Challenges• Four Billion more people

• Infrastructure failing ($40T WW)

• Transportation needs expanding

• Funding Gap (~$20T WW)

Reactions• Re-focusing - from dispersed habitation to urban infill

• Rising of the 3 R’s – Repair, Recondition and Retrofit

• A Greener Planet - Resilient Infrastructure, optimized mobility & green buildings

• Outcome vs prescription based requirements

BIM – a Cultural Change

• Much more than visualization (renderings; animations; 3D CAD representation) its thinking!

• An integrated planning, design and construction process based on an extensive digital database

• Special-purpose 3D/4D/5D models built and documents generated as needed

• Planners, designers constructors and owners have shared understanding of project elements and challenges

• Cross-disciplinary collaboration reduces design errors; avoids conflicts; increases productivity; and reduces risk and liability

The Evolution of Design & Construction

TodayModeling (BIM)

Edges of pavement, sewer & water …

Visual models of objects and their parameters by discipline – pockets of automation

Some transfer of models between disciplines, clash detection, automated estimating take off, move to Design-Build, occurrences of IPD

Complex discipline design problems and alternatives –sustainability, supply chain schedule, Carbon footprint

TomorrowBIM

Digital prototypes of cities, regional developments, cloud analysis

Visualize, simulate, analyze entire systems and delivery –creator, consumer, community – supply chain

Interdisciplinary thinking with real time collaboration on sustainable cities on central model servers (IPD, PA)

Whole scale multiple design approaches & alternatives (Lifecycle cost analysis & tradeoffs)

Success Awaits

“The company spent $40,000 to create the models, but identified more than $150,000 in system clashes. Requests for information were reduced by 75%, with zero change orders.

The 12 people who worked on the model during preconstruction saved the work of dozens in the field later, reducing the schedule by 18%.”

- Dan Klancnik, VDC Manager The Walsh Group

Applications

Data Collection of Existing Conditions & Use of Data

What is BIM?

BIM = Building Information Modeling

3-D CAD w/ Intelligence; not just line workCollection of objects with editable attributesCan include: Size, Material, Specs, When Installed,

Cost

Database Driven

Models for Each Design Discipline

Master Model for ExtractionsViews or slices of the model (Data extraction from objects (i.e. material takeoffs)

Establishing a 3D Database of Existing Conditions

Application: Lack of “As Built” Documentation Less time playing catch up

3D Database of Existing Conditions Complete Set of Data

No more repeated reviews of existing conditions as needed during design; all there at beginningNo additional CAD costsSame effort required; just moved to front of project

Design, Construction, Building Management Tool Best of Both Worlds

Still use traditional presentation methods (2-D dwgs) along with new ones (i.e. 3-D PDF interface / output)

Shift in Design ScheduleRethinking How We Work

Shifted Design Schedule - Challenges

While same overall effort is expended, labor is moved to beginning of project for surveying and design

Higher rate of labor burn early in the project. Early decision making crucial Difficult to make major changes late in project

Advantages

Early Coordination among Disciplines Estimating Exact Quantities

Advantages

Use by Construction Management for Progress Tracking

Lessons Learned

Ensure sufficient level of detail is specified for 3-D surveys Obtain plenty of views/scans Allow time for post-processing raw survey data Establish CAD layering early Define BIM model objectives Phasing: temporary, interim and final

Reducing Risk to Stakeholders

Accurate existing condition information from the beginning Effective communication and visualization tool

for all parties Identify conflicts / potential problems very early

in design Ensures coordination between disciplines Accurate estimates

Allows Designer, Client and Contractor a full understanding of the project

Future Applications

Scoping / Feasibility / Existing Condition Studies New Industries (Aging

Transportation and Infrastructure)

Design / Build Projects

Protecting Stakeholders (Owners/Designers/Builders) from surprises

The AIA IPD Guide identifies the characteristics of IPD and provides specific information and guidance on how to utilize IPD methods to achieve enhanced design, construction and operations processes.

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) leverages early contributions of knowledge and expertise through the utilization of new technologies, allowing all team members to better realize their highest potentials while expanding the value they provide throughout the project lifecycle.

• A195–2008, Standard Form ofAgreement Between Owner andContractor for Integrated Project Delivery



The AIA BIM Protocol is a practical tool for using BIM across all phases of a project. It also defines the extent to which downstream model users, such as contractors and fabricators, can use and rely on the model for scheduling, pricing, fabricating and construction.

• Who is responsible for each element of themodel and to what level of development?

• What are authorized uses for the model?

• To what extent can users rely on the model?

• Who will manage the model?

• Who owns the model?
