BIM – Sustaining Technology or Disruptive Innovation?
Why should we care?What is the Impact of BIM on the Practice of Architecture?
Redefines the design and documentation process.
How does it Redefine the design and documentation process?
Conjoint relationship between 2D, 3D and analytical documentation reduces design ambiguities and streamlines process.Front-end loads design process: more time spent in schematics, less in CD’s (impact on billing models)
Does it change a firms operating cost metrics?
Higher overhead – increased software costs, increased hardware costs, increased training expense.
How does BIM Cross over traditional limits of project liability?
Traditional view: bid documents posses an inherent “vagueness”.
The BIM value proposition: BIM model refinement will take the place of the shop drawing process. But who will refine the model? Who “owns” the model liability?
How will your firm’s revenue stream be affected by a disruptive change in your project delivery process?

As a Building Information Modeler at a construction mangement firm, this post really made me think. Somedays, it seems like BIM is a sustaining technology, but most days it is more of a disruptive innovation. Thanks for the insightful discussion topic.
