The US Navy to begin BIM implementation

The U.S. NAVFAC announced that it will move ahead with its BIM Implementation plan in October, 2014. This comes in the wake of increasing global adoption of BIM worldwide. As a consequence, AEC firms bidding for the Navy federal projects must now have a firm understanding of BIM technologies and the upcoming NAVFAC BIM requirements.
The federal agency intends to use BIM throughout its projects life cycle where the 3D parametric models are maintained and updated during the life of the building.
NAVAC has decided to mandate the use of BIM for all new buildings that are $750,000 or greater and all major revamps that are 50% or more of the plant replacement value and greater than or equal to $2.5 million. This applies to Design-Build and Design-Bid- Build projects.
