Research has shown that 80% of a building’s lifecycle cost can be attributed to facility maintenance and operations (M&O). Further analysis reveals that the majority of that cost can be attributed to staff labour. It would reason then, to reduce the overall costs of building ownership we must better prepare the operational staff to manage M&O activities more efficiently.
Digital asset management has the potential to revolutionize how you manage and maintain your buildings over their lifecycle. Moreover, BIM technologies have provided an environment that enables better information aggregation and exchanges, but the most crucial factor is knowing what to ask for and how to ask for it.
This full day session will teach you how to define your organizational needs and customize your unique requirements. Many industry “standards” are misleading, convoluted, and incompatible with procurement methods. You will learn how to navigate the endless technical jargon and filter out what is important for your project, starting at the very beginning. At the end of this conference you will understand the entire value chain and its stakeholders enabling project delivery focused on digital asset management.

Valued at $500 million—and supported through equal contributions from the Government of Canada, Government of Alberta and The City of Calgary—the expansion will increase the BMO Centre’s total floor space to nearly one million square feet, more than doubling its rentable area. When the dust settles, it will be the largest such facility in western Canada and will give Calgary top-tier destination status in the competitive international meetings and conventions market.
The project team for the BMO Centre expansion was tasked with designing a building that captures the essence of Calgary, conveying the best of the city to convention patrons and Calgarians alike.
The new building’s interior spaces will be ample and adaptable—with bright, open and scalable ballrooms, meeting rooms wired for instant connectivity, and smaller breakout areas that safely facilitate those all-important human connections.
The design of the outdoor plaza engenders a sense of open space while paying homage to the Corral that once stood on this site—centre ice was in this very spot. The BMO Centre’s new outdoor spaces will invite people to experience the natural surroundings, diverse amenities and friendly hospitality Calgary is so famous for.
The scope of work for this new build casino includes 72,000 SF of state-of-the-art entertainment including slot machines, electronic tables, and private rooms plus 3 options for dining. The layout of the facility is 60,500 SF at ground level with a 11,500 SF mezzanine, located on a 10 acre parcel of land with parking for 680 vehicles, including EV parking and charging stations. The building has been also designed for future expansion of a hotel to be built directly onto the structure. The project is currently in construction and tracking to be complete by the end of 2022.
The Mathison Hall project is located adjacent to the existing Scurfield Hall on the University of Calgary campus, a major extension to the Haskayne School of Business.
Mathison Hall is a full BIM Mandate project, with requirements for both design and construction. BIM is required for As-Builts and Record Drawings, as well as for the Facilities Maintenance Database which will be linked to the project deliverable models. Mathison is a prime example of the Full BIM Approach to project execution and Digital Project Delivery.
What is the current state of Digital Project Delivery (DPD) and where are we headed? Join industry leaders on the front lines, in a discussion about the current state of Digital Project Delivery in the AECO industry. This roundtable will set the stage for the day's sessions by discussing common pitfalls in DPD implementation. How are legacy workflows affecting digital delivery? What waste can we mitigate? What contracts can we modify? How can Owners get value? and how do we challenge the prevailing assumptions about where value is generated in the process.
How do Owners ensure that they actually receive quality data in usable formats? Stop wasting resources on manual data entry and start specifying what your organization actually needs.Before Owners can expect to consume, use, and report on large amounts of data, they must first explain in detail what they need their stakeholders to deliver. This session will break down the monumental task of developing Digital Project Delivery requirements into a simple framework of steps that all Owners can follow before their contracts hit the streets.
Going down the path of DPD will inevitably disrupt legacy workflows. Paper and PDF's are no longer sufficient information mediums and "collaboration" has moved beyond email and ftp exchanges. In our new digital world, it is vital to understand how project delivery effects downstream stakeholder engagement and ultimately work scope. This presentation will dig into standard delivery methods and examine the implications in relation to DPD. New processes (i.e. changes) come burdened with unknown risk, but by understanding the constraints of your team you can remove barriers and reduce costs.
Building owners want to take the digital data collected in BIM and put it directly to work managing their facilities. AEC professionals want to handover the data in a format that is useful. Yet discussions get bogged down in the detail of what the data looks like, where it comes from, and how it is created. This session will look at defining a digital deliverable that meets FM use cases. Comparing two real-world projects, we will examine how requirements were developed and then look at how designers and general contractors responded differing requirements and what these approaches mean for the owner and FM.
In this session you will learn:
Unlock value and minimize risk by combining digital delivery and evolving procurement strategies. This presentation will examine the contractural mechanics behind the process and take a deep dive into the value chain to better understand the legal ramifications of information exchanges.
Congratulations! Your building has been designed and constructed. Today, we have discussed how to prepare for facilities management proactively; now, let’s examine how to use and maintain the digital thread. Your building will go through changes, and your building data will need to change and be updated. Whether equipment upgrades, space modifications, pandemics, life safety issues, sustainability issues, furniture movement or staff turnover, buildings are dynamic, and the better you structure facility operations, the more cost-effective your systems will be over the 75-100 year lifecycle.
With so much of the cost of the building lifecycle coming from facility maintenance and operations, there is no surprise that new technology is playing a role in reducing that cost. In this panel, we will hear from innovative tech companies that are helping owners make better use of their data, saving time and money, and reducing waste and energy consumption through more streamlined processes and technology. Tech startups and emerging tech companies are delivering tremendous value to owners through their innovative products and services.
