BIM USA 2019

The history of BIM in the United States begins in 1974 in the Outline of a building description system in a collective publication: Eastman, Charles; Fisher, David; Lafue, Gilles; Lividini, Joseph; Stoker, Douglas; Yessios, Christos. The next theoretical considerations on building information modeling are described in 1985 - 1986 by Simon Ruffle and then by Robert Aish but the concept of BIM appears only in a 1992 article by G.A. Van Nederveen and F.P.Tolman. In 1995, the open IFC data exchange format was defined. It wasn't until 2002 that Autodesk published the BIM strategy in the White Paper Solutions for the construction industry: Building Information Modeling. BIM mandates are implemented in 2003 by several federal agencies and the US Army Corps of Engineers. In 2004, Autodesk solutions for BIM receives a new central file function (central model) in Revit 6. The next Digital Project developed by Gehry Technologies in 2006 is created. In 2007, the United States National Building Information Modeling Standard develops NBIMS V1P1. Patrick Schumacher publishes his manifesto on the parametric movement of building models in architecture in 2008. In 2011, the Twitter profile of BIMForum is created as the official buildingSMART in the USA. The first BIM standard for the USA appears in 2012 thanks to the National Institute of BUILDING SCIENCES buildingSMART alliance NBIMS-US V2.

NBIMS V1P1 - National BIM Standard is created as the initial assumptions of the BIM standard based on open data formats

NBIMS-US V2 - a standard based on consensus with buildingSMART established in the context of voting and discussions with partners, arises in the idea of ​​the basis of the world standard or reference for the studies of other regions. The standard is based on a concentric development model: ISO measure [international standards], DIS ring [draft international standards], PAS ring II [publicly available standards]

The years 2013 and 2014 are used to refine the standard in the form of the annual Building Innovation conference. In the same year, the institute introduces Building Sciences Online Academy and presents the first COBie Introduction course approved by the AIA (American Institute of Architects). NBIMS Version 3 was published in 2015. NBGO [National BIM Guide for Building Owners] was released in 2017. In 2018-2019, The American Institute of Architects AIA publishes a series of instructions on collaboration using BIM. Currently, there is a reported lack of action and the possibility of introducing legal regulations in the field of BIM in the United States in order not to restrict the freedom of action of the construction sector. Despite the voluntary use of BIM: 89% of general contractors and specialized professions use BIM in at least some of their projects, and 47% (...) to more than half as reported by constructiondive.com.

COBie - "Construction operations The exchange of information about a building (COBie) is the provision and maintenance of information about an object, along with specifications for the provision and maintenance of this information. The two assets COBie refers to are the spaces and equipment of the facility. COBie provides the advantage of cheaper and easier information transfer. Electronic shipments using COBie data are better organized and allow for faster and easier construction of the operating and management manual. ”Definition of BIMFORUM The US chapter of buildingSMART Interational.

NBGO - an American handbook for building owners, contains a description of: processes, infrastructure, standards and activities in BIM, was created to better understand the owners of BIM methodology to be able to work with designers as part of the design and construction phase for further introduction of BIM in use and operation. The handbook allows specifying investor specifications and guidelines along with criteria being specified by public and private investors in contracts, orders and project implementation in BIM.
