About the Qatar BIM User Day:
Qatar University, HOCHTIEF ViCon and Teesside University proudly take the initiative to facilitate modern and innovative methods in the Gulf construction industry. The focus is Building Information Modeling (BIM), and our aim is to establish a knowledge platform with government, research and industry experts. The User Day aims to help people to share knowledge, discuss new technologies, and identify new potentials for BIM. More information: www.bimuserday.com Follow BUD on Twitter @bimuserday
2. Why is this still so hard?!

Good news is…
• Every project is different
• There are basic commonalities
• Don’t know needs in advance
• Smart people can work it out
• Information is out of sync
n

• Limitless information
• The cloud
• A lot of BIM data isn’t BIM

• Systems can handle this
• Automation to pull info forward
i.e. it’s always going to be hard, but it’s not too hard
project management + system management + information management

42. Outlook of BIM?
A few of many trends…

lo
o
Scale
• Unlimited continuum of data from Urban / Global to Detail
Connectedness & convergence
• BIM -> GIS, FM, Embedded Systems
• Mashup of data/intelligence
Collaboration & inclusiveness
• Globally distributed concurrent design
• BIM for public engagement
ry

Model intelligence
• Self configuring / optimizing / documenting objects
• Interoperability on demand
• Fault tolerance & indeterminacy mgmt.
e
G
Process Change & Process Controls
• Governance and Risk Managment
• Formalized vs. Self configuring / organic processes
Can we innovate on process as we have on systems design?

Things that are changing
5-10 years
n
h
•
•
The speed of the innovation cycle has arrived in AEC
The boxes are being shaken, new roles and organizations are emerging
•
•
Internationalization will create opportunities, in the face of relentless commoditization
Production will trend toward zero as a measure of value.
•
•
Convergence of construction and manufacturing
Convergence of digital and physical, planned and actual, facility and occupancy systems
•
The consolidation phase of AEC has begun
•
Digital expertise will be commodity
•
Information will represent power, and the potential for authority.
