1 Structuring the Adoption and Implementation of BIM and Integrated Approaches to Project Delivery across the Canadian AECO Industry: Key DRIVERS from abroad Souha Tahrani, Erik A. Poirier, Gulnaz Aksenova and Daniel Forgues École de Technologie Supérieure, Montréal, Qc.

2 Canadian AECO industry CapEX 2013 = $290G 20% Canadian GDP 1.4 M employment = 7,5 % Workforce (Statistics Canada, 2014) (OCDE, 2014) 2 Allianz Arena - Munich,De

3 Construction industry alone 7% of provincial GDP 3

4 Canadian AECO industry Complexity Fragmentation Resistant to change Notion of value is poorly defined 4

5 Canadian AECO industry 10-15% additional cost 57% non-value added activities 30% waste at worksite (Engineers Australia, 2005) (Forbes & Ahmed, 2011) (CURT, 2004) design errors = 78% quality problems + 25% construction delays (Koskela, 1992) (Undurraga, 1994) 5

6 Canadian AECO industry International Consensus Strategic reform of the industry Adoption of innovative approaches Integrated Approaches Building Information Modeling Lean Construction 6

7 Initiatives around the world Scandinavian countries USA Increase performance UK Total reconfiguration of practices Technological Advancement / Innovation Singapore- Korea Direct interaction with industry Financial Incentives / academic Strategic Action 7

8 Canadian AECO industry How can the Canadian AECO industry: 1. learn from other countries experiences in the transition to innovative project delivery approaches? 2. develop a comprehensive reform strategy in order to improve its performance and efficiency to ensure its sustainability and competitiveness? 8

9 BIM adoption in Canada Current situation 87% 72% 64% 65% 49% Canada Finland McGraw Hill construction NBS + IBC

10 BIM adoption in Canada Current situation 87%? 49% % % 65% Limited results Small sample size Respondents- familiar with BIM Canada Finland McGraw Hill construction NBS + IBC

11 49% Transition to BIM % 2012 McGraw Hill construction BIM adoption in Canada Current situation Gaps between the Canadian AECO industry and 87% American industry % 65% To be endorsed by public clients To be supported by research and professional associations Canada Finland NBS + IBC 2013 (Forgues and Staub-French, 2011) 11

12 BIM research programs Public sector Reporting and promotion of BIM Key Drivers for Canada Governmental Policy Designated organizations Clear information exchange requirements BIM standards and guidelines (Wong et al., 2010) 12

13 1. Public sector International Recognition of the power of the public sector as a key actor in the reform of the AECO industry A specific government department leads the initiative Investments Canada The complexity of multi-layered governmental context The need for a national initiative National framework for innovative project delivery adapted at all levels of government A National Building Code for BIM? 13

14 1. Public sector Country Organization Investment United Kingdom BIM Task Group Public sector funding Mobilisation million Operations / year (5 years) Total 3.86 million ($ 6.94 million CAN) Finland Tekes Public and private sector funding Pre program at RYM oy. R & D 21.7 million (4 years between 2010 and 2014) ($ 30.9 million CAN) Norway Statsbygg Public and private sector funding R & D 21.7 million (4 years between 2010 and 2014) ($ 30.9 million CAN) Singapore Building Construction Authority (BCA) Public sector funding BIM fund cover up to 50% of costs associated to BIM adoption within firms: 12 millions SGD ($ 10.4 millions CAN) France Transition committee 20 million for a road map Investment 14

15 2. Governmental policy 15

16 2. Governmental policy No formal policy mandating BIM implementation on all public projects in Canada Four separate initiatives Space management and open BIM Royal Alberta Museum pilot project Several small pilot projects Moose Jaw Hospital 16

17 2. Governmental policy No formal policy mandating BIM implementation on all public projects in Canada Four separate initiatives Fragmented policies across the county Space management and open BIM Royal Alberta Museum pilot project Several small pilot projects Moose Jaw Hospital 17

18 3. BIM standards and guidelines Presence of so many different standards Problem for broadcasting a consistent message and gaining traction within the industry 18 A Review of BIM- Guidelines: Content, Scope & Positioning Martin Hooper, LTH Interreg midtvejsseminar 2 November 2011

19 3. BIM standards and guidelines Advantage for Canada Benefit from the efforts and lessons learned of other countries in developing its standards Toolkits, Practice Manual and contract language document AEC (Can) BIM Protocol 19

20 4. Clear information exchange requirements and open standards International Canada An international consensus: The use of the exchange standard provides relative stability and confidence Reconfiguration of practice Requirements for reuse of information over the product lifecycle Joint statement in 2008 to support open BIM (IFC) GSA, Senate Properties, Statsbygg and DECA (Denmark) 20

21 5. Designated organizations for BIM implementation and promotion TOP Government BIM task group- UK BCA Singapore Professional associations AIA, RIBA Designated organizations For BIM implementation Bottom Industry 21

22 5. Designated organizations for BIM implementation and promotion In Canada TOP Government National level: IBC, bsc, CanBIM Designated organizations The need for an organization mandated to lead the national initiative Provincial level: acebim, BIM BC user For BIM implementation All group, professional BIM Quebec group associations to support and buy into this initiative Bottom Industry 22

23 5. Designated organizations for BIM implementation and promotion 23

24 6. BIM research programs International Investment in research and development Innovation programs Technology development Transition Support Canada Involvement of research groups, universities and organizations Funds from government : Engage Grants, IRAP Research projects are one off and remain fragmented and the findings are highly contextual The need to redefine professional curricula to fit the new context of integrated approaches (Forgues and Farah, 2013) 24

25 Conclusion Innovative approaches improve the performance and value generated Governments around the world are driving the reform Canadian mandate can rely on international efforts to inform its initiatives Canadian initiative must share a single vision 25
