Designing buildings and facilities using data rich Building Information Modeling (BIM) is taking hold in the marketplace. Over the years, the discipline of construction project management has evolved as well, to go beyond helping organizations manage only the "build" phase of projects, to broader use managing complete project lifecycles. This evolution led to the introduction of Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM) software to optimize the plan, build, and operate phases of real estate and facility assets.
Below is a summary of a recent thought-leading white paper from Meridian Systems. Visit our website for the complete white paper titled "BIM and Project Management - Advancing Integrated Project Delivery on Capital Building Programs" to learn more about how ILM software can integrate with BIM models.

3D models can be a key building component present throughout an entire project lifecycle. For any building project, BIM provides a complete lifecycle perspective of design data, while ILM provides a complete lifecycle of operational business data. Used in conjunction with each other, BIM and ILM create many integration touch points that lead to even greater business value.
Ultimately, the value of integrating to each touch point will vary depending on your company's specific needs. This white paper explores several potential integration scenarios including:
 |
Plan phase examples for Design to Budget Development Integration and Bill of Materials integrated with Buyout Items |
|
Build phase scenarios including 4D schedule integration and how BIM integrates drawings |
|
And finally, how spatial and equipment models integrate with asset management in the operate phase |
As the market continues to adopt both BIM and ILM methodologies, the value propositions will begin to shake out as more companies experiment with each touch point opportunity. Read the complete white paper to discover more about these potential integration scenarios in detail. |
