What is a Living BIM?

Airports, hospitals, office buildings and many other facilities today require complex decision-making throughout all phases of design, construction and operations. Constantly changing conditions require stakeholders to have the most accurate, relevant information to make intelligent decisions. Static documents, in printed or digital format, are a snapshot in time that starts to be outdated the moment it is created. This stale information quickly mixes with new information and decision makers no longer have complete, accurate visibility into the active design project or their portfolio of facilities. Living BIM solves all this. It is possible to push BIM beyond a static model of information. It can become an engine that is continuously capturing live data about the facility that can be shared to the appropriate people to make timely decisions.

DATA DRIVEN INTO DESIGN

We are used to thinking about airplanes and transportations as dynamic. On the other hand planning documents for design, construction and operations are trapped in static files, as master planning documents on a shelf, static PDFs or other static information. The needs of buildings are constantly shifting and changing.

In a dynamic world, the static plan is obsolete.

How is it possible to forecast what is needed in the next 10 years and then bake it into a PDF or printed document?

Living BIM planning combines technologies that enable live BIM planning with architects and planners input that are capable of changing the product from a static plan to one that can continue to live and evolve as changes happen. The provides owners with continuous insight into their facility needs and provides a foundation for interacting with projects, life cycle management, security planning and other uses.

Data Driven Decisions and Deliverables

Data drives decisions. As data changes decisions need adjusting. Why stop at a static plan? The ONUMA System captures raw data, and combined decisions from owners, architects, engineers and planners to deliver a dynamic living BIM.
