Simple.  \nWhat you’ll learn in this whitepaper:  \nDeconstructing the building lifecycle  \nCollaboration with Openings Studio  \nCase studies  \nAdopting new technologies isn’t easy, especially when it comes to processes built over time. But, for design and construction, aligning your systems to integrate with Building Information Modelling (BIM) standards can, and will, save time, effort, and frustration. Plus, it can add both significant value to processes and provide an opportunity to grow your business.  \nThere are a number of emerging and interrelated trends bringing significant changes to the AEC industry. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a relatively new construction delivery method that fosters a shared risk/reward alliance among owners, designers, builders, and suppliers. Sustainable construction now encompasses standards related to high performance building design (energy efficiency) and environmental and health product declaration documents. Maybe the most impactful change will be the shift toward lean construction practices and the renewed interest in modularization, prefabrication and pre-installed  \nhardware openings as cost saving alternatives.  \nArguably, BIM is the fuel behind the accelerated growth of these worldwide construction trends. Visualization, information, and collaboration bring greater clarity and efficiency to IPD, high performance benchmarking, and lean methodology and waste reducing practices. But the most important thing to convey here is that BIM adoption is a game-changer for collaboration, managing information, and overall operations for architects.  \nIn the following pages, we’ll walk through what you need to know to prepare for the months—and even years—ahead.  \nDeconstructing the building lifecycle  \nHow can the BIM process affect collaboration?  \nBuilding Owner  \nContractor  \nArchitect  \nDistributor  \nConsultants &  \nSpecification Writers  \n“The goal is for all stakeholders and trades to collaborate within a single source of truth—the model.”  \nSharing information isn’t a new concept, but how we share that information has changed. Traditionally what was used were hand drawings or line drawings—complete with elevations—to communicate design intent. Once the design was complete, it was up to everyone down the pipeline to figure out how to execute the vision.  \nBut architects have been adopting new technology solutions, as frustration with traditional methods have grown. Tech-savvy architects now use software such as Autodesk® Revit® or GraphicsoftArchiCAD to visualize, render and output documentation about a building. But the collaboration challenges still persist.  \nThe goal is for all stakeholders and trades to collaborate within a single source of truth—the model. Scheduling, planning and maintenance is visible, because all of the information about a building is integrated and shared in near real-time.  \nProduct information is meant to be shared across the“Building Lifecycle”from design and specification onto procurement, construction and installation and facility management. Then, the lifecycle finishes with disposal and aftermarket replacement.  \nSoftware is the enabling tool used to facilitate the BIM process. There are innumerable variations of BIM software applications developed to meet the specific needs of an architect, contractor, or facility manager. Interpret pre-defined standards from owners, as well as keeping them in the loop for all changes to the building model, is a key component to operational efficiency for an architecture firm.  \nUltimately, this can andwill save you time, money and frustration.  \nUnpacking building information  \nHowthe BIM process benefits architects  \nRegardless of where and how BIM software programs are developed and used, they all have one critical require","cbCaitHBwl6lhyeQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitHBwl6lhyeQ","pdf",11586577,16,"English","# What You’ll Learn in This Whitepaper\n## Deconstructing the building lifecycle\n## Collaboration with Openings Studio\n## Case studies\n# How BIM Process Affects Collaboration\n## Stakeholders as a single source of truth\n## Sharing information in near real-time\n# Unpacking Building Information\n## How BIM benefits architects\n## Content roles in a BIM environment\n# Merging the old with the new","[{\"question\":\"How does BIM improve collaboration among architecture project stakeholders?\",\"answer\":\"BIM supports collaboration within a single source of truth—the model—where scheduling, planning, and maintenance become visible through integrated information shared in near real-time.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the whitepaper say about the benefits of adopting BIM for architects?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes that exchanging information through a model is more important than visualization alone, helping architects reduce mistakes while saving time, effort, and frustration.\"},{\"question\":\"Who are the “creators” and “consumers” of content in a BIM environment?\",\"answer\":\"Creators add product data into the model for consumers to extract and use.
