How project stakeholders can apply BIM in their work process

BIM can be applied as a work process and means of communicating with one another in the project delivery method to illustrate the end product (the model itself).

BIM generated a virtual process that covers all characteristics, disciplines, and systems of a building inside a single, virtual model facilitating all project stakeholders to work together more precisely and competently. Thus BIM creates a collaborative design process.

After the creation of the model, team members are continuously clarifying and regulating their portions in accordance with owner preferences, system's adaptability and design intention to maintain the accuracy of the model before the commencement of the actual project. If any modification is made by the project team members, it affects the entire model, creating continuous communication

After that the model itself is utilized to exchange information for design concepts to the owner. The model is also applied for estimating materials take-off for cost estimation and for conflict detection to electronically verify the proper designing of the building system. BIM can trim downs change orders by making changes electronically rather than on the job site which can get a huge saving in time and money for project schedule and budget.

Design information from all disciplines as for example from architectural designs and specifications to structural and mechanical systems information such as HVAC Ducting, piping and structural slabs, columns and shear walls are provided in the BIM database. The database includes and combines all elements of a finished building to one main database of linked project information. If any, the BIM database would mechanically rearrange all connected elements implanted in the interrelated database to communicate with any changes occurred with one element of the design.  A BIM database can surpass it’s 3D modeling capability and perform for 4-D (construction scheduling) and even 5-D (cost flow analysis). The database could significantly lessen waste in construction as well as time delays raised  by RFIs and change orders. 

BIM has also shifted time spent in various phases of design, placing more emphasis in the initial design phases and less in the construction documentation phase. Whereas with traditional CAD processes the bulk of the time was spent preparing construction documents, BIM requires more time up front, fully develop the design and model. When a BIM project goes into construction documentation, all that’s left to do is decide where to cut sections through the building and print the documents.

BIM can flawlessly gather in and incorporate the input and flow of information among design and construction professionals to make the entire process more efficient and reduce delays and cost overruns.

BIM can characterize a design as objects in the form of indistinct and undefined, generic or product-specific, solid shapes or void-space oriented (like the shape of a room), which contains their geometry, relations and attributes. The geometry possibly will be 2D or 3D. The objects may be conceptual and are constructed detailed. A building model is described by compiling together these objects. If an object is modified or moved, BIM tool then starts to dig out diverse views from a building model for drawing production and other application. These diverse views are mechanically constant i.e. the objects are all of a constant size, location, specification. Drawing uniformity reduces many inaccuracies as each object instance is defined only once.

Modern BIM technology identifies objects parametrically. Here the objects are identified as parameters and relations to other objects, in order that if a correlated object is modified, this one will also. Parametric objects mechanically reconstruct themselves in relation to the rules implanted in them. The rules are uncomplicated, involving a window to be wholly within a wall, and moving the window to the wall, or complex defining size ranges, and detailing, such as the physical connection between a steel beam and column.

MEP engineers can make their pre-fabrication process more efficient with BIM based pipe-spool drawing

Spool drawings are assembly drawings which contain comprehensive manufacturing and fabrication information for each unique “spool piece”. Piping spools are generally represented in symbolic isometric drawings. Spool drawings are produced from a BIM model in 3D representation, line representation, and symbolic form along with 2D plans, sections and isometric views. BIM can automatically assign spool assembly drawings with bill of material data.

The piping spool drawings can be utilized for accurate pre-fabrication off-site / on-site compliant with contractors’ pre-fabricating standards and preferences.

A spool drawing may contain dimensions and angles, a bill of materials, and manufacturing information.

Spool drawings provide the following information :-

• 2-D or isometric view of the spool piece producing adequate features for manufacturing.
  
• Sections are given if necessary.
• Bill of material for fabrication
• Field installation information, for example a line tag number and field tie-in numbers
• Suggest support spacing

BIM based shop drawing shows how the building structure will perform at the early stage of design

Now-a-days shop drawings are considered to be the part and parcel of every construction project. The contractor, supplier, manufacturer, real estate developer, subcontractor, or fabricator create shop drawing to be utilized for pre-fabricated components like elevators, structural steel, trusses, pre-cast, windows, appliances, cabinets, air handling units, millwork etc . Shop drawings generate enormously vital information about measures and specifications of pre-fabricated components. MEP engineers also require the installation and coordination shop drawings that range from sheet metal ductwork, piping, plumbing, fire protection, and electrical.

The shop drawing refers to the drawn version of information provided by the Manufacturer or Contractor. These informations are exposed in the construction documents. The shop drawing is required to provide details of the fabrication and/or installation of the items to the manufacturer’s production crew or contractor's installation crews.

