Decisions made early in the planning process have implications for the entire facility life cycle. BIMStorm AEC Game Changers expands the horizon beyond initial design and initial pricing with scenarios for campus, healthcare and airport projects by welcoming the APPA Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Work Group.
​

TCO Work Group focuses on creating a common framework for owners to manage cost, forecast investment needs and enable data driven decisions for facility asset management. Industry standards enable maintaining a sustainable future for all asset investments.

Learn how BIMStorm is adding TCO to:
  • San Jose Airport
  • California Community Colleges FUSION
  • SEPS2BIM for healthcare scenarios

BIM and COBie Before CAD (BC) 1968

7/24/2017

1 Comment

 
Architects have been wired to understand complex relationships of data in buildings and document them in schedules with types, instances, attributes and more, all related to COBie long before BIM or CAD.
Picture
Building documentation, either in hand drawn, CAD and/or BIM formats, inherently creates errors. However, COBie users benefit from the ability to easily spot discrepancies and errors because they are in a structured format. Perhaps the reason for COBie resistance and pushback come from the inability to hide problems.

Join the current BIMStorm to learn how COBie is much easier in 2017  than it was in 1968.
​Scenario 12 will include BIM2FM and COBie.
