BIM + Collaboration = GREEN?BIM + Collaboration = GREEN?
BIM, Collaboration and Green BuildingBIM, Collaboration and Green Building
• Temporary Teams• Establish how they are going to work• Dynamics of people working on the project• Companies that comprise the project
• Through this – technology is introduced and negotiated
• So, we saw organizational and technological innovation
• You innovate in all of these ways both with new technology as well as existing technologies

Three Key Sets of FindingsThree Key Sets of Findings
1. Swift, Wary Trust2. Documents used for Records & Collaboration3. Messy Talk, Clean Technology
Swift (Wary) TrustSwift (Wary) Trust
Design & Construction teams share some aspects of “swift trust”
• Key differences make organizing the work challenging• Hiring & Firing• Similar teams across the industry• Reliance on others’ in the team

MCA Report FindingsMCA Report Findings
• There is an increasingly important roll for technologists on project teams
• Mobile computing technologies link the field to the office
• The line is blurring between design and construction
• BIM is enabling and expanding prefabrication
