What is BIM?• Turn to the
person next to you• BIM in a
sentence…• 2 minutes
Oi !
What is BIM?• An emerging technology (Succar, 2008)• A 3D based information system (Arayici et al, 2011) • A process of generating, storing, managing, exchanging
and sharing building information (Eadie et al, 2013) • BIM is a collaborative way of working underpinned by
the digital technologies (Gov.uk, 2012)• BIM gets people and information working together
(RICS, 2014)• Data as a ‘living asset’? (Ward, ThinkFM, 2013)
James Clarke (2016) MBA dissertation, unpublished
What’s in a name?• Building information
modelling?• Building information
management?
BIMThoughts podcast, episode 1, March 2015
A holy trinity?
“Once in a generation” opportunity?• RIBA plan of work 2013, introduced May 2013• The most significant reworking since 1963
FM(+ BIM)
FM(now)
FM(+ GSL)
• Perceived benefits and potential challenges…?• Reservations, misunderstandings, operational focus• No mention (awareness?) of GSL or RIBA’s PoW
Research – current state of FM?
James Clarke (2016) MBA dissertation, unpublished
Technological potential – huge, evident
Cultural / behavioural change potential – huger!
James Clarke (2016) MBA dissertation, unpublished
Socio-technical theorySocial system• Structure• People• Culture
Technical system• Technology (devices, tools)• Tasks, techniques

So what?!
Opportunity?
• To walk right to the front of the queue…
• …and change the shape of the conversation for the right reasons?
A ‘Trojan Horse’ for FM?
Wait a minute. Sound familiar?• Structural engineers: “we’re always left out of the
conversation, or they come to us last…”
• Landscape architects: “we’re always left out of the conversation until it’s too late and our budget has been cut…”
• Quantity surveyors: etc etc…
Multidisciplinary collaboration…
Ian, FM Lecturer @ Sheffield Hallam:“An amazing opportunity for FM to shift the usual conversations and represent the end user at the design stage”
George @ BIM Academy:
“FM, engineers, landscape
and architects all getting
along!”
Peter @ Northumbria University:
“I’m surprised at the sheer volume of what
we’ve got done”
Mihailo, Street
Furniture @ Marshalls:
“Very impressed with
how everything fell
together”
Dave, QS @ Turner & Townsend:“Coordinating new objects for costing is very challenging…”
Steve @ Miller
Partnership Architects:
“Interesting to
compress six months’
work into one day!”
Stephen, Structural Engineer @ BGP:“The thought process and collaboration achieved in one day is remarkable ”
Chris, Landscape
Architect @ Colour
Urban Design:
“An amazing
experience, achieving
another steep learning
curve…”

A higher purpose
Risks and challenges• Exposing an (un)intelligent client
or their (un)intelligent FM representative
• ‘Decision densities’ and bottlenecksBIM does not solve these. It moves them
• Resourcingbattles we aren’t able to win
• FM becomes entrenched (again)as a technical discipline… if it ever managed to convince organisations it was anything more…

What difference do you see?
Three keytake-aways• Less technical,
more social• ‘Operational clash
detection’ is FM’s contribution.Tool up• Don’t expect an
invite to the existing conversation. Change the conversation
One last thought“The first revolution is when you change your mind about how you look at things, and see there might be another way to look at it that you have not been shown. What you see later on is the results of that…”
(Gil Scott-Heron, 1982)
