European BIM Summit 2015

Association of Quantity Surveyors, Technical Architects and Building Engineers of Barcelona-CAATEEB), together with the BIM Academy, is organizing a exclusive seminar on Building Information Modeling in Barcelona, Spain commencing from February 2015 on 12th and 13th.

The BIM conference will comprise of complete sessions of talks, practicums, visits, new services and new companies all featured on BIM, as well as 3 top-level speakers each session, standard case studies and workshops about applications (contractors, software…).The presentations are available in English and Spanish with instantaneous translation facility.

The motto of this seminar is to organize attendees from each European country in all the sectors associated with the building life cycle which range from BIM software and product industry, manufacturers and producers as well as associations, managers, consultants, professionals.

BIM can improve quantity surveying process greatly

BIM & Quantity Surveying

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is now liable for executing many traditional QS functions automatically with its 4D modeling capabilities.

A Building Information Modeling (BIM) system can computerize the measurement of quantities from construction drawings. This will facilitate contractors to have design documents which include exact quantities and specified materials in electronic format.

With the utilization of a correctly configured Building Information Model, an exact bill of quantities (BOQ) can be generated automatically. The BOQ is then applied to create reports in the essential format. This is performed with any phase of the QS dispatch ranging from estimating, tendering and construction control.

By utilizing BIM the contractors will be able to keep a visual record of what has been measured where. This will help contractors to detect clashes and co-ordination errors.

The importance of BIM from a measurement and costing viewpoint :-

i) It will form the geometry of what has been or might be designed.

ii) Identify the work scope in Bills of Quantities and colonize the Bills with quantities from the model

iii) Specification, auto-annotating the 3D and 2D drawings from the model including dynamically linking the Bill descriptions to the specification.

BIM allows the entire design team to perform on the same plans eliminating the requirements to digitize drawings. In a BIM process entire supply chain is involved and the material manufacturer will get the ability to contribute their own costs. The huge time saving is possible on the cost planning phases. Besides BIM also provide better cost models to fulfill the demand for VFM (value for money) all through the sustainable building development.
