II: Jekyll Island Convention Center - A Case Study

Only remaining beachfront Convention Center in the State of GeorgiaTaking advantage of the great natural beauty of Jekyll Island, there will be:

- Two exquisitely designed covered pavilions for outdoor events - More than 5,600 SF of outdoor terraces and event lawns that will allow visitors to enjoy vistas while sheltered from sun or rain.

Project is awaiting LEED Silver Certification.

The center features 128,000 NSF78,000 NSF of Meeting Space45,000 NSF divisible exhibit/ banquet hall Eleven breakout meeting rooms, each

ranging from 720 NSF to 3,100 NSF.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) as WE KNOW IT: is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle.It is an 3D object-oriented building development TOOL that utilizes 4D (adding time - phasing, sequencing, scheduled collaboration) & 5D (adding attributes - quantities and cost of materials via cost estimating, specs, energy analysis) utilized to design, construct & operate a building project, as well as communicate its details

BIM offers:• Improved visualization• Improved productivity due to easy retrieval of information• Increased coordination of construction documents• Embedding and linking of vital information• Increased speed of delivery• Reduced costs

Building Information Modeling Management is a PROCESS that

- Reduces waste and energy consumption - Consolidates resources - Augments devices to automate efficiency - Creates an enhanced visualization and

communication tool for all of stakeholders involved

IV: BIMM TO FM – JIA IMPLEMENTATIONProject Goals:

• Improve on time and costs by having virtually zero conflicts between various systems in field

• Integrate innovation and cutting edge technology into your processes and workflow

• Better manage transition from design to construction and virtually simulate construction processes.

• Monitor and Develop accurate shop drawings coordinated in a manner to insure that field construction is without change orders and quality control problems.

• Develop Accurate As-Built Model (BIM), including infrastructure and building systems into a singular virtual construction model.

• Develop building life cycle costs projections, and more accurate project cost estimates.

• Establish a Facility Management Plan and Platform that will provide cost effective support of Life Cycle and Preventative Maintenance programs.

IV: BIMM TO FM – JIA IMPLEMENTATIONThere are three phases of implementation of Catalyst our Team performed for the Jekyll Island Authority.

• PHASE I : Coordination Phase: (COMPLETE)– BIM Coordination, Sub Model Development and Collision Detection

• PHASE II : Construction Phase: (COMPLETE)– As-Built Model Tracking and Development

• PHASE III: Operational Phase: (In-Progress)– (Linking Building Information to the Facility Management Platform)

PHASE I : Coordination Phase:

Step 1: Communication Plan– Our Team gathered all the designers and trades together and held a Kickoff meeting. It was at this time that we established a communication plan with associated file structures and time table for the coordination phase of the project.

Step 2: Modeling Plan–Our Team outlined what geometries and data should be included in each disciplines modelsand why.

Structural Model Foundations, slabs Required for coordination of underground utilities

Beams and Columns Required for coordinating above ceiling MEP / FP utilities

Rebar /penetration Braces and gusset Plates Required for coordination of the routing of MEP / FP piping

Miscellaneous support steel like exam light supports or Unistrut, etc. Required for routing of MEP / FP utilities correctly

IV: BIMM TO FM – JIA IMPLEMENTATION

PHASE I : Coordination Phase: Step 3: Collision Detection - Clash detection allows for the effective identification, inspection and reporting of interferences in a virtual

construction model. Our Team and Brasfield & Gorrie coordinated all of the disciplines virtual models to resolve many inherent

design issues before they were discovered in the field.

IV: BIMM TO FM – JIA IMPLEMENTATION

Examples of Coordination :

1. STEEL v DUCTProblem: Bracing for operable partitions in ballroom spacing would not allow duct to passResolution: Bracing spacing to be redesigned before installation of support steel2. STEEL v MECHProblem: Size of AHU’s on mezzanine conflicted with the steel joist supported the roof above the units. Resolution: The joists depths and spacing was redesigned to allow room for the AHU’s.

• 20,000 collisions 408 real collisions

• 13 companies

• 14 meetings over 4 months

• 24 Potential expensive change

orders avoided

• $255,000 estimated in cost avoidance

PHASE II: Construction Phase

Step 1: Aligning Building Information Models with Approved Shop Drawings-Our Team ensured the highest quality of model creation and accuracy in the final Virtual Collaborative Model by matching all geometry and data to the final design approved

Step 2: Obtaining Manufacturer Data - Our Team worked with the approved manufacturers and incorporated only the most accurate and complete data into our As-Built BIM Model / FM Database.

PHASE II: Construction Phase

Step 3: Tracking As-Built Conditions- Once an element has been installed in the field, our Team worked with Brasfield & Gorrie to decide the most

cost effective manner of retrieving the installed element’s data.

Some of those techniques included:

• Laser Scanning• Progressive Photography• Traditional Ground Team Measurement Checking• Oversight of Sub-Contractors and Trades

IV: BIMM TO FM – JIA IMPLEMENTATION

PHASE II: Construction Phase

Step 4: Building Data Input (As-Built Model Creation)- After field surveys were completed, the Team began obtaining and inputting real world data into the building

model for the actual installed elements. Most of the building elements had to be created.

Some of those methods included:

• Automated Metadata• Point Cloud Translation• Accurate As-Built Modeling• Actual Manufactured Model Elements• Custom Fabricated Model Elements

IV: BIMM TO FM – JIA IMPLEMENTATION

PHASE III: Operational Phase

Step 1: Data Linking – Begins with taking the gathered data and consolidating it into the FM database software, then linking that database to the elements in the BIM Model.

Architectural elements Structural elements Electrical elements HVAC elements Data/Telecom elements Security elements Plumbing elements Site elements

PHASE III: Operational Phase

Step 2: Add-in Tools from Catalyst will allow bi-directional coordination of the Revit building model element data and their associated data from within FM database software.

• Wall Systems• Floor Systems• Ceiling Systems • Structural• Mechanical• Plumbing• Electrical• Materials• Object Location• Construction Phase• Specification

PHASE III: Operational Phase

Here, you see an example of the FM database software illustrating a Pump. The Pump was initially placed within the Revit model, but lacking much of the Pump’s specification. The data for the Pump has been entered directly within the FM database software.

PHASE III: Operational Phase

Revit Add-in Tools that will allow coordination of the building model elements in Revit and their associated data from within the FM database software.

Select the Catalyst B2FM Link menu button and the Revit model data and the FM software data will update within each software to illustrate the latest information available.

IV: BIMM TO FM – JIA IMPLEMENTATION

PHASE III: Operational Phase

From the FM database software, the Pump can be highlighted within the Revit As-Built model as shown here.

This will facilitate visually finding and identifying the building element quickly…

PHASE III: Operational PhaseAnd, the Pump’s data within the FM database software would appear within Revit as shown in the schedule to the right. The opposite holds true from Revit to the FM database software.

Benefits Gained from using this approach• Better Visualization• Web-based• Simulate Before Deciding• Streamlined Communication• Easier self service work order management• Fewer errors out in the field • Descriptive Data from multiple sources • Reduced task completion time• Access FM information from Revit As-Built Model• Link space, equipment, asset & portfolio inventories to multiple models/facilities• Combine models in one infrastructure model for assessment•Productivity increases across the

board
