Study Notes
BIM Foundations
- BIM is used in some contractual agreements, such as Design Bid – Build (DBB)
BIM Levels
- BIM levels are used to achieve improved performance in building design and construction processes
BIM Benefits and Solving Problems
- BIM benefits include increased performance and quality of buildings
- BIM solves problems such as poor communication, change orders, and client dissatisfaction
- BIM helps in clash detecting, cost uncertainty, and delayed cash flows
Innovation of Building Processes
- Poor planning and communication can lead to poor performance and quality of buildings
- 4D planning and 5D cost estimating can improve building processes
- BIM can improve client satisfaction and reduce costs
Owner Benefits of Pre-Construction - BIM
- BIM provides benefits in concept, feasibility, and design stages
- BIM increases performance and quality of buildings
- BIM helps in understanding client needs from an early stage through Employer Information Requirements (EIR) document
Visualization, Simulation, and Design Improvement
- Visualization and simulation can improve design quality
- The building dynamo reduces manual repetitive tasks in Revit
- Clashes can be managed at three levels: services vs. structures and architecture, services vs. services, and all other clashes
The Building - National Children's Hospital
- Having structured data and information requirements about the organization allows more control over asset requirements
- Tools such as Tekla Structural Designer and SCIA Engineer can be used for design and construction
Summary of BIM Benefits
- BIM helps predict and avoid potential risks
- BIM allows conflict detection, optimization of design quality, and removal of associated risks
- BIM helps reduce impact on areas around the construction site
Conceptual Design Summary
- BIM changes the direction and quality of concept development and cognitive processes
- A new generation of architectural designers is gaining familiarity with working with "almost real-time" feedback
BIM for Architects and Engineers
- Prefabrication refers to construction processes made in a factory, pre-assembled into units
- BIM is used for analysis, simulation, and optimization in design stages
- BIM requires more detailed specifications as the design progresses beyond the conceptual stage
