money through improved collaboration in this presentation to the buildingSMART Middle East Interest Group on
Monday 25 July 2011 at 9 am Central time US (Chicago, ORD) / 6 PM AUE time Abu Dhabi.
Camps, founder of PHI Cubed, will use his work on Frank O. Gehry's New World Center in Miami Beach and
other projects to describe Integrated Project Lifecycle Management (IPLM), a process which delivers digital
assets to owners. An IPLM environment makes data available to the entire team with a common information
technology infrastructure which binds the team, digitally represents the building and fosters a collaborative
culture. This has proven to increase efficiency, lower costs and reduced schedules with proper implementation.
Salmon, founder of Collaborative Construction Resources, Salmon will discuss BIM as an emerging Standard of
Care and the basic legal framework required to effectively deploy IPLM, BIM and lean processes. Salmon will
focus on the nature of integrated agreements, allocating and managing risk effectively and other legal
mechanisms critical to collaborative success and intelligent use of BIM.
