Read MoreChange Management
First step to succeed in the BIM Implementation is for the organization to realize the importance of this change at all levels. BIM Implementation should be driven by the higher management taking a structured approach to achieve both short term and long term goals.
This can be achieved by having a documented BIM Strategy in place.
BIM implementation strategy should cover the 3 aspects of change people, process and technology. It should also include the key process indicators to monitor the change.
People
Adapting to a new working environment while meeting the demand for higher quality design is a stressful process. Having a governance model in place to drive the implementation activities is important. Ensuring that everybody involved in the process are aware of the importance of this change and gaining their teams
support is the key
Process
Working in a BIM environment is more than a change in the software technology used. Organizational and project specific workflows are more collaborative with frequent communication. These procedures should be defined and tested as part of the BIM Strategy. Work-flows should cover both management and technology aspects.
Technology
The most obvious change to deal with during the implementation process is technology. BIM being the center of focus in the construction industry, new BIM software and tools are frequently introduced. Changing the core tools used at an organizational level requires careful analysis of the BIM Capabilities available in the software. Developing a technology upgrade plan as part of BIM Strategy is important.
All 3 aspects are equally important and are covered in detail in the later sections of the book.
