The Alliance for Building Regulatory Reform in the Digital Age at FIATECH A Public/Private Partnership of Associations & Government Agencies – NGA, NACo, Mayors, NASCIO, Federal Agencies HUD, DOE, NIST… – FIATECH, AIA, NAHB,AGC,BOMA, ….

Share best practices to improve gov’t effectiveness & efficiency Provide streamlining materials that have reduced regulatory costs by 40-60 % MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Alliance Mission Enhance the nation’s – public safety – disaster resilience and – economic competitiveness Through – streamlining and – applying information technology To the nation’s regulatory process To make it – more effective and – efficient.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Forces Impacting Construction & Regulation – Need for Streamlining 6 CHALLENGING FORCES – 1990s to Present Economic – changing role of nation in global economy / recession

Reduced Resources – demands for downsizing and increased efficiency in govt.

Public Safety – greater demand from natural disasters and terrorism

Demographic – aging population & immigration

Environmental – energy costs, resource depletion & global warming

Technological – rapid changes & new technologies

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Construction Industry Response to these Forces?

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Construction Industry Response to these Forces?

“Build faster, better, safer & at less cost” by: – Researching & applying new technologies & materials: Sensors / Nanotech, etc.

– Green Building Council /LEED Program/Sustainability – Building Information Modeling - Supply chain integration over life cycle of buildings

FIATECH accelerate innovation & automation of construction industry throughout life cycle of buildings.

Construction Industry Response FIATECH Technology Road Map

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

The Government & Regulatory System Response?

Nationwide, only 10% of 40,000 jurisdictions, adopting and enforcing building codes, use IT – Only 2% allow electronic submission of plans – less than 1% do reviews – Less than 4% use mobile inspection technology

Near total lack of interoperability of building data within same jurisdiction Virtually none between jurisdictions MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Example of Problem - Virtual Builders Roundtable, 12/05 Conference More than 20 firms design, build, commission, operate, maintain buildings using BIM – Building Information Modeling Used 3D & 4D design with data link to construction team - suppliers, contractors, with: – No printed blue prints – No shop drawings – No change orders

UNTIL…….

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Example of Problem from Virtual Builders Roundtable, 12/05 Conference Until they intersect with the local building department that required: – – – –

hardcopy blue prints several iterations of plans review shop drawings inspections/re-inspections

Resulting in numerous change orders/corrections/time delays MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

In Short We may have “BIM” – With it the construction industry and building owners are beginning to see an increase in productivity

But then “BAM” – We get no overall BOOM in construction in our nation

Because state & local government regulatory systems are not able to interact with, let alone interconnect with, construction data and systems “Yet we all still have shared needs for greater efficiency “

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Impact of Inefficiencies In Construction Higher construction costs due to inability to use economies of scale for materials Longer construction time due to inability to adequately schedule the process amongst subs Higher than necessary regulatory portions of construction costs – As much as 60% higher than in neighboring communities of same size, construction volume – Causing some businesses to leave town or projects not to be built at all !

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

So why aren’t we taking action?

The costs and impacts of these inefficiencies aren’t noticed because they occur: – one day at a time – one building at a time – one company at a time

In over 50,000 separate jurisdictions across the nation

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Furthermore…

The cumulative impact of not streamlining regulatory process & using IT is enormous, yet….

We didn’t notice the magnitude of these inefficiencies until Katrina: – – – –

1,836 lives lost Over 300,000 homes destroyed NO population 40% of pre-Katrina Refineries, chemical & other plants off-line up to six months – $90 billion in total costs thus far

Top Ten Reasons Jurisdictions Don’t Streamline & Apply I.T.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Top 10 Reasons Why Jurisdictions Don’t Streamline & Apply I.T. #10 – Horror Stories – neighbors that have tried & failed # 9 – Lack of information on Benefits, Reliable ROI data # 8 – Lack of information on “What is available and what really works.” (e.g. – ePlan review, remote inspection tech.)

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Top 10 Reasons # 7 – Lack of Interoperable Software keeping complexity & cost of interagency use high # 6 –“This Data is Mine!” Information is power # 5 – Lack of Support from Stakeholders / Customers for I.T. #4 – Lack of Technical Support / trained staff within jurisdiction to install & maintain MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Top 10 Reasons #3 –“Fear Of Change” by Staff & Clients – Both perceived & real, and a history of I.T. being applied before business process has been streamlined #2 – Lack Of Funding, both perceived & real – Funds being diverted for other uses by jurisdiction’s elected/administrative officials MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

The Number 1 Reason: SHEAR INERTIA

Bodies at Rest Stay at Rest

Relevance of Streamlining to Speed Implementation of FIATECH Roadmap

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview of FIATECH Roadmap The vision of the future is of a highly automated and seamlessly integrated environment across all phases and processes of the capital project/facility life cycle. All information is available to whomever needs it, whenever it is needed, and wherever it is needed.�

