  1. Crate&Barrel • Founded in 1964 • Retailers of Housewares & Furniture • 145 Stores • $1.4 Billion Annual Sales • 7,000 Employees

  2. Corporate Building Program Building Basics • 35,000 Square Feet • Two Stories, Steel Frame • Highly Articulated Facades and Plans • No two stores are built with the same design • Designed from the Inside Out

  3. Corporate Building Program Hard Numbers • $400-$600 per Square Foot Total Costs • 80% of Gross Sales generated from November 15th and January 15th. • Ten Year Ground Leases • Stores are Individual Profit Centers with Assigned Occupancy Costs • Over-Spending can create Serious HR problems…

  4. Corporate Building Program Overall Schedules • 24 Week Design & Documents Phase • 4 Week Bid to Sub-Contractors • 2 Week Value Management • 32-40 Week Construction Phase • Opening Dates DO NOT CHANGE once construction starts

  5. Corporate Building Program Contractors • Negotiated Award Contracts (GMP) with Construction Managers • Few Projects are bid • 3 – 5% Fee with Negotiated General Conditions • No Liquidated Damages, No Incentives • Long-Term Relationships

  6. What is BIM? • Building Information Modeling • Virtual Design and Construction • Parametric Design Data • 3-D/4D/5D Modeling • Rapid Prototyping • 3-D Scanning • CAD/CAM • Integrated Delivery

  7. Why Owners Want BIM • Reduce the waste of resources used in the design and construction phases of our projects • Improve the “time to market” cycle of our projects • Reduce the operating costs of our buildings • Increase the asset leverage of our buildings

  8. Why Owners Want BIMThe Specifics • Eliminate poor design decisions that could have been foreseen using Virtual Design and Construction • Reduce unsafe conditions • Prevent 2-D “oversights” • Leverage the use of walk-throughs and animations

  9. Why Owners Want BIMThe Specifics • Reduce the level of Unknown in Contract Documents and Improve the level of Construction Cognition on the part of the Architects, Engineers, and Owners. • Reduce the Number of Gaps in our Designers’ Understanding of the Building • Eliminate the use of the Submittal Process to fill in the Gaps • Leverage the use of BIM Software to Improve Assembly Understanding • Leverage the use of BIM Software to reestablish accuracy and precision

  10. Why Owners Want BIMThe Specifics • Reduce the level of Guesswork and Inefficiency in Preconstruction Estimating • Improve the use of schematic design documentation by leveraging BIM-generated take-offs. Eliminate the high-lighter and digitizer. • Leverage the use of multiple pricing models by the Contractor • Reuse As-Built Models in new markets in new markets.

  11. Why Owners Want BIMThe Specifics • Eliminate the Value Engineering process as we know it. • Too Little, Too Late. We cannot afford to redraw. • Eliminate Bogus “Alternative” Designs – Leverage design options at early schematic design. • Improve Substitution Requests. Does that part really fit? • Allow volatile materials to be treated as commodities by establishing early quantities

  12. Why Owners Want BIMThe Specifics • Reform Procurement and Scheduling through 4-D and 5D modeling • Eliminate job-site downtime and slowtime. Where is our Toyota? Our Boeing? • Simulate Constructability to produce a “dry-run” • Improve sub-trade overlap and phasing

  13. Why Owners Want BIMThe Specifics • Eliminate Cost Increases due to Mis-Coordinations, Incorrect Fabrications, and Improper Installations • No more Excuses, No more Hammers • Adopt a Pre-Fit Workflow from the Designer to the Sub-Contractor • Enforce Greater Precision with Installations

  14. Why Owners Want BIMThe Specifics • Eliminate the use of Overtime Labor and Premium Charges for recouping project schedule lost to items previously mentioned • Your Outdated Process is Not My Cost • The Labor Numbers do not support inefficient workflow • Schedule compression via Overtime reduces quality and safety

  15. Why Owners Want BIMThe Specifics • Reduce expenditures in General Conditions, Insurance, and Carrying Costs by achieving an optimum schedule • Use of the aforementioned allows faster construction without compromises • This reduces the need Value Engineering and improves the end result.

  16. Why Owners Want BIMThe Specifics • Eliminate the Archaic Quality of Closeout Documents • Traditional “As-Built” drawings are obsolete, we will migrate to a BIM-centric approach to ALL documents • Use BIM Models for Asset Management. BIm counts really well. Seek alliances with those that count for a living. • The Owner owns the Model, at least one of them.

  17. Conclusions • CURT, ICSC, BOMA, CenterBuild: That’s where I am going next to spread the word. • BIM is a Major Criterion for selection of Future Team Partners • We will create new relationships that support BIM • We will promote BIM adoption and development
