BIM Final Review

What are some of the projected BIM trends over the next 5 years

-BIM based processes that produce better coordinated shop deliverables in less time -Tools that allow visual and creative insight to produce better design alternatives in less time -intelligent models that lead to more consistent & coordinated contract deliverables.

What is included in a BIM Project Execution Plan?

-Define scope of implementation -Identify process flow for BIM Tasks -Define the information exchanges between parties -Describe required project and company infrastructure needed to support implementation.

Constructability Reviews have the greatest benefit if:

-Early investment -Sensitive Schedule -Use of designs that facilitate construction efficiency

What is the most value from increased modeling?

-Interior Construction -Building envelope contractors

What is the most value from increased model use?

-Modeling for project site logistics -Construction work packaging and sequencing

What are the elements of Potential Value of Cost Estimation

-Precisely quantity modeled materials -Quickly generate quantities to assist decision making -Generate Cost estimates faster

What are the challenges of Increasing BIM Implementation

-Top is lack of labor w/ BIM skills -MEP Engineers most concerned with this -Structural engineers least concerned w/ this -MEP engineers most challenged w/ software cost & hardware upgrades.

What are process related success factors?

1. BIM integrated project meetings 2. Platform compatibility 3. Design modeling 4. Construction modeling 5. Early Trade Involvement

What are the 3 basic functions of BIM

1. Building information modeling-Business process for leveraging data 2. Building information Model- Digital Representation of buildings physical 3. Building information management-Combines previous two

What are the benefits of Integrated Workflow?

1. Enables better communication during design, detailing, and fabricating 2. Improves schedule performance related to the systems/aspects of the building addressed by the integrated workflow 3. Reduces duplicates of tasks 4. Produces better shop drawings in less time

What are the context related success factors?

1. Having a BIM plan 2. Applying BIM standards 3. Actively leveraging models for project meetings

What are the top 5 values of BIM

1. Improve collaboration 2. Helps eliminate unnecessary rework 3. Helps reduce cost and material work 4. Use of cloud base technologies allows teams to connect project data 5. BIM tools engage the supply chain earlier and help mitigate risk

Social Factors that undermine success

1. Low level of team 2. Low level of collaboration

What are ways Constructability Reviews add value to a project

1. Strategies to implement improved constructability 2. Cost Savings (Fewer delays, shortened duration of activities) 3. Initial investment required to earn the cost savings from better constructability 4. Improve constructability & reduce costs 5. Better constructability methods

How many different LOD classifications are there?

6

How many elements are in Level 1 of Uniformat?

9

What is a Model Element (LOD)

A portion of the BIM representing a component, system, or assembly

Describe LOD 200

ARE GENERIC PLACEHOLDERS (Approximate) (Plain Ext. Wall-Sketchup)

Define Uniformat

Arrangement of construction information based on physical parts of a facility called functional elements

What is a Level of Development Spec?

Collection of interpretations describing input and information requirements and providing graphical examples of building element classes. (Organized by CSI Masterformat 2010 & Omniclass)

Why was there a need to create Uniformat?

Construction professionals have focused on the need to better organize project information, needing a consistent expanding organization tool

Describe level 4 of Uniformat

Detailed breakdown of functional elements

When was uniformat developed in the US?

Early 1970's by the American Institute for Architects

Describe LOD 500

Field verified representation

What's the difference between MasterFormat and Uniformat

MF: Arranges by work of results UF: Looks at construction the way elements are used

Describe LOD 100

Model elements ARE NOT geometric representations (Approximate)

Levels 1-3 of Uniformat can be applied to what?

Most project descriptions and preliminary cost elements

Define Functional elements of Uniformat

Otherwise known as systems and assemblies

Describe the Procurement Phase of construction reviews

Owner/GC review of preliminary Bid Packages (Design is 60-90%)

Describe LOD 350

Parts necessary for coordination of model element w/ nearby & attached elements (Contains attachments and supports)

Describe LOD 300

Quantity, size, shape, location and orientation (Accurate measurement to plans)

Describe the pheasability Phase of construction reviews

Result of constructability review can make or break a projects viablility

Describe LOD 400

Should be detailed enough for fabrication

Where was Uniformat originally created?

Sweden in 1947-1950

What is a Model Element Author (LOD)

The party responsible for managing and coordinating the develop of a specific model element

What is a BIM Project execution Plan

This plan outlines overall vision of BIM uses for a project

Define Model Validation

Validation checks the model within its domain of applicability to ensure it possesses a satisfactory range of accuracy consistent w/ intention for the model