The shop drawing is the only place in the project document where all the connection details are shown with specifications to resolve connection issues. As for instance, a properly designed BIM wall system facilitates a much larger percentage of material to be pre-cut to accurate dimensions off-site, which lead to considerable savings in material and labor.

Now with BIM or Building Information System, the contractor can produce 3D shop drawings in which a 3D model can be directly applied for assembly and installation to forecast how the building structure will perform at the early stage of design. A 3D shop drawing contains huge database of information which can be applied for selecting the best construction technique to achieve the best possible output. To get rid of future design inconsistencies and radical changes as the general contractor arranges the BIM model while integrating shop drawings from the different trades, the architects and engineers evaluate shop drawings to ensure that the contractors, manufactures and suppliers have understood the design objective in the same sense.
The different kinds of shop drawings :-

• SHOP / COORDINATION DRAWINGS
• Coordinated HVAC Shop Drawings
• Sheet Metal Fabrication Shop Drawings
• Piping Shop and Fabrication Drawings
• Coordinated mechanical Room Shop drawing
• Coordinated plumbing shop drawing
• Electrical Shop Drawings
• MEP Coordination Drawings
• Fabrication spool drawing
• Sleeve & Rough opening drawing
• 2D mechanical coordination drawing
• MEP(3D)/BIM (4D) Mech coordination drawings

Process :-
Submit →Coordinate→Approve→Fabricate→Install

BIM and benefits of owner

The owner should embrace BIM to reap the benefit of a well-organized and extremely coordinated method of project delivery. Project schedules are also curtailed and overall project costs is decreased.

A BIM model contains huge database of vital information and the owner can utilize these information for analysis and decision making. The database is repetitively updated and filtered during the life cycle of the model. Besides modification can be made at a single location in spite of how many times the data is presented or distributed. The recurrence of requesting, parsing, assembling and transmitting information among team members at the different arenas of a model’s life is significantly decreased or removed. This leads to improved communication between team members and more apt reply to owner concerns or suggestions.

BIM generates coordinated construction documents which can enhance the efficiency of the design and construction procedure. The owner can gain huge cost saving as the project scheduled is accelerated to a great extent.

The owner can apply BIM at pre-design phase and expand it during the design, bidding, construction, occupancy and finally decommissioning of the building.

BIM plays a key role in allocating data for analysis and simulation. BIM makes it possible to develop the amount and types of project analysis. This may vary from early investigation of building energy efficiency throughout conceptual massing, to structural/mechanical/electrical load analysis all through design, quantity take-offs throughout the project bidding, shop drawing review/fabrication all through construction, or even facility asset management throughout occupancy. The owner obtains more value by allocating different analyses to be executed with the transmission of data. This is applicable where numerous iterations of an analysis are replicated and purified at different phases of the BIM lifecycle.

Some exclusive benefits of owner:
• Owner gets the advantage of informed decision-making with the high-tech analysis of building systems, alternative materials, equipment, and technologies
• The owners get an idea about the estimation of the materials and the sequence of work.
• BIM delivers the best 'what if' situation and facilitates the owner to pick up the best one.
• Solve the constructability issues.
• Trim down contractor doubt facilitating a more precise cost representation and more reliable bids.
• Assist project team to build up a realistic and unified phasing plan.
• Minimize general project delivery time throughout the design stage in addition to the construction phase.
• Enhance overall accuracy of project documentation.
• Facilitate the analysis of sustainable design alternatives and cost comparisons.
• Generate perfect and well-timed information instantly available to team members at several locations, with the construction site.
• Makes the way to get better asset management.
• Presents a mechanism for improved building and equipment maintenance.

How BIM make the precast concrete process easier for structural engineers

Precast concrete is a process associated with construction where concrete is cast in recyclable moulds and alleviated in a controlled environment. It is then transferred to the construction site and lifted and fixed in the structure.

BIM provides some great benefits to owner, architect, structural engineer, precast fabricator and erection crews who mutually work in a prescast construction process.

BIM technology can be applied to improve the quality of precast engineering design regarding drawings and exactness & consistency of the documents. Fabrication and erection are essentially error-free, and the effort required for checking drawings has declined drastically.

By applying BIM precast fabricator can shorten lead times for preparing their shop drawings rapidly.

BIM contains a huge database of information which can be utilized to improve the productivity of design documentation from project to project.

The most significant benefit of BIM is that the software decreases engineering cost and cost of rework caused by errors. Besides BIM develops precision in cost estimating, decreases engineering lead time to a great extent, provides support for automation in production.

BIM facilitates design and detail of precast elements with complex geometries in short times and remove the geometry or connection errors and time raised on checking and vetting drawings during fabrication or erection of precast elements.



From a BIM model all the information are circulated in both engineering and in production in preparing precast shop drawings to pre-build a precast project in the virtual world . All geometry, details, and connections within the model are properly placed and coordinated.

