    Lectures Contents - Digital Tools in the AEC Industry

    • What is the AEC?

      • The sector of the construction industry that provides architectural, engineering and construction services.
      • This sector is very active in adopting Information, Communication and Technology (ICT).
      • It is a very active sector in the international arena.

    • Shift between Conventional Tools and Digital tools

    • Digital transformation in the construction industry

    • Digital tools & technologies

    • What are digital tools & how is implemented

    • Parametric design

    Digital Tools in the AEC Industry

    • AEC is one of the least digitized sectors
      • Spending on research and development in construction is less than 1% of revenue, compared to 3.5%-4.5% in auto and aerospace sectors (data from McKinsey Global Institute).
      • New technologies like CAD and BIM are needed.

    Before CAD Technology

    • Manual drawings

    CAD Technology

    • Computer-aided design and drafting (CADD)
    • Replace manual drafting with an automated process
    • Used for design and technical documentation
    • Uses software such as AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT
    • Used to draft construction documentation
    • Visualize design ideas
    • Simulate design performance in the real world

    BIM Technology

    • Building information modeling (BIM)
    • Process of generating and managing digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places (locations).
    • Supported by various tools, technologies, and contracts.
    • BIM models (BIMs) are computer files (often proprietary formats)
      • containing proprietary data
      • extracted
      • exchanged
      • networked
      • to support decision-making for built assets

    BIM Dimensions

    • Standard Dimensions
      • 3D: basic 3D model
      • 4D: includes time, schedule, and other elements
      • 5D: integrates cost and budget dimension
    • New dimensions
      • 6D: sustainability analysis
      • 7D: safety
      • 8D: risk analysis
      • 9D: facility management
      • 10D: etc

    BIM Era - Users

    • Most technological changes take multiple generations to be fully adopted.
    • CAD took 12 years for full adoption
    • BIM will take half that time.

    Why the shift between Conventional Tools and Digital tools is needed?

    • Needed due to increasing performance demands
    • Shift from 2D drawings/paper to 3D visualizations/spreadsheets/CAD tools/BIM tools are needed.
