As such it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle from inception onward. A basic premise of BIM is collaboration by different stakeholders at different phases of the life cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update, or modify information in the BIM to support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder. The BIM is a shared digital representation founded on open standards for interoperability. IFC or Industry Foundation Classes From the National Building Information Model Standards (NBIMS) Committee A neutral and open specification that is not controlled by a singular vendor or group of vendors. It is an object oriented file format with a data model developed by the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) to facilitate interoperability in the building industry, and is a commonly used format for Building Information Modeling (BIM). The IFC model specification is open and available. 17
RAIC PRACTICE BUILDER Integrated Project Delivery Integrated Project delivery is a project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to reduce waste and optimize efficiency through all phases of design fabrication and construction. Integrated project delivery principles can be applied to a variety of contractual arrangements and Integrated Project Delivery teams will usually include members well beyond the basic triad of owner, architect and contractor. IAI or International Alliance for Interoperability From “Working Definition – Integrated Project Delivery” Task Force of the AIA California Council and McGraw Hill Construction International Alliance for Interoperability is a not-for-profit organization that supports the development of the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) specification and the deployment of BuildingSMART. IAI is an alliance for organizations dedicated to changing and improving productivity and efficiency in the construction and facilities management industry. Interoperability Connecting people, data and diverse systems. The term can be defined in a technical way or in a broad way, taking into account social, political and organizational factors. With respect to software, the term interoperability is used to describe the capability of different programs to exchange data via a common set of business procedures, and to read and write the same file formats and use the same protocols. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines interoperability as “the ability to manage and communicate electronic product and project data between collaborating firms and within individual companies’ design construction, maintenance and business process systems.” Object-oriented Programming (OOP) Object-oriented programming may be seen as a collection of cooperating objects, as opposed to a traditional view in which a program may be seen as a list of instructions to the computer. In OOP, each object is capable of receiving messages, processing data, and sending messages to other objects. Each object can be viewed as an independent little machine with a distinct role or responsibility. 18