BIM is applied to evaluate prospective inconsistencies or project obstacles in the model, in order to determine and resolve these earlier to issuing drawings for construction. The BIM technology minimize the chances of misaligned connections, inaccurate architectural features and geometry conflicts, to make sure that shop drawings are generated without any in depth checking or cross coordination connecting drawings.

Any changes in the precast concrete project like revising wall panel reinforcement from rebar to mesh, moving and adjusting the sizes of mechanical blockouts, revising some lift hooks, and minor changes to some connections to make erection simpler for site personne, requested by the architect, the owner, and the precast manufacturer, can be put into the model and all the related drawing are updated automatically. This is made possible with the parametric features of the BIM model.

Within a BIM model, the documentation is generated quickly and inexpensively to facilitate the creation of various reports and drawings which can depict the precise information requirements of the various Consumers.

Advantages of BIM for precast concrete :-

• Model the overall geometry;
• Take up design changes with a minimum of rework in organizing and reconciling different drawings;
• Model any missing custom components (reinforcement details, connections details, embeds);
• Make 3D visualization of the project to facilitate check for and evade design errors. This is useful for observing complex and congested arrangements of embeds, reinforcing and prestressed strands;
• Production of schedules and shop drawings to improve productivity for precast structures in as automated a fashion as could be achieved;
• Visualize the structure, purposely to present the spatial precast elements in three dimensional views to the owner;

BIM provides digital fabrication of structural steel

BIM is very useful for the digital fabrication of structural steel. BIM can model entire steelwork structures in 3D along with last notch, plate and bolt to facilitate the fabricators in reviewing a 3D steel structural model right from the fabricated components. All detailed information as well as the drawings, material list and other data are automatically generated from the model. The various data can then be transmitted to production planning and automation systems. Such automated routine tasks permit the fabricator more time to focus on the principle precast design and detailing decisions.

A purpose-built building information model can nourish the manufacturing process as the design model contains all the geometry related with structural steel. The design informations are exported to a CIS/2 file (an industry standard data format for replacing steel information) to be used again in a steel detailing application.

Once the steel detailing is completed, the design team or contractor utilize the fabrication model for 4D modeling and clash detection with other building disciplines and models (MEP, architectural, etc.). The fabrication model contains more detail than the structural model, and consequently helpful for interference checking, particularly for building types or application where space is extremely tight.

Applying the design model directly for fabrication will produce a usual feedback loop among fabricators and designers. It will convey fabrication considerations forward into the building design procedure. Sharing the design model with fabricators for bidding will curtail the bid cycle and initiate more consistent bids based on reliable steel tonnages. And the coordination among the fabricated steel and the other building components will decrease the on-site issues and lower the increasing cost of steel erection.

An integrated BIM model empower fabricators to manage not only the fabrication phase of the project but also other verticals of the project as well as modeling, fabricated parts design and elaborating, contract management, financial evaluation, and supply chain management, along with keeping track of updated manufacturing data.

Trim down project cost by removing any inaccuracies in the design of fabrication components, minimizing wastage and ensuring timely delivery of project.

Benefits of BIM for steel fabrication :-

Aid in generating off-site fabrication models for real time viewing in order that throughout the actual process of implementation designers, fabricators and architects in a similar way do not face delays.

Allows clash-free design with consistent drawing sets

Accurate Visualization during fabrication and erection

Highly detailed models for making fabricated components

Allows reviewing of automated construction documents and material lists
High quality due to prefabrication of different components

Reduction in wastage and improvement in schedule and delivery

The impact of BIM for construction industry

BIM or Building Information with it’s real time three dimensional features, serve as a construction productivity tool to increase productivity in the design and construction phases. Many large construction companies are experimenting with BIM to produce cost and schedule savings.

BIM can be utilized for successful construction, lifecycle and long term facility management. BIM data is applied to demonstrate the entire building life cycle. Quantities and properties of materials are extracted without any difficulties. The scope of works is defined effortlessly. Moreover assemblies and sequences are presented in a comparative scale to each other and relative to the entire project.

BIM contains geometry, spatial relationships, light analysis, geographic information, quantities and properties of building components.

Building Information Modeling is digital representation of physical (actual parts and pieces being used in the construction process) and functional characteristics of a facility producing an allocated knowledge source of information about the facility. Thus BIM outline a trustworthy basis for decisions throughout its life cycle, from earliest conception to demolition.

BIM can be utilized for construction visualization and result in considerable cost savings, from design and construction through to maintenance. BIM eliminates a lot of risk s and issues easier and earlier before actual construction took place. As a result the construction process gets shortened and construction takes places more efficiently

BIM model saves time and waste on site as the model provides huge accurate and coordinated information which will lead to fewer errors on site. Thus BIM result in considerable cost savings, from design and construction through to maintenance.

