How BIM coordination process helps in completing the Oculus World Trade Center Transportation Hub successfully

This BIM video provides an exclusive demonstration on How BIM was utilized to simplify the design progression concerning the Oculus World Trade Center Transportation Hub in New York for the Port Authority of New York and New Jerse. The project was executed by Skanska, the most recognized construction groups in USA.

To make the coordination process better amid design and construction, the project team employed Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies of coordination. To initiate BIM modeling process, it costs $40,000. But the project cost was significantly decreased as the additional coordination has resolved various clashes on the jobsite at the initial phase before the construction is developed in reality. With the use of wide-ranging planning and coordination activities, the construction team get the ability to complete the project successfully in scheduled time.

BIMForMe – A cloud based tool for building professionals

CAD Studio Inc., the biggest authorized supplier of CAD, CAM, GIS and BIM solutions in East-Central Europe, recently launched a new improved solution called BIMForMe for the investors, owners, contractors, managers and users of buildings.

It is a cloud based tool that can easily connect BIM data (generated through Revit software) with the design and construction stage to fulfill the requirements of owner or operator of the building.

With BIMForMe, the users will be able to explore thorough the virtual 3D model, view 2D documentation and pursue individual building elements through filters and reports. The users not only can view attributes of model elements in a cloud environment, but also modify and insert new properties. Documents are connected with the individual elements, like technical specifications or warranty certificates.

BIMForMe facilitates the users to get updated with the crucial information of the building instantly & securely. All documents and properties are strongly preserved on the server and individual user accounts are allotted to groups having various types of access rights," adds Martin Slanec, manager of the AEC division at CAD Studio.

Some important features like planned inspections, warranty expirations, and other new functions for facility management (FM) will be added soon. All incidents can also be recorded as well as connected with the elements of the model."

BIMForMe contains all the information of a building under one roof. These informations are accessible from any place any time from mobile & other devices. Currently BIMForMe only supports the Czech and English languages.

Now Onshape includes new features for iPad Pro & Apple Pencil to transform your 3D Cad modeling process to the next level

Onshape, the leading solution provider in cloud and mobile CAD, introduces its first ever iOS app compatible with iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.

With the inclusion of new "Force Zoom" feature, the users will be able to segregate a single pixel through the pressure-sensitive Apple Pencil. If the CAD users need to choose a specific piece of 3D geometry, they can take help from pressure to Pencil to zoom in and expand smaller portions. The tighter they press the screen, the zoom will be narrower. If you discharge the pressure, the screen will be returned to its original view.

Apple Pencil offers a two-handed workflow. The users can easily revolve or pan a model with single hand as well as apply Pencil to sketch, select and interrelate with the 3D models.

iPad Pro is enriched with superior portability, robust graphics, and CAD-friendly screen. iPad Pro provides multitasking capabilities like Split View, Picture in Picture, and Slide Over with which it becomes easier to switch back and forth amid apps or websites.

By applying Split View, a product development engineer can easily search for specifications out of a supplier catalog and simultaneously function on a model.

If the CAD users want to learn how to design on their iPad or iPhone, they can visit the Apple App Store and Onshape.com/Learn. To create a free account, sign up in the app or visit Onshape.com/signup.

The CAD users can access Onshape for iPhone & iPad App at free of cost in the Apple App Store.

The newest CIC BIM Standards for Hong Kong

InteliBuild formulates and publishes newest CIC BIM Standards in association with The Hong Kong Construction Industry Council (CIC), Task Group on Establishment of Industry Standard for BIM Implementation. One can download The Hong Kong CIC BIM Standards from this link Download Here (http://www.hkcic.org).


The BIM standards approach some significant issues which are creating barriers to implement BIM in Hong Kong.

The CIC BIM Standards are developed on the basis of the existing BIM standards of the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA), MTR Corporation Limited (MTRC) and Hong Kong Institute of Building Information Modelling (HKIBIM).

The Standards are written following the best regional and international standards and practices along with PAS 1192BCA Singapore BIM Guide and the BIM Forum LOD Specification.

Client Leadership: The CIC BIM Standards are adopted to facilitate the client to identify, control and evaluate BIM deliverables with architects, engineers, surveyors and contractors. The CIC BIM Standards is developed on the basis of the planning, execution, management and examination concerning the application of BIM on a project which necessitate client direction, involvement and leadership. In order to implement BIM on a project, it will also need design consultant and contractor collaboration.

How Architects and Engineers embrace BIM: Building Information Modelling is a useful method for developing and controlling building data throughout its design, construction and operations. The BIM method requires that architects and engineers employ BIM software for designing any projects.

The successful implementation of BIM completely depends on proper BIM training. It is essential that the architects and engineers should undergo proper training on how to employ BIM procedures and tools to develop their design drawings in-house.

BIM Project Execution Plan and Professional BIM Manager: The CIC BIM Standards are adopted for the purpose of outlining the scope of work associated with BIM, the liabilities of the project participants and the deliverables from the BIM process by employing a BIM Project Execution Plan. If a client does not contain sufficient knowledge for identifying or managing the application of BIM, a BIM Manager can be employed to deal with the employers needs as well as a BIM Project Execution Plan (BIM PXP or BEP).

The BIM PXP should plan the broad vision for the project and offer execution details for the consultants and contractors to maintain all through the project. The BIM PXP must be formulated at the initial stage of the project and upgraded during the project when design team members, contractors and sub-contractors are selected.

The client must assign a professional BIM Manager to guide and support the BIM process. The BIM Manager belongs to an architect, engineer, surveyor or contractor or a certified independent professional BIM Manager with appropriate practical construction knowledge and design coordination experience.
