are altering both the culture and day-to-day practices of the construction, renovation, repair, and sustainability of the built environment.
Time and time again, we’ve seen that the most successful teams and projects are the ones with solid communication and collaboration practices. Taking place in Las Vegas from November 13-15, AU 2023 offers insightful workshops, expert-led sessions, and networking opportunities to foster team collaboration and elevate your project outcomes.
BIM (Building Information Technology) and THE CLOUD (Cloud Computing) are disruptive technologies converging to significantly alter traditional construction and facility management practices. Building InformationManagement (BIM) is the life-cycle management of facilities [1] supported by digital technology.
The construction industry uses different kinds of agreements depending on the project’s scope, delivery, schedule, budget, and the parties involved. Knowing which contract to use when is critical to ensuring a successful outcome in delivery, customer satisfaction, and profit. integratedprojectdelivery contract.
While at first perhaps a bit intimidating… illustrating the life-cycle management within a BIM context is relatively straightforward. Model views and overall life-cycle management are similar in this regard. 800×600. The Process Side of BIM = Collaboration: People, Process, & Technology.
The common facilities management challenges can be mitigated using LEAN alternative construction planning, procurement, and projectdelivery. Common Facilities Management Challenges: Limited Budget Limited Resources & Staff Deferred Maintenance Prioritizing Projects Meeting Project Timelines.
BIM is not about software or technology but about CULTURE CHANGE and CHANGEMANAGEMENT. BIM is about simplifying and adding visibility to the life-cycle management of the built environment. Collaborative, Efficient ProjectDelivery Methods (IPD- IntegratedProjectDelivery, JOC – Job Order Contracting …).

Building Information Modeling, BIM, is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. As such, the core requirements of BIM include collaboration, standardized information, multiple domain competencies, and several supporting interoperable technologies. No so much.
Building InformationManagement (that’s right forget the “modeling” distraction), BIM, is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Changemanagement is likely the most significant barrier to entry for BIM, as other issues are trivial in comparison.
The successful integration of People, Process, Information, and Technology leads to the consistent delivery of quality repair, renovation, maintenance, sustainability, and new construction projects on-time and on- budget. In fact, a shift from ProjectManagement to Program Management is needed.
The value of BIM lies in the support of efficient life-cycle facility management processes supported by common terms and digital technology. BIM requires a change in the basic foundation of how Owners, AEs, Contractors, Subs, Oversight Groups, Building Product Manufactures, Community, etc. When will BIM become mainstream?

A Guide to Construction Services Procurement would be incomplete without a discussion of collaborative LEAN construction planning and management methodology. The primary mistake that organizations make in procuring construction services in support of their facilities management needs is that they do not manage their providers.
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Further life-cycle management of the built environment requires significant “changemanagement” in most organizations whether Owners, AEs, Contractors, Oversight Groups, etc.
The Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operations, Owner (AECOO) sector must engage in collaborative construction delivery methods in over achieve any measurable performance improvement in the life-cycle management of the built environment. Building InformationManagement, Model and Modeling.
Governmental change. Governments have the power to reshape regulatory bodies by streamlining planning and approvals processes, reducing informalities and corruption, and encouraging more transparency with cost and performance. The solution? Many governments also allocate grants for innovation and training. Procurement. The end goal?