The reduced material waste and aptitude to optimize energy utilization through BIM has also made it a rising option for green building projects.

With its parametric characteristics, BIM track the relations among numerous objects from early design through to completion so that if one object changes, the change is automatically coordinated across the project. Each change in design, scheduling or material is immediately accessible to every member of the building team—from engineering and purchasing to plumbing and electrical. As for example BIM analyzes and illustrates every member of the construction team how many light fixtures are required to light up a space receiving little sunlight. It works out how a change in wall color matches up against the carpeting that’s on order. BIM can also find out how a recommended change will have an effect on subcontractor costs and scheduling.

The BIM can also be applied for MEP plans, to generate a drastic reduction in RFIs, and to optimize schedules.

BIM has the potentiality to create a virtual information model that will be handed over from Design Team (architects, surveyors, consulting engineers, and others) to Contractor and Subcontractors and then to the Owner. Here every one will include their own additional discipline-specific knowledge and track changes to the single model. This can lead to reduction of information losses in transfer. BIM also facilitates conflict detection (where the model really notifies the team about parts of the building in conflict or clashing) to check errors occurred at the different phases of development/construction.

BIM is also useful for evaluating several engineering factors like lighting, acoustics or energy practice, to facilitate provide feedback in the designing phase. So the engineers and designers get the ability to have the consequences of changes and discover alternatives in a streamlined process.

BIM programs are also liable for creating general cost estimating for construction project. All the general information are extracted from the model and connects with a database for estimating.

Now some new ideas like applying BIM for older, pre-existing facilities are coming up. These generally reference key indicators, like the Facility Condition Index (FCI). However, the legitimacy of these models should have been observed over time. In order to model an existing building it will require several assumptions about design building standards and codes, construction methods and materials available at the time of construction.

Validate your design with BIM based clash detection and constructability reviews

BIM or Building Information Modeling plays an important role for design coordination, clash detection and conflict resolution.

BIM selectively check for interactive clashes among any particular system, between MEP system and structural system etc. Clash checks are carried out at any level of detail (LOD) and across any number of building systems to resolve myriad probable construction dilemmas.

Clash Detection facilitates well-organized inspection, identification and reporting of interfering clash in a 3D-4D BIM model involving different 3D-4D solid objects.

The coordinated models may be utilized for quantity takeoff, locations, scheduling, and estimating.

Advantages:

• Diminish the risk of human error throughout model inspections
• Resolve dilemmas at the design stage sooner than the construction phase when rework is enormously expensive
• Produce a collaborative atmosphere amid all stakeholders performing in the direction of geting the best potential solutions to bottlenecks
• Helps to reduce the risk of on-site error
• The Coordinated models generate more precise quantities by location; do a comprehensive clash
• The coordinated models cause more off-site prefabrication which can save hours of re-work in the field
• The buildings are oriented and designed to achieve optimal energy efficiency

 

Process

Design/Construction Team must accomplish and manage an adequate and comprehensive Clash Detection practice to identify and resolve all major interferences among building components become the commencing of actual construction. If the building interference is found to be zero then it will result in minimizing the number of changes all through the construction.

The BIM Manager will accumulate a compound model from all of the model parts of each design discipline for executing a visual check of the building design for spatial and system coordination. Vertical shafts are also evaluated to make sure that ample space has been arranged for all of the vertical mechanical systems and that all of the shafts line up floor to floor. BIM manager will issue a revised clash report to the technical discipline consultants before each scheduled coordination meeting.

In case of a multistory project, the models are spilt on a level-by-level basis for MEPF coordination. For a large project the model is split by zones to trim down file size. Usually, 3D clash detection/coordination go on with a single floor awaiting for coordination of building systems and then continues on the next floor up.

Coordination software may be applied for assembling a range of design models to electronically recognize, collectively coordinate resolutions, and track and circulate interference reports between all disciplines. The technical disciplines shall be responsible for updating their models to reflect the coordinated resolution.

The team should analyze the model and the Clash Reports in coordination meetings on a usual as-needed basis during the design stages until all spatial and system coordination issues are resolved.

All through the construction phase, the accurateness of fabrication models are verified. Before starting fabrication submittal for approval, fabrication contractors must put forward their models to the Contractor’s BIM Manager for integration and clash detection/coordination and resolution.

Internal Clash Resolution – Design Consultants and Subcontractors required to coordinate the clashes among the various scope of work earlier than providing those models to the BIM Manager for spatial and system coordination.

Spatial Coordination Verification: Verification and tracking of resolved conflicts of all trade coordination issues must be resolved before the starting of bidding as these may lead to change orders or field conflicts.

Latest innovation in clash detection system is Tekla BIMsight. It is a free clash detection and coordination product.
