Objectives

Civil Integrated Management (CIM) • NCHRP Research Project 10-96

3D Engineered Models: Schedule, Cost, and Post Construction, an EDC-3 technology

e-Construction, an EDC-3 technology

History: BIM, BRIM, CIM1, and now CIM2

Civil Integrated Management (CIM)

• The collection, organization, managed accessibility, and the use of accurate data and information throughout the life cycle of a transportation asset.

• The concept may be used by all affected parties for a wide range of purposes, including planning, environmental assessment, surveying, construction, maintenance, asset management, and risk assessment.

Developing a Road Map

Holistic Program Understanding

How does your capital/asset management program function?

Who are the program stakeholders and how are they organized?

What are your short-term and long-term goals?

What legacy systems or Project Management Information System (PMIS) elements already exist?

Which are you planning to keep, replace, or upgrade?

How Does Your Program Function?

e-Construction Considerations

Buy-In

Is there a high-level directive?

Are you prepared to or have you already presented your business case?

Are all, most, some, any stakeholders on board? Management? IT? End Users?

Have you cleared all legislative hurdles?

e-Construction Considerations

Return on Investment

How will your quantify ROI?

What is this system going to cost?

How long will it take to achieve ROI?

How will it be budgeted?

e-Construction Considerations

Technical Capabilities

Who is on point to manage PMIS program?

Who is best qualified to perform and manage the technical aspects, including development,

programming, security, maintenance, etc., of the PMIS?

Is your internal staff experienced and equipped to handle the program?

e-Construction Considerations

External Support

What level of external support is required?

How will you develop your RFP for support services?

e-Construction Results

Moves towards a paperless and

sustainable system

Provides a single source of truth where

documents are stored exactly once and all parties use the same

version

Reduces time and cost Improves quality
