... 71 This section will discuss the scalable aspects of BIM that need to be evaluated in the BIM roadmap and how these aspects might fit with the available resources and needs of smaller airports. While larger airports may have an existing CMMS and/or EAM system in place to fully leverage BIM data, smaller airports with several non-integrated and separate management systems may want to focus on a subset of high-value, lower-cost BIM uses.

... 72 BIM Beyond Design Guidebook 6.2 Facilities Included Level Facility Scope 0 Project Driven: BIM is managed on a project-by-project basis with the focus on reducing the cost and time required for new facility development. Project- driven BIM enhances collaboration with airport O&M staff early in the design process to maximize facility maintainability.

... BIM Implementation -- Scaling BIM Implementation 73 6.5 Data Accessibility Level The Degree of Data Accessibility 0 Archive Server: BIM is only available as an archived file that can be viewed on a limited number of workstations that have access to the native BIMauthoring software tools. 2D plans derived from the BIM are part of the engineering archive and are managed independently, just like any other project documentation.

... 74 BIM Beyond Design Guidebook 6.7 Other Small Airport Implementation Considerations 6.7.1 Outsourcing BIM While the research team has recommended investing in building internal capabilities for airports to lower costs and to strengthen the organizational adoption of BIM, for smaller airports outsourcing BIM may be a better adoption. Large and medium airports will likely have sufficient work to justify one or more full-time dedicated BIM support staff.
