MARCH 20238holistic process of creating and managing information for a build asset is Building Information Modeling (BIM). On the basis of an intelligent model & enabled by a cloud-platform, BIM has integrated structured, multi-disciplinary data for production of a digital projection of an asset across its lifecycle, from planning & design to construction and operations.BIM allows design & construction teams for working more with efficiency, but it allows them to capture the data they create during the process to benefit operations and maintenance activities. Because of that factor, BIM mandates are increasing across the globe.BIM is a revolution because projects are delivered across industries, adding intelligence and efficiency to project execution­and connecting teams, data, and workflows at every stage of the project in the cloud for better project outcomes. BIM Interoperability project teams can work and communicate fluidly across disciplines and industries, regardless of preferred software tools and vendors.Digital ConsumerOn average, digitally literate consumers are increasing and expecting access to & control of data about for many aspects of their life. They have homes that are no different and are already using apps & services to manage their innovative systems, heating, lighting, and entertainment. This growing familiarity with intelligent systems is increasing consumer appetite & expectation & for data, which is beginning to impact builders of new homes.People who are buying properties in this new-world are known of how much digital information has been generated about their new home, which is no longer tenable to buzz them off with a pack of user manuals and some warranties. In contrast, most of the information would have been previously been stored on paper, PDF, or unconnected IT systems; homebuilders started digitization of the traditional handover pack into various digital forms, including apps and developer portals.BIM ProjectsAccording to a recent Re-Imagining BIM project that took a complete new look for how buyers of new homes expected to receive information and how it can be forced to them in an understandable and usable way. The study started with homeowner behavior. The researcher looked at the kinds of activity homeowners start running & maintain their homes & how better information could improve it. The researchers also looked at the formats information should be delivered to them to make it most useful.A prominent field that came along with the research was for homeowners to access layout & dimension information that can be shared digitally with furnishing companies, tradespeople, & other online-services. Homeowners thought of interactive floorplans, dimensioned-layouts, and building-data that they could load directly into other companies' apps.AHOW HOMEBUILDERS MAY MOVE PAST THE HANDOVER PACK BY REIMAGINING BIMEDITORIAL EXCLUSIVE
