Subcontractor ProcurementQualification / Selection of Company

Sub needs to clearly show competence.

Don’t accept “oh, we do that all the time”

Have them show you how they plan to model

Qualification Test for Modeler

Obtain work flow from company for modeling

Project BIM Manager to test

Can’t do the work, can’t be on the project

Constraint Log and Backup:• Use of constraint log to itemize issues that

need input beyond the immediate detailing team for resolution

• Use back-up documentation form to provide additional information to concerned or interested parties to help resolve constraint

– Issue number – ties document to issue log

– Issue – text description of issue

– Image – Snapshots from models or other documents annotated to illustrate the issue

– Solution Suggestions – Possible solutions developed by the project VDC team

– Images – Sketches or snapshots of proposed solutions
