Unit 4: BIM Adoption, Implementation and ROI
UNIT 4--This full-day, facilitator-led course is a mix of lecture, facilitated discussion and activities and case studies. This 8 hour course reviews several real-world case studies to analyze the cost, benefits and impacts of decision making.
Session 1 of this unit introduces the overall course structure and describes why this unit is so relevant today. This session defines key terms and sets the stage for the rest of the course, reinforcing the practical takeaways you will learn along the way.
Session 2 examines basic BIM implementation at the project level. This session focuses on how to establish and execute the BIM process, facilitate its adoption, and achieve integration on a single project.
Session 3 explores how companies (whether single- or multi- office) can successfully execute the BIM process on multiple projects simultaneously. We will also explore any differences in the adoption or integration of the process in this broader context.
Following successful completion of this unit, participants will have the ability to:
- Define adoption, implementation and return on investment.
- Describe why BIM is a disruptive practice today.
- Identify reactive and proactive BIM outcomes.
- Evaluate and select process adoption options.
- Describe the roles and responsibilities of practitioners.
- Identify consistent factors influencing BIM ROI.
