Program Title:
Lean and BIM - Enhancing Efficiencies in the MEP Spatial Coordination Process
Speaker:
Steve Shirley is the President and CEO of University Mechanical and Engineering Contractors, El Cajon, Ca. He is the Chairman of the BIM Committee for the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA), and is a past board member for the MCAA and receipent of their Distinguished Service Award, their highest national honor. He sits ont he board of the California Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors Association (CPMCA), the San Diego Chapter of ACE Mentoring, as well as the Executive Committee of our own Lean Construction Institute's San Diego Chapter.
Steve has been on the speaking circuit about Building Information Modeling since 2004. He has made presentations at national conventions of the Mechanical Contractors of America, the Australian Mechanical Contractors Assocation, the Eco-Build America national conference as well as to numerous trade associates throughout the United States and Canada.
Program Abstract:
Mechancial/Electrical/Plumbing (MEP) contracts can account for 10% to 40% of the cost of new commercial construction. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has brought exciting new opportunities for MEP contractors to work more efficiently and collaboratively. Today the construction industry's primary utilization of BIM is in the Spatial Coordination process. This session will address means and methods to improve on the process, as well as lessons learned from UMEC's decade long journey with BIM in San Diego.

The Lean Construction Institute (LCI), a non-profit research organization, was founded in August 1997. LCI's purpose is to develop and disseminate new knowledge regarding the management of work in design, engineering and construction for capital facilities. LCI has developed the Lean Project Delivery System© (LPDS), and the Last Planner® System of production control. Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery - a new way to design and build capital facilities. Lean production management has caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly. Applied to construction, Lean changes the way work is done throughout the delivery process. Lean Construction extends from the objectives of a lean production system - maximize value and minimize waste - to specific techniques and applies them in a new project delivery process extending from project definition through design, supply and assembly.
