DesignAs the model moves from design through construction to handover, collaboration becomes increasingly challenging

Challenges of realizing the full benefits of BIM project-wide

• Increasing project complexity• Information silos• Software accessibility• Design focused• Handover to owner• Initial investment• Industry adoption• Training

Who is BIM Consulting?

• Strategic advisory services• Design to construction to operations• Practical approach to Building Information

Modelling (BIM)

BIM Management and project implementation

*Considered predominantly low BIM capability in the industry and may not be included as a sub-contractor Contract model.

Federated Construction stage BIM The most current Contract models are aggregated by individual consultants & sub-contractors within their own software environment for coordination and collaboration

What are we trying to achieve?

• Faster project start up

times

• Better decisions

• More efficient review

cyclesImproved project outcomes

Challenges to realizing value of project-wide BIMPeople, Process, Technology & Policy

• Ensuring the right contractual conditions and framework

• Determining the activities and BIM processes to be adopted

• Selecting appropriate hardware and software

• Defining and controlling model & data structure and versioning

• Facilitating efficient and effective collaboration and communication

• Supporting project teams with a wide range of BIM maturity

How are we achieving goals?

Standardized processes

Innovative use of data

Project-wide access to

models and data

Tailored implementation by organization and project

Results

• Faster design development

• Informed and integrated

decisions

• Accelerated review cycles

Does isolated clash checking add value to design collaboration?

Putting the model first

For design

Use the model to drive design coordination across the entire project team.

Project-wide BIMBenefits of a “Connected BIM” project

• Common Data Environment (CDE)• Accelerated design reviews• No need for proprietary software• Full project-team can access the model• No file size restrictions• Issue tracking• Connecting data sources

But “Traditional BIM” leaves project teams, information & processes disconnected

How do I…• View models without special software?• Link RFIs with objects for resolution of

clashes and issues

How do I…• Link information into my

model for a complete BIM handover?

• Get an audit trail of decisions made?

How do I…• Distribute huge BIM files?• Reduce cycle times on clash

resolution?• Version control to avoid

errors on out-of-date models?

How do I…• Access models on my

mobile device?
