The Movie: Armageddon https://youtu.be/9r7i-9Myg4k?t=96 1975 – Started In Industry As an electrician 2019 - in the 44 years since, I have watched thousands of projects often being won because the low bidder has “missed” something. - 1982 – MSA Story – Electrical – - 2005 - Last Bid Opening Story The industry has supported “Value Engineering” which is often neither but a code for “Cheaper . ” Often cheaper comes at the cost of sustainability factors where initial cost is valued higher than facility management cost. ( .8 liter verus 1.7 liter) All too often projects are viewed as segmented cost centers, with “Construction Cost” separated from “Facility Management” Cost. This practice has led to other practices that result in uncertainty in cost and quality - 1995 – Major Project for the Smithsonian - Low Bidder was $3,000,000 less than the next bidder – problems with plans – Change Orders – at least $5 Million More 2 www.vimaec.com

BIM Technology – Around since the late 90 ’s ( Parametric Modeling) – Building Information Modeling The recession of 2008 ramped up the use of parametric design – do more with less (One of the only good things to come out of the recession) BIM until 2013 primarily within design – the one thing it did well, was allow designers to produce paper plans faster. Contractors adapted to PDF versions of the plans versus paper versions. But in the end, paper still ruled. Starting in 2014 some General Contractors saw the benefit of BIM – The creation of the first Virtual Design and Construction Departments (VDC) Since 2014 – Additional pressure to deliver accurate “As Built”/Shop Drawings Financial Sector – Construction – 1.2 Trillion, 300 Billion annual waste = $$$ potential, Legal sector – Digital Documents Must Match Security Sector – Need Rapid Access For First Responders, Facility Management Sector – Need method to maintain material data Still BIM benefits fairly limited to design and generals but largely unavailable to subcontractors, owners. BIM programs – complicated, data not readily available, and multiple devices requiring complex translation of information, including VR and AR devices. But VIM (Virtual/Visual Information Model) changes all of that. What follows is the story of VIM. It will finally delver the promise. 4 www.vimaec.com

Working With Architect To Produce Better Pricing Stage Experience For Subcontractors 1. Construction Cost - Materials (40-45%) – Labor (40 – 45 %) – Management (10 – 20 %) 2. Subcontractors – average 3 – 10 subcontractors preparing bids for same trades on each project - to quote to 3 – 6 Generals bidding on each project. Not unusual for 750 – more than 1,000 firms going after the 100 – 150 spots available on each building. 1. The subs “count” the materials, and then provide the labor quote for installing those materials 2. Largest portion – Labor is an estimate related to the context of installing the materials specified in the context of the building being built 3. Common problems – Miscount “What did I miss?” and Miscalculation “Job conditions/context” requiring more time than what was budgeted for Normal solution – value engineering – which is neither – code word for “Cheaper” either in 1. materials, or faster in installation. 4. Solution – 3D version of project provides better understanding of the project design intent 1. Provides the subcontractor a supplement to the paper plans, to experience the context 2. Protects the Revit basis, as the VIM can not be altered, but contains all of the BIM data necessary to understand the products being quoted 3. Provides the Subcontractor access to the BIM data and the context without needing to know Revit 5. To Participate – No Cost to Designer – Simply provide Revit files to VIMaec and we return the 3D model to be shared with the Subcontractors https://vimaec.sharefile.com/r-rce905361c4b46aaa 9 www.vimaec.com

AIA Show In Las Vegas – June 6 – 8 VIMaec - demonstrated the power of Revit within Augmented Reality – Magic Leap Hardware • VIMaec worked with 3 Architectural Firms to show the power of Augmented Reality • The difference between Virtual Reality ( No context of actual space ) versus Augmented Reality (Design with experience of actual Space) • Brief was released to select Architects to prepare space for demonstrations at AIA • Permits Architects to show proficiency of design for this new technology – projects will be designed in Revit, with core of a 10’ x 10’ area within a 30’ x 30’ area. • Architects get to be highlighted in the new technology, and will be among the first to have their capabilities displayed in the new technology • Also, we are hoping to have “multi - tenancy” available for AU – multiple people experiencing the same space together at the same time. www.vimaec.com
