Introduction
Class Description
Would you like to optimize project and design management?
In this class, we’ll go through workflows and automated processes that enable us to track deliverables’
development progress and compare with schedule and budget more efficiently and accurately. We’ll work
within the ISO 19650 framework and use some of the standards’ metrics in a set of dashboards to provide
an overview of the sample project’s development. To analyze the data, it first gets exported from BIM 360
software and Revit files using Autodesk Forge software. All exported data, with schedule and budget, is
imported into Microsoft Power BI. For contextualization, we also embed the Autodesk Forge Viewer into
Microsoft Power BI, enabling us to dynamically switch between the project’s models and sheets
corresponding to the data displayed on the dashboards. This approach to data and project management
allows us to improve collaboration, enhance quality of deliverables, and reduce cost and risk. Throughout
the course of two years, we predict saving $190,000 in one project alone.
Learning Objectives

Benefits
Benefits
Investment:
❑ 1 FTE x 13 weeks = 520 hours
❑ 520 hrs. x $110/hr. = $57,200

Benefits
Estimated time savings
(design management meetings):
❑ 20 people x 0.5 hours/week = 10 hours/week
❑ 10 hrs./week x $237/hr. = $2,370/week

Benefits
ROI:
❑ $57,200 (investment) / $2,370/week = 24 weeks
Benefits
Long term savings (1 project):
❑ Life of design phase = 2 years = 104 weeks
❑ $2,370/week x (104 – 24) weeks = $189,600

Benefits
Scaled savings (10 projects):
❑ $2,370/week x 104 weeks x 10 projects ≈ $2.5M