Fully integrated and highly automated project processes coupled with radically advanced technologies across all phases and functions of the project/facility life cycle.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview FIATECH Roadmap ƒ Element 1: Scenario-based Project Planning Provides a comprehensive, collaborative project planning system that captures and analyzes front end data (including business case, scientific data, what-if scenarios, requirements and conceptual design, customer needs, budget and scheduling, and feedback from operations and maintenance) to assist the planning team as well as to provide the initial data capture to be used throughout the lifecycle of the facility.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview FIATECH Roadmap ƒ Element 2: Automated Design Provides the forum for an industry-wide set of design automation features and specifications to be created that will be available for software vendors to use when developing improved design automation software. Also provides a design automation information clearing house that will serve as a knowledge management resource.

Enables industry stakeholders and software vendors to work collaboratively to develop improved design automation technology for the capital projects industry.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Regulatory System Interface with Elements 1 & 2 ƒ Scenario-Based Planning & Automated Design: - Current inability of most building & planning/zoning departments to accept & review plans electronically - Inability to check for code compliance prior to submission of plans.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview of FIATECH Roadmap ƒ Element 3: Integrated, Automated Procurement and Supply Network Provide a fully integrated, automated procurement and supply management system (i.e. tools and processes for planning, controlling, including financial controls for the procurement process).

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview FIATECH Roadmap ƒ Element 7: New Materials, Methods, Products & Equipment Provide an industry-focused Clearing House for New Materials, Methods, Products and Equipment through which industry members can identify their needs for new materials, methods, products and equipment to coordinate or provide a link between the needs and the researchers in the relevant fields. Also, identify and manage the content to go into one or more of the shared or common knowledge bases. For example, identify common industry-adopted methods or practices as well as materials and equipment information.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Regulatory Interface - Elements 3 & 7 ƒ Integrated Automated Procurement & Supply & New Materials, Methods, etc.

- Current inability of building departments to have ready electronic access to data on approved products, materials, methods that can be used in plan review & field inspections – e.g. video clips of proper installation of products/materials MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview FIATECH Roadmap ƒ Element 4: Intelligent & Automated Construction Job Site Provides the forum for construction practitioners, material providers and technology providers to make a concerted and systematic effort to identify, develop, deploy and evaluate the impact of the components, systems, standards and deployment strategies that are needed for successful Intelligent and Automated Construction Job Sites.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Regulatory Interface with Element 4 Intelligent & Automated Construction - Current Federal & State OSHA regulations may restrict use - Lack amongst most building departments of “fast track” phased construction approvals - Less than 4% building departments have remote field inspection technologies MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview FIATECH Roadmap ƒ Element 5: Intelligent Self-maintaining and Repairing Operational Facility Intelligent Self-maintaining and Repairing Operational Facilities provides the mechanisms for utilization of data to manage the actions necessary to ensure conditions and performance necessary to enable safe, secure and continuously optimized maintenance and operations.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview FIATECH Roadmap ƒ Element 6: Real-time Project and Facility Management, Coordination and Control Provides a fully integrated facility planning and management system (i.e. tools and processes for planning, control, and review, including financial controls - of design, construction, and ongoing facility management). While Project and Facility Management are classically treated as separate and distinct sets of processes with a discrete handoff point, this Element treats them as a single set of processes covering the continuum from initial planning to the end of life of the facility.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Regulatory Interface – Elements 5 & 6 ƒ Intelligent Self-maintaining & Repairing Facilities & Real-time Project & Facility Management, Coordination & Control - Currently no way for building sensors to interface with building dept/ first responders - Lack of I.T. in codes admin & enforcement slows approval of renovations

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview FIATECH Roadmap ƒ Element 8: Technology- & Knowledgeenabled Workforce Focus on the people aspects of advancing and implementing technology within the capital projects industry.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Regulatory Interface with Element 8 Technology & Knowledge – enabled Workforce - Existing state / local licensing, certification requirements not recognize new technologies – e.g. electronic seals on plans - Building & Planning/Zoning professional requirements don’t include ability to use I.T.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Overview FIATECH Roadmap ƒ Element 9: Lifecycle Data Management & Information Integration Provides the standards, models, classifications and other mechanisms for both data management and information exchange for the industry. Includes the foundation for and programs to create and maintain shared or common knowledge-bases. Enables and motivates individual organizations to accelerate the process to create and deploy an Asset Lifecycle Information System: i.e. a fully integrated solution in which the standards, models, classifications and other mechanisms are implemented for a specific project or facility.

MOVING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FORWARD

Regulatory Interface with Element 9 Life Cycle Data Management & Information Integration - Building & Planning/Zoning Depts keep data separate, on paper, and rarely (except for fire dept) have access to “as-builts.”

- Inability to speed disaster response, recovery - reconstruction
