Define Construction System Design.

A process in which 3D System Design Software is used to design and analyze the construction of a complex building systems (form work, glazing, tie-backs, etc.) in order to increase planning.

Define Site Utilization Planning.

A process in which BIM is used to graphically represent permanent and temporary facilities on site during multiple phases of the construction process. It can be linked to the construction schedule to convey space and sequencing requirements.

Define 4D Modeling and Phase Planning.

A process in which a 3D Modeling with added dimension of time is utilized to effectively plan the phased occupancy in a renovation, retrofit, addition or to show construction sequences and space requirements on a building site.

Define Existing Condition Modeling.

A process in which a project team develops a 3D model of the existing condition for a site, facilities on a site , or a specific area within a facility. this model can be developed in multiple ways laser scanner or conventional surveying techniques, depending on what is desired and what is most efficient.

Define Field Management and Tracking.

A process in which software is used during the construction, commissioning, and handover process to manage, track, task, and report on quality (QA/QC), safety, documents to the field, commissioning (Cx), and handover programs, connected to Building Information Models (BIM). .

Define Clash Detection and 3D Coordination.

A process in which software is used to determine field conflicts with major systems prior to installation by comparing 3D models of building systems.

Define Digital Fabrication.

A process that uses digitized information to facilitate the fabrication of construction materials or assemblies. Some uses can be seen in sheet metal, structural steel fabrication, pipe cutting, prototyping for design intent reviews.

Define 3D Control and Planning.

A process that utilizes an information model to layout facility assemblies or automate control of equipment movements and location. the information model is used to create control points aid in assembly layout. (GIS Layout site)

Building Information Model

A product or intelligent digital representation of data about a capital facility.

Define Integrated Project Delivery.

A project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through allphases of design, fabrication, and construction.

What is the purpose for implementing BIM?

BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND When planning for the implementation of BIM it is critical to consider the entire life of the facility. The planning team should strive to understand how all facility stakeholders will be implementing BIM.

Benefits of BIM on projects.

By performing organizational level planning, the team can *reduce the amount of time spent on each step of the planning process* and *maintain a manageable planning scope by defining their standard goals, uses, processes, and information exchanges*.

BIM Uses applicable to step 3 of the Construction Phase.

Constructing the facility involves 1. Site Utilization 2. 3D Coordination 3. Construction System Design 4. Digital Fabrication 5. 3D Control and Planning 6. Field Management and Tracking 7.Record Modeling

The BIM Project Execution Plan defines uses for BIM on the project and provides a detailed design of the process for executing BIM throughout the project life-cycle.

What is interoperability?

The ability to communicate between people—and between varying types of software.

What is fragmentation?

The information delivery process generates information in a siloed manner starting from the Owner all the to the Facilities Manager. Each discipline generates it's own information sets and exchanges data independently with other project participants.

Define Record Modeling.

The process used to depict an accurate representation of the physical conditions, environment, and assets of a facility. The model should, at a minimum, contain information relating to the main architectural, structural, and MEP elements. It is the culmination of all the BIM Modeling throughout the project, including linking Operation, Maintenance, and Asset data to the As-Built model (created from the Design, Construction, 4D Coordination Models, and Subcontractor Fabrication Models) to the owner or facility manager.
